Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of cyberpunk, biomechanical, and dark gothic aesthetics. It belongs to these style categories because it combines the coldness of futuristic technology, the eerie fusion of mechanical and organic forms, and a gloomy, horror-inspired aesthetic. The strong contrast between light and shadow, unnatural light sources, and distorted structures all reflect the characteristics of this hybrid style.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include extremely detailed texture representation, with almost every surface covered in intricate patterns, cracks, and mechanical structures. The high-contrast lighting creates a dramatic atmosphere, often using bright point light sources (like yellow or orange eyes/lamps) against deep dark backgrounds. The overall color palette is cold, dominated by black, white, and gray, occasionally punctuated by intense light source colors. This style is impressive because it creates a strong sense of unease and surrealism, while displaying an astonishing density of details and textural realism.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Mechanical skeleton: Pairing with this word enhances the fusion of biological and mechanical elements, increasing structural complexity and industrial quality
  • Cracked texture: Using this word reinforces the visual qualities of damage and aging, adding historical depth and apocalyptic atmosphere
  • Volumetric lighting: Adding this element improves the overall layering and mystery through the interaction of smoke and light, creating more dramatic scenes

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for horror game character design, science fiction movie concept art, dark-themed music album covers, post-apocalyptic illustrations, and modern gothic poster design. It's also excellent for visual works depicting mechanical lifeforms, AI alienation, or future wasteland worldviews.

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
