The prompt

Prompt

A giant hourglass standing in shallow still water on a black sand beach, the upper chamber holding a turbulent stormy ocean with waves and dark clouds, the narrow middle where a tiny ship struggles through the glass neck, the lower chamber filling with calm still water and sand, warm sunset light from behind the hourglass creating long shadows on the wet sand, impossible scale juxtaposition, no text, no letters --ar 3:4 --stylize 300

How to use this prompt

  1. 1

    Open the generator that matches the model and version above, and start a new image rather than editing an existing one.

  2. 2

    Set the output to 3:4 and apply the settings shown in the parameters panel — together those produced the 576 × 768 image on this page.

  3. 3

    Paste the prompt exactly as written. Changing the wording changes the image, so copy it before you edit.

  4. 4

    Generate, then change one thing at a time. The result will not be pixel-identical to the image on this page, because no seed is recorded for it.

Midjourney takes the aspect ratio as a parameter appended to the prompt rather than as a separate control, written as --ar 3:4, and --stylize followed by a number controls how far the model pushes its own aesthetic. Append both to the end of the prompt text instead of looking for fields for them.
