Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of dark gothic, ink art, and cyberpunk aesthetics. It exhibits clear neo-expressionist qualities, using distortion and abstract forms to emphasize emotional expression while retaining the elegant lines and negative space characteristic of Eastern aesthetics. The style appears to draw inspiration from traditional Japanese ukiyo-e and modern sci-fi illustration, but presents them in a more fragmented and experimental manner.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of these images is the strong color contrast, primarily using a palette of red, black, and blue to create dramatic visual impact. The brushstrokes appear both spontaneous and deliberate, like a fusion of digital ink painting and abstract expressionism. Sharp geometric shapes often coexist with soft ink diffusion, creating a unique tension. Backgrounds are typically blurred or abstract, making the character figures more prominent while adding mystery and emotional depth. The overall style gives an impression of elegance with fragmentation—simultaneously modern yet possessing a certain classical quality.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Abstract Ink: Enhances the flowing quality in the artwork, increases the Eastern artistic flavor while maintaining a contemporary feel
  • Fragmented Geometry: Adds more sharp lines and shapes, enhancing the dynamic quality and tense atmosphere of the image
  • High-Contrast Dark Tones: Further intensifies the light-dark contrast, making the image more dramatic with greater depth, highlighting emotional expression

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for dark fantasy game character design, sci-fi novel cover illustrations, avant-garde music album covers, experimental animation character design, and fashion photography posters with gothic or cyberpunk themes. It works well for expressing complex inner emotions and mysterious atmospheres, and is also ideal for visual works depicting dystopian 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
