why does it struggle to make a normal lokking skull, i tried this so many times but still no good results. prompt in comments

Adjust the AR to be slightly less tall.

thanks, works better now

since we're here, do you have any promt i could use to make the skull look smaller, so i can crop it later on to the AR i like, cuz now it covers almost the whole frame and cant crop it without croping a part of the skull

Came here to say exactly this

prompt: "human skull made of marble, symmetrical, ultra realistic, high details, 4k, --ar 9:16"

try human skull made of bone, but then go to remix mode and change bone to marble

Try words like anatomical, museum, and such hopefully to make MJ draw from references of real skulls instead of fantasy

Just show it an actual human skull & dial up the --iw

Have you tried it in --test or --testp? Basic mode is very creative but it really struggles with things like skulls.

Fyi stable diffusion has a high Res fix which fixes this issue. Dunno why midjourney hasn't implemented it yet

Try without "human"? Maybe also try with --test and --testp, and as someone mentioned a square aspect ratio is probably best for a skull.

The best i found is to import an already existing URL skull to thé prompt and then adjust --iw strength that is the best..

Best by far in my experience as well 👆 this is the way

What is the max number the iw can be? I’ve just been using 5

Has anyone tried using "homo sapiens" or "cranium" in a prompt? Maybe this gives more realistic results

homo is banned. I was trying to do something with homo sapiens, homo danilsovans, homo erectus..etc recently but didn't work.

MJ doesn't like the term 'homo' which is a shame, because I find the more technical and less used a term is the better generally

Do you have images of the ones that you felt looked off?

Who’s to say these aren’t normal? Lol We don’t know what world midjourney is living in.

Like it’s been said, try shortening the aspect ratio. Or better, google images of skulls and see what is the most common aspect ratio. Because there is a chance that this norm also applies to the pictures of skulls it was trained off of, it may help MJ ‘fit the subject into its space’ if you mimic the AR you find when searching for your subject matter.

try „realistic proportions“ ! Helped me quite a bit

you have 2 ways you can go here, both methods you will need to stay close to a square aspect ratio as you can since MJ starts adding extra pieces and elongating things.

How it style 5000 low???

image prompts help a ton

my suggestions are 'anatomically correct human skull' (was doing them the other day) and to generate it in testp first. And have you tried scaffolding? if you do a search in the discord you should find a thread about it, it's basically finding things midjourney does well that are similar to what you're looking for, prompting that, then remixing the result with your actual desired prompt. The main way it's described is with letters, so prompting "o signage" for something round and then remixing with your desired prompt. But you can also do it with similar items, you're basically just looking to get the composition vaguely right. For example, today I was trying to get falkor from neverending story, so I first prompted Maremma dog lying down and then remixed it with the prompt falkor from neverending story.

These look really cool tho

Its because of the aspect ratio

Idk, looks like you made a collection of alien skulls and that’s neat. What the Predator’s trophy room looks like.

A good tip for finding prompt ideas is to search the community feed for what you are trying to create and see what others have had success with.

--testp

Symetrical will Mick it up.

Way too tall. Keep it square-ish. Anything tall makes MJ double up height-wise

I add in the words ‘anatomically correct’ and I get a regular human skull

I found "marble human skull --testp" worked pretty well

The third one looks like a stormtrooper helmet skull, amazing results by far

Artbreeder collager is more accurate with text prompts imo.

Try "skull; realistic; anatomically correct" using --test or --testp

It's pretty old problem and it was fixed in last MJ version. To use latest algorithm you need to add --test option.

Try adding “ideal human proportions, —no double face, long neck”

Is there a way to confirm what aspect ratio is generated for example I tried 10:16 can’t really tell if it worked. Is there an official list of all the supported Aspect Ratios? Like is 10:10 even a thing

Because that's what it's own skull looks like. This is a self portrait

I didn't have a problem with skulls. try skeleton head

Not gonna lie these all still look super cool

Just remaster it

What’s this website?

Midjourney bruh
