109 Free Visual Novel Backgrounds - generated with Midjourney AI!

109 Visual Novel Backgrounds Pack! Free to use!

These are backgrounds I originally made for my AI-generated interactive Visual Novel which runs 24/7 on Twitch. I realized that the backgrounds that get generated are perfect to use either as placeholders, or as finished backgrounds for a proper visual novel if you just touch them up a bit. I want to share the knowledge with you!

You can easily create quick backgrounds with Midjourney AI! Just give it a prompt on the Midjourney Discord and it generates a picture for you. The free plan lets you generate 20+ backgrounds, which you can enhance later. If you're an artist, try this workflow: generate a background, paint over it to fix details, and you're good to go. If you're not an artist, use AI-generated backgrounds as placeholders to find the right mood, colors, and atmosphere for your scene. 

This is the prompt I used: (location-name), inspired by senior environment artist, pixiv, maximalism, (so many plants), soft cute colors, detailed wide shot, Kyoto Animation Studio anime style 4 k, serene illustration --ar 16:9 --niji 

I also used this tool on the realcugan-x2-noise0 setting to upscale the generated picture.

The resolution of the backgrounds in this archive varies a lot, but these are mostly 1920x1080 images. Each image is a new location.

No license on these backgrounds. Feel free to use them however, wherever. Paint over them and use them as proper backgrounds. Use them in your own twitch streams, use them as backgrounds for your artworks. Don't credit me. Just be honest about them being originally generated by an AI :D Have fun!

(Update: Keep in mind that it's grey zone regarding copyright, and f.e. Steam apparently doesn't allow to ship games with AI-generated assets in them, even if they were slightly modified.)
