Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of woodcut printing, blueprinting (cyanotype), and minimalist illustration. It exhibits the texture of woodblock prints with bold, powerful lines; adopts the blue monochromatic palette reminiscent of blueprint techniques; and incorporates modern minimalist illustration's composition and narrative approach. It belongs to these categories due to its strong contrast between light and dark, limited color range, and the textured appearance that suggests handcrafted processes.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics include a deep blue background contrasting with white/cream foreground elements, rustic yet expressive linework, and textures that appear hand-carved. The images convey a vintage nostalgic atmosphere while incorporating modern aesthetics. This style is impressive because it's simple yet powerful, creating rich emotional and narrative depth through limited colors, while the weathered and worn textures add artistic depth to the work.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Woodcut Print: Adding this term can enhance the hand-carved texture in the images, making the lines bolder and more powerful, elevating the handcrafted artistic feel
  • Cyanotype Style: Using this word can reinforce the blue monochromatic effect in the artwork, adding a nostalgic and dreamlike atmosphere
  • Distressed Texture: Adding this element improves the overall vintage quality and storytelling aspects, making the work appear more authentic and historically grounded

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for literary book illustrations, indie game art, poetry collection or album covers, nostalgic themed posters, book covers, decorative art for cafes or artistic venues, and brand identities or packaging designs seeking a unique artistic feel. It adds artistic value to creations that need to express deep emotions, dreamlike qualities, or philosophical content.

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
