Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of retro sci-fi illustration with modern illustrative art. It evokes the style of science fiction magazine covers and movie posters from the 1970s-80s, while incorporating the refinement and light treatment of contemporary digital art. The style has strong retrofuturist qualities, reinterpreting nostalgic visual language through modern techniques.

Style Characteristics

These images feature a vibrant and saturated color palette, often dominated by dreamy pinks, teal greens, and warm oranges. The visuals present a soft, luminous quality with smooth, detailed linework and dramatic, dreamlike lighting effects. The overall aesthetic creates an atmosphere that exists between reality and fantasy, feeling both nostalgic and futuristic. What makes this style impressive is its balance between delicate detail work and bold artistic composition, resulting in images that are both striking and elegant.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Hand-painted illustration style: Enhances the manual artistic quality of the work and reduces AI-generated traces, adding warmth and texture to the pieces
  • Glossy rendering: Amplifies the light effects and luminous qualities in the images, making colors more saturated and captivating, and creating a dreamlike atmosphere
  • Retro color scheme: Introduces more 70s-80s era color palettes to strengthen the nostalgic feel while maintaining modern clarity and detail

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for science fiction or fantasy book cover designs, movie posters, music album covers, indie game art, and brand illustrations that need to combine retro sensibilities with modern aesthetics. It's also excellent for depicting surreal or dreamlike content, such as concept art, character design, or engaging advertising visuals that need to capture attention.

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
