Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of anime with film noir aesthetics, creating a "dark anime" or "new dark fantasy" style. It inherits the delicate linework and character design from Japanese animation while incorporating more mature, somber Western dark fantasy elements. This fusion is evident in the high-contrast color usage and dramatic lighting effects, giving it both the refinement of anime and the atmospheric quality of cinematic productions.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this SREF are the strong color contrasts and atmospheric quality. The collision of red light points against dark backgrounds creates a dreamlike yet tense atmosphere; fine lines combined with soft rendering shape a unique aesthetic between realism and anime; lighting treatment is highly dramatic, using backlighting and selective illumination to highlight subjects and add mystery. This style is impressive because it maintains the artistic expression of anime while incorporating cinematic visual impact and emotional tension.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic lighting: Enhances the depth and spatial sense of the image, giving characters or scenes more dimensionality and drama
  • Cyberpunk elements: Introduces a mix of futuristic technology and retro elements, reinforcing the avant-garde feel and temporal collision
  • Dark fantasy: Adds mysterious, supernatural elements that improve the overall narrative quality and visual tension

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi or fantasy themed game art design, animated movie posters, novel cover illustrations, concept design, and character designs requiring strong emotional expression. It's also appropriate for music album covers, dark-themed comic or animation projects, and any visual creation needing to evoke tense, mysterious, or supernatural atmospheres.

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
