After a long wait, Midjourney is finally taking your anime art experience to the next level by introducing personalization for its Niji models.

This feature allows you to tailor your AI-generated images to your unique aesthetic preferences. If you’re a fan of Niji, get ready for a creative journey that’s more personalized than ever!

Sounds great, but wait… what is Personalization?

Glad you ask. Personalization in Midjourney is a parameter that allows you to create images that align closely with your specific style. By ranking image aesthetics and liking images from the community, Midjourney learns your preferences and uses them to generate images that resonate with your personal taste.

How to get started with Personalization

Rank Images: Visit the Midjourney website and click on Tasks, and the pick Rank Image Aesthetics Niji. Spend about 5 minutes ranking around 200 images to help the system understand your aesthetic preferences.
Enable Personalization: Once you’ve ranked enough images, simply add --p or --personalize to your prompt on Discord or in the imagine bar on the Midjourney website. This command tailors the generated images to your unique style, which evolves as you rank and like more images.
Get your code: Once you image has been generated, the resulting prompt will show your code. You can share it, or use the codes of other persons by adding the code after the parameter: --p xxxxxx

Let’s make some art:

Example Prompt: Beautiful Girl in a field of poppies --niji 6

I have pushed my style for a realistic mode. But you can pick any style, and align it wit your tastes.

Personalize Codes and Evolving Styles

Your style evolves as you continue to rank and like images. If you want to revisit an older version of your personalized style or try another user’s style, you can use personalize codes with the --p parameter. To find your past codes, use the /list_personalize_codes command on Discord.

You can also blend multiple styles by combining codes in the same prompt, using the following format: --p code1 code2

Adjusting stylization with Personalization

The --stylize (--s) parameter controls how much of your personalization is applied to an image. A lower --s value limits the effect, while a higher value amplifies it. You can experiment with values from 0 to 1000, with the default set at 100.

Let’s see the previous prompt cranked to the 1000:

We are not in Kansas anymore, friends.

It’s time to revisit all our Midjourney’s Niji models like never before. Start personalizing your anime creation, and please share your unique style.
