AI for Artists, Inspiration, , ,

After the recent launch of Midjourney's new Niji v5 model, a new popular trend emerged among Midjourney users known as “Anime Figure Photograph.” You may also refer to it as “Figurine Photograph” or “Toy Photography.”

If you're interested in exploring the AI prompt to create stunning anime-style artwork, then keep reading! In this post, I have compiled my top 10 Midjourney prompts for creating anime-style art using Niji 5 or Niji Journey.

What's Anime Figure Photograph?

Anime Figure Photograph is a hobby that has gained popularity in the group of anime enthusiasts. It involves capturing stunning photographs of one's own anime figures.

Figure collectors and skilled photographers alike delight in constructing intricate scenes and capturing the essence of their beloved figures through photography.

Some of these styles are inspired by the official promotional images released by anime figure companies themselves. The level of dedication, skill, and attention to detail invested in this form of photography is truly awe-inspiring, resulting in breathtaking images.

Nowadays, with easy access to generative AI, you can create these captivating images without even owning a physical camera or the actual anime figures!

By learning to prompt and utilizing AI tools, you can enjoy creating your imaginary anime character figurine photo as well. We'll use Midjourney Niji 5 to create them! 

What's Niji 5 (Niji Journey) and how can I access it?

The Niji Journey represents an exciting collaboration between Midjourney and Spellbrush, the talented developer behind renowned projects like WaifuLabs and Arrowmancer.

While both Niji mode and Niji Journey utilize the same powerful AI model, they offer users two distinct pathways to access them. The first is to access it within Midjourney, and the second is to access it via Niji Journey Discord.

You may read here for more information. That being said, you should access Niji via Niji Journey since you'll be able to change the “style” of the model there.

After you got the access to Niji Journey, let's go to the next step!

Recommended Style in Niji 5 for Anime Figure Photograph

The Niji 5 or Niji Journey's current version (the v5 model) comes in four different styles. “Expressive Style” is the best style for anime figurine photography.

Let's choose this style before we start entering the prompt. It's simple. Just typing “/settings” and pressing enter. Then select “Expressive Style,” and you're all set to rock!
