Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of dark realism with impressionism, while carrying a hint of cyberpunk atmosphere. It employs a minimalist color treatment, using deep tones as a foundation, complemented by high-contrast light and shadow effects to create a profound and poetic visual expression. The style is characterized by limited colors and blurred boundaries that evoke a sense of mystery, resembling a form of "emotional realism" that emphasizes conveying feelings rather than precisely depicting details.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent feature of these images is the strong contrast between light and dark, with a limited color palette dominated by deep blue and black, accented with small amounts of bright highlights. The images display a rough, abstract brush-stroke effect with blurred contours and a certain "digital noise," appearing like dream fragments emerging from darkness. This style is impressive because it successfully infuses strong emotional tension into minimalist expression, creating an atmosphere that exists between reality and fantasy, offering viewers a profound and mysterious aesthetic experience.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dark Watercolor: Enhances the fluidity and gradient effects of the image, creating a more dreamlike and soft texture
  • Digital Noise: Adds textural depth to the image, creating a unique visual effect that bridges digital and traditional media
  • Single Light Source: Emphasizes the subject, enhances the dramatic and mysterious quality, giving the image a more cinematic visual impact

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for horror or sci-fi game concept designs, mysterious book covers, independent film posters, immersive experience visual designs, and artistic illustrations expressing inner worlds or abstract concepts. It's also excellent for creating melancholic, mysterious, or surreal atmospheres, especially for visual expressions that need to convey strong emotions with limited information.

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
