Midjourney released version 6 just before Christmas. I've played with it some and would love to be using it on my Reflective Echoes project but it doesn't have the outpainting feature yet so I can do two versions of my images.
The prompting is a bit different now as It will interpret the prompts differently than version 5.2. That makes for a bit of a learning curve. So far I've like most of the results but sometimes v5.2 edges it out.
Version 6 is introducing text ability for the first time in Midjourney. Short text in quotes works best at this point. They will be working on continued improvements on version 6 and hope to release it as the default version by the end of January.
They are also releasing a web interface that I have access to as I'm in the 10k image club but I have zero interest in using a web interface when I can work in Discord in my own server.
Today I decided to play with a single prompt and some of the many style options I've amassed a list of. Generative art uses traditional art styles and also will turn some phrases into styles which makes some interesting results on images.
The prompt is:
modern family home (style)
The image in the header was "modern family home, original lego" and of course I added an aspect ratio. The rest of the images I'm sharing today will be the default 1:1 ratio.

Using styles can be a lot of fun. They can be mixed and matched. We never really know what the results will be. I used about 100 styles and then selected the results I liked the best.
I will often try multiple styles and combinations before deciding on a final image. I didn't on this group or I'd be a week getting this post ready.
I'm curious to see how version 6 ends up functioning. Remember, let your imagination out to play with styles.
