Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of surrealism and realism with cinematic visual qualities. It showcases characteristics similar to the work of digital painting masters like Craig Mullins and Simon Stålenhag. What makes this style special is how it combines meticulous realistic techniques with bold color choices and dramatic lighting to create visuals that are both believable and beyond reality.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include supersaturated color palettes, dramatic light and shadow contrasts, intricate texture rendering, and powerful emotional atmosphere. Each image displays exquisite attention to detail while maintaining a dreamlike quality. This style is impressive because it achieves a high level of realism while simultaneously creating a fantastical quality that transcends reality, resulting in strong visual impact and emotional resonance with viewers.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic lighting: Pairing with this word enhances the layering of light and shadow in images, bringing a more dramatic and immersive visual experience
  • Hyperdetailed rendering: Using this word reinforces texture representation in the work, making each element come alive as if it were tangible
  • Emotional color palette: Adding this element improves the overall atmosphere-building capability, enhancing viewer emotional response through color psychology

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for concept art design, movie posters, premium advertising visuals, science fiction or fantasy-themed illustrations, game promotional art, and visual narrative projects that need to evoke strong emotional atmospheres. It adds unique charm to any scenario requiring visual expression that is both realistic and imaginative.

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
