Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Neo-Gothic dark aesthetics, Surrealism, and Modern Digital Neo-Romanticism. It belongs to these style categories because of its dramatic contrasts, mysterious atmosphere, blurred boundaries between dreamlike and realistic elements, and its emotionally resonant modern sensibility.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this style include striking color contrasts—particularly coral reds and teal-greens against dark backgrounds creating powerful visual impact. The textures are rich, combining smoky, ethereal effects with detailed precision. The dramatic use of light creates a dreamlike yet mysterious atmosphere. What makes this style particularly impressive is how it balances tension between darkness and light, cool and warm tones, creating a visual experience that feels both melancholic and beautiful.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

Mystical atmosphere: Enhances the supernatural and spiritual elements in the imagery, strengthening the sense of mystery and depth
Coral red accents: Using this keyword reinforces those warm highlights that pop against dark backgrounds, increasing visual tension
Ethereal smoke: Adding this element creates more layers of haziness, improving the dreamlike quality and sense of space

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for music album cover designs, modern gothic fashion photography, fantasy or sci-fi story illustrations, high-end perfume or cosmetic advertisements, atmospheric video game environment design, and any context requiring a deep, emotionally resonant visual experience.

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.
