[Midjourney] I wish I'd known this sooner. 3 AI image generation prompts to solve the broken finger problem. 9 prompt examples to eliminate finger distortion and generate beautiful images for anyone.
Hello! This is Sakista!
Do you have trouble generating beautiful fingers with Midjourney or other AI image generators?
I've been thinking about the finger problem for a long time...
I've discovered some things through various hypotheses and image generation tests, so I'd like to share them with you.
I've spent dozens of hours thinking and repeating the image generation process.
I will summarize everything I know now.
Why can't fingers be generated beautifully in the first place?
Of course, it's simply because it's a weak point for AI, or it's complex and difficult to generate...
However, I returned to one fundamental point.
The common sense that a hand = 5 fingers does not apply to AI!!
For AI, based on a large amount of data, human hands often have five fingers. That's all there is to it...
AI has no common sense or fixed ideas.
Therefore, when a human with "6 fingers" is generated:
Human: Why? But AI: It's not a failure.
That's it.
When I realized this, a prompt came to mind.
Wouldn't it be better to specify the hand in detail?
Like, "It has 5 fingers!"
For example, when specifying hair, you specify the color and hairstyle.
Prompt example: pink bob hair
Similarly, for hands, you specify that this person "has 5 fingers."
I believe it is difficult for AI to determine that a human = 5 fingers in the first place, and for example, it becomes difficult to meet the demand for generating humans with 6 or more fingers for horror themes.
Therefore, when a human is specified in a prompt, it is designed to generate something human-like in most cases.
You can see this by looking at the progression of Midjourney from v1 to the latest v6.1.
In character generation, it has becomemore human-likefrom v1 to v6.
Up until about v1 to v3, even the faces were distorted.
From about v4, it evolved rapidly and became a human-likeface.
From this trend, simple prompts (e.g., human) haveimproved the quality of generation results based on a large amount of data.
Therefore, the content described in this article will likely be resolved by the evolution of AI image generation.
In Midjourney, V7 is getting a lot of attention, so I hope the finger problem will also be updated (I'd like to hope so)!
Until then, I hope this article will be useful for your image generation life.
Also, I've included an "important note" at the end, so please be sure to read it!
The introduction has been long, but I will now explain the prompts!
3+α prompts to generate beautiful fingers with AI image generation
What we know now about generating beautiful fingers
Give the hands a role
Specify five fingers
Include details about the hands in the prompt
+α: Use editing
First, about 1-3.
Through extensive testing with AI image generation, I have found that giving the hands a specific role or instruction improves the quality of the generated hands compared to providing no instructions at all.
For example:
A cafe table. Holding a hamburger in hand.
Holding a bouquet of flowers with five fingers.
A model posing and holding a luxury bag with five manicured fingers.
I will list the actual prompts along with images.
Generating beautiful fingers with prompts
Prompt 1

An 18-year-old extremely cute Japanese model is inside an American-style hamburger shop, holding a soda can in one hand and extending it toward the camera. The composition emphasizes the soda can as the main focus, with the model’s smile enhancing the background. The vibrant pop color palette stands out, and cinematic lighting enhances the atmosphere.

Prompt 7

An 18-year-old extremely cute Japanese model with a bob hairstyle is captured in a vibrant setting. She holds a dessert crepe wrapped in a paper holder with all five fingers, filled with whipped cream, banana slices, and red fruit. Her Y2K fashion style stands out, adding a trendy and playful vibe. The background features a vast grassland stretching to the horizon, illuminated by soft natural light. The bright and cheerful atmosphere enhances the overall aesthetic, creating a visually appealing and lively composition.

Prompt 8

An 18-year-old cute Japanese model with dark hair styled in twin-tails poses in a grassland. She is captured from a high-angle perspective with a slightly tilted composition, creating a dynamic feel. She raises her right hand near her face, palm facing outward with fingers spread, while gazing directly at the camera with a confident expression. She stylishly wears Y2K fashion, complemented by white socks and black-and-white shoes that add a refined touch to her outfit. The high-angle perspective and slightly distorted framing enhance the casual and youthful energy of the image.

Generate beautiful fingers using the Edit function
It's a good image, but the fingers are broken.
In such cases, use the Midjourney Editor function.

Press "Editor" at the bottom right of the Midjourney web screen.
Prompt 9

Prompt:
A hand with five beautiful fingers.

Important note
This content is a supplementary prompt technique for generating beautiful fingers.
Please understand in advance that it does not necessarily guarantee perfect generation.This article is published for free because it is "not perfect and may become unnecessary due to updates."Please try applying it.
Also, it is difficult in the following cases:
- When the model is placed small within the composition (hands become even more detailed and difficult)
- Complex depictions, such as hands covering the face
When the subject is small, such as in full-body shots or wide-angle shots, and each part is detailed, not only hands but also faces tend to break. The size of nails and fingers is also a challenge.
I really hope to see improvements in this area with Midjourney V7!!!
It seems that issues, image quality, and speed will be significantly improved in V7.
I wonder if the rumored video and 3D features will be released within the year. I'm looking forward to it.
Also, if you are 'not quite satisfied,' go ahead and re-roll with Strong. It's actually quite useful.

Thank you for reading this far!
I, Sakista, write articles about image generation AI on note.

I make it a priority to write about things I've noticed in image generation and techniques, using my own theories, in a way that is easy for beginners in image generation AI to understand. Of course, I also post many advanced techniques that will help you learn more about image generation AI.
If you have even the slightest interest in image generation AI, I would be happy if you could follow me!
