Mastering Midjourney: How To Create Similar Images In Midjourney

About this video

The creator demonstrates how to create similar images in Midjourney, thinking mainly about print on demand and children’s books where the same character could be reused across pages. Starting from a cartoon hippopotamus image he had made earlier (with a prompt he says he generated using ChatGPT), he shows upscaling an image, creating variations with the V1-V4 buttons, and making simple edits. The main technique is copying the link to an upscaled image, pasting it after the /imagine command, and adding a new text prompt — for example, a large hippopotamus walking in tall grass, drinking water, or eating — so Midjourney takes inspiration from the reference image. He notes the resulting hippo differs in each image even when the background stays similar, and some attempts produce odd mixed results. He also shows uploading any image into Discord, copying its link, and using it as a reference for a new prompt. He stresses that the process is testing: learning how to talk to the AI, regenerating, upscaling, and varying images until they work.

Key takeaways

• Copy the link of an upscaled Midjourney image and paste it after /imagine with a new text prompt to generate a similar image with a new action or setting.
• Use the V1-V4 variation buttons and upscaling to create different, cleaner, more detailed versions of an image you like.
• You can upload any image into Discord, copy its link, and use it as a Midjourney reference — the creator estimates the match is only roughly 50-60% similar.
• Character consistency is imperfect: his hippopotamus looked different in every generated image even when backgrounds stayed similar.
• The workflow is iterative testing — adjust prompts for actions like drinking or eating, regenerate, and learn how the AI responds.
