Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of neo-classical painting, dark fantasy, and cinematic atmospheric art. The images feature strong dramatic lighting contrasts, presenting a quality reminiscent of movie posters or high-end concept art. This style evokes the work of artists like Alex Ross and Gerald Brom, renowned for their perfect fusion of realism with fantasy elements.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent shared characteristic across these images is the deep blue and gold/orange color contrast, creating powerful visual impact. All images employ dramatic light and shadow treatment, with clear and expressive light sources forming stunning visual focal points against dark backgrounds. The images have an oil painting-like quality but with the precision of modern digital art, featuring subtle texture and depth. This style is impressive because it simultaneously captures epic cinematic atmosphere and refined artistic detail.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • cinematic lighting: Adding this term enhances the dramatic lighting effects, giving the image more of a blockbuster film visual impact
  • oil painting texture: Using this reinforces the textural layers of the work, giving digital pieces the substantive feel of traditional art
  • dramatic atmosphere: Adding this element elevates the overall emotional intensity and mood creation, allowing viewers to experience stronger emotional resonance

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for movie poster design, game cover art, science fiction or fantasy book illustrations, music album covers, and any commercial art projects requiring strong emotional atmosphere and visual impact. It's also excellent for concept art and character design, especially in works needing to depict supernatural, mysterious, or epic scenes.

More Tips


You can explore further by combining the following command:

  • --sv: There are six versions of the Style Reference feature in Midjourney version 7 when using images. Use the --sv parameter to choose between them. --sv 6 is default. --sv 4 is the old V7 sref model (prior to June 16, 2025). Using --sv 6 and --sv 4 may produce different style results.
  • --s: Default value is 100, can be set from 0 to 1000. The higher the value, the more detailed the image, and the closer the style may be to reality.
  • -niji 6: Using this command will give the image a more anime style.
  • --sw: Default value is 100, can be input from 0 to 1000. A higher value makes the style closer to the original.
  • You can now blend multiple --sref codes together (for example --sref 123 456 )
  • You can weigh individual codes or urls as follows --sref 123::2
