Art Style Type Style Characteristics Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords Recommended Application Scenarios

Art Style Type

This SREF style blends dark illustration, neo-gothic aesthetics, and Japanese anime influences. It showcases minimalist color contrast and defined silhouettes, resembling black and white manga with limited color accents. The style carries distinct dark fantasy elements, creating a profound and dramatic atmosphere through simplified forms and stark color contrasts.

Style Characteristics

The primary characteristic of these images is the extremely limited color palette, dominated by black, white and gray tones with striking red accents. The compositions are clean and decisive, with sharp, defined outlines creating powerful visual impact. Shadow treatment is highly dramatic, with strong light-dark contrasts establishing a mysterious and somewhat oppressive atmosphere. The overall aesthetic presents an elegant yet austere beauty, expressing complex emotions through minimalist means.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

Dark Gothic Aesthetic: Enhances the mysterious quality and dramatic contrasts, adding more somber elegance to the atmosphere
Ink Wash Texture: Improves the fluidity and depth of linework, bringing more Eastern aesthetic sensibilities to the visuals
Neon Accents: Creates more stunning visual focal points by incorporating additional limited but vibrant color elements into the black and white foundation

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for dark fantasy game character designs, modern gothic book covers, atmospheric music album artwork, visual style development for independent animations, and dramatic fashion photography and poster designs. It effectively communicates moods of mystery, power, and elegance, making it ideal for visual works that need to establish strong emotional 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.
