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-Oriental aesthetics with modern digital illustration. It draws from traditional Chinese painting's atmosphere and composition but reinterprets them through modern digital techniques. It belongs to Neo-Orientalism because it preserves the spiritual core of East Asian art (such as color usage and atmospheric expression) while adopting contemporary illustration methods, creating a visual language that is both classical and modern.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of these images include:

  • Rich and harmonious color schemes, especially the contrasting use of blue and red, creating a dreamlike yet dramatic atmosphere
  • Sophisticated light and shadow treatment, particularly in the representation of lanterns and clouds as light sources, giving the images soft and layered luminous effects
  • Delicate textures and decorative details, reflecting careful depiction of East Asian traditional costumes and architectural elements
  • Compositions with strong rhythmic qualities and balance, creating scenes that are both serene and poetic
  • Dreamlike color transitions that give the images a surreal quality, as if from another world

This style is impressive because it successfully bridges modern digital art with traditional East Asian aesthetics, creating a visual experience that is both nostalgic and avant-garde.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Chinese-style illustration: Pairing with this word can strengthen the East Asian cultural elements in the work, adding cultural depth and historical sense
  • Dreamy lighting effects: Using this can further enhance the soft halos and light source treatment in the images, creating a more captivating atmosphere
  • Detailed textures: Adding this element improves the refinement of costumes, architecture, and other elements, making the overall work more exquisite and meticulously crafted

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for illustrations adapting Chinese traditional stories or mythology, promotional posters for historical films or TV series, game art design with Eastern themes, cultural tourism promotional materials, fantasy novel covers with Oriental aesthetics, and packaging design for high-end Chinese cultural products.

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 )
