To highlight the unique advantages and features of the style, we have carefully crafted custom prompts for each sref. By using these prompts, you can perfectly replicate the sref's effects.

Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Japanese anime illustration and digital painting, with touches of magical realism. It belongs to contemporary illustration styles because it features typical anime character design, refined digital rendering techniques, and skillful integration of realistic scenes with fantastical elements. This style maintains the fresh aesthetic of anime while demonstrating professional digital art standards through delicate lighting and texture work.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this SREF are bright, fresh color tones and exquisite detail work. The palette is dominated by blue-green hues, creating a refreshing and serene visual experience. The lighting effects are handled very naturally, with meticulous attention to details like the fluffy texture of clouds and metallic surface reflections. Character designs follow typical Japanese aesthetic principles with soft lines and harmonious proportions. The overall composition is richly layered, featuring detailed foregrounds and expansive backgrounds that create an immersive sense of presence.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • ethereal lighting: Further enhances the dreamlike light effects in the image, making the overall atmosphere more ethereal and beautiful
  • pastel color palette: Using soft pastel colors can strengthen the gentle texture and Japanese aesthetic characteristics
  • cinematic composition: Adding cinematic perspective and framing elevates the dramatic tension and visual impact

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for light novel illustrations, game character design, anime poster creation, and youth-themed visual design. Due to its fresh and beautiful qualities, it's also well-suited for brand packaging design (especially for products targeting young demographics), mobile application interface design, and social media visual content creation.

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
