Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of illustration art, anime aesthetics, and concept art. It shows influences from Japanese animated films (particularly Studio Ghibli) combined with qualities of modern illustration. This style belongs to these categories because it simultaneously possesses a fairy-tale fantasy feeling and refined hand-drawn textures, while maintaining the precision and light treatment of modern digital art.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this SREF include soft yet rich color palettes, delicate texture rendering, character designs that sit between realistic and cartoonish, and a warm atmosphere with slight melancholy. Particularly impressive is the light and shadow treatment—light appears soft and layered, adding emotional depth and narrative quality to the scenes. Each scene has a unique storytelling feel, as if it's a still frame from a larger narrative.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Warm lighting: Adding this element can enhance the cozy, nostalgic atmosphere in the image, making scenes more emotionally resonant
  • Detailed textures: Using this keyword can enhance the tactile and material qualities in the image, making it richer and more realistic
  • Narrative composition: Pairing with this prompt can strengthen the storytelling aspect of scenes, making each image feel like it's telling part of a larger story

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, indie game character design, animated film concept art, fantasy-themed illustrations, and visual storytelling of emotional narratives. It works well for expressing warm, mysterious, or slightly melancholic story atmospheres, and is especially appropriate for projects that need to evoke nostalgia or fairy-tale sensibilities.

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
