Art Style Type

This SREF style blends dark fantasy, cyberpunk, and retro horror elements. It combines modern horror aesthetics with 80s-90s tech nostalgia, creating an atmosphere that exists between reality and the supernatural. The style evokes works like "Stranger Things" and "Black Mirror," as well as classic horror film visual language, establishing a sense of the familiar yet strange through strong color contrasts and mysterious elements.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of these images is the intense blue and red neon lighting effects that create sharp contrast against dark environments. The overall atmosphere is dim and mysterious, with key elements dramatically illuminated by highly saturated light sources. Spatially, there's a sense of confinement and isolation, while compositions often include outdated technological elements merged with mystical symbols, creating an unsettling sense of temporal displacement. The images intentionally feature slight grain and soft edges, reinforcing the nostalgic mood and dreamlike surrealism.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Neon lighting: Adding this element enhances the mysterious atmosphere, creating stronger visual impact and surrealism
  • Vintage electronics: Using this reinforces nostalgic emotions while serving as a bridge between reality and the supernatural
  • Shadows and mist: Incorporating these elements amplifies the sense of mystery and tension, adding more dimensionality and depth to the scene

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for horror game promotional materials, sci-fi thriller movie posters, synthwave music album covers, mystery-themed party invitations, fantasy novel illustrations, and any visual project requiring a mysterious, nostalgic, and slightly unsettling atmosphere. It effectively evokes collective memories of 80s-90s technology and horror elements while infusing them with modern visual effects.

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
