Style Summary

This set of styles showcases illustrations with a bold, graphic aesthetic, often featuring limited color palettes and strong lines. There's a clear influence from vintage comic books and pulp magazines, with an emphasis on dynamic compositions and stylized characters. The styles often convey a sense of drama, intrigue, and a hint of darkness. The styles rely on contrasts to provide definition.

Style Analysis

Color: The color palettes are limited, often featuring a combination of two or three colors. Common combinations include red and black, yellow and blue, or orange and green. The restricted color range adds to the vintage feel. The limited palettes provide a sense of starkness and visual impact.
Lighting: The lighting is often dramatic and high-contrast, creating strong shadows and highlights. This enhances the sense of drama and intensity. The lighting is used to emphasize certain elements and create a focal point. The use of chiaroscuro techniques adds depth and dimension to the images.
Design Technique: The design techniques emphasize bold lines, strong shadows, and a limited color palette. The styles often mimic the look of vintage comic books or pulp magazine covers. The use of halftone patterns adds to the retro feel.

Application Scenarios

Comic Book Covers or Graphic Novel Illustrations: The vintage comic book aesthetic makes these styles ideal for comic book covers or graphic novel illustrations. The styles will create a sense of nostalgia for readers.

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
