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 primarily blends Neo-Baroque, Dark Fantasy, and Eastern Mythological elements. It features the ornate decorative quality and dramatic lighting of Baroque art, but incorporates modern dark fantasy aesthetics through its somber color palette and mysterious atmosphere. Simultaneously, the use of gold detailing and symmetrical composition evokes the solemnity of religious art, creating a unique visual language where the sacred and the dark coexist.

Style Characteristics

The style characteristics of these images are highly distinctive: a deep black and gold color scheme runs throughout, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere; intricate textures and decorative elements are incredibly rich, with every detail meticulously crafted; compositions often employ central symmetry, with subjects surrounded by sacred halos or geometric patterns that enhance the ritualistic and mythological qualities; the contrast between light and shadow is dramatic, making subjects stand out from dark backgrounds and creating theatrical visual impact. This style is impressive because it perfectly combines the solemnity of classical art with the refined texture of modern digital art, creating a timeless mysterious aesthetic.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Golden Ratio: Adding this element can strengthen the harmony of the composition, bringing a balanced beauty reminiscent of classical art
  • Etched Details: Using this term can enhance the fineness of surface textures, creating qualities similar to ancient metalwork or woodcarving craftsmanship
  • Mythic Aura: Adding this element reinforces the sacred quality of the subject, creating an otherworldly mythological atmosphere and elevating the overall spiritual expression

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fantasy game character design, dark mythology-themed book covers, epic movie posters, illustrations for mystical religious or occult themes, luxury edition collectible game card designs, and any visual art creation that needs to convey solemnity, mystery, and nobility. It's also perfect for modern interpretations of ancient civilizations or mythological creatures, bringing fresh yet profound visual expression to traditional subjects.

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 )
