Style Summary

The style set combines a folk-art technique with sci-fi themes, leading to an interesting, and playful, mash-up style. By combining relatively simple shapes with fantastical creatures and settings, the artwork conveys a sense of wonder and humor.

Style Analysis

Color: With a generally muted palette, the artwork combines reds with greens, and emphasizes a retro sci-fi feel, often invoking a sense of wonder and curiosity. There is a clear emphasis on older sci-fi styles. Color is bold and purposeful, allowing the forms to define most of the images.
Lighting: Simple and direct, and used to add to the images.
Design Technique: The core concept here is to combine disparate elements, the use of older art styles, folk-art shapes, and simpler lines with sci-fi themes. This juxtaposition creates a sense of magic. The simple approach to composition conveys a sense of a child's book or illustration, to which sci-fi is added. The style allows a narrative to emerge, with its quirky, strange, fun, and folky design sensibility. The styles convey a sense of retro-sci-fi, folk art designs, child-book aesthetic.

Application Scenarios

Concept Art for Films, Video Games, or Other Media that Require a Sense of Surrealism, Elegance, and Mystery: The styles can be used to inspire the visual language of projects that explore themes of dreams, the subconscious, or the darker aspects of human nature. Imagine films with a dreamlike atmosphere, where the characters inhabit surreal landscapes and their emotions are reflected in the visual style.

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.
