Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of illustrative art, sketch printmaking, and Japanese illustration. It presents a texture similar to handmade prints or stamps, with distinct vintage illustration characteristics. The style carries the warmth of fairy tale book illustrations while incorporating aspects of Japanese manga and indie game art, creating a unique hand-drawn quality with a nostalgic atmosphere.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of these images are textured, rough lines and stippled shading that create a handcrafted print feel. The color palette primarily features a beige background with black and occasional accent colors (like orange), giving a warm, nostalgic impression. The images have a slight grain and irregular ink effects, resembling rubber stamp or woodcut print techniques. Compositions are simple yet expressive, with bold but precise lines, presenting a unique handcrafted artistic charm.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Woodcut style: Increases woodcut textures and cut marks, enhancing the handcrafted artistic texture and depth
  • Vintage fairytale: Introduces more fairy tale elements and narrative scenes, strengthening storytelling aspects and emotional resonance
  • Japanese illustration: Incorporates more Japanese aesthetic elements, elevating the work's refinement and cultural character

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, indie game art, literary café posters, handcraft product packaging, cultural creative product illustrations, and any visual design scenario requiring warmth, nostalgia, and a handmade feel. It's also excellent for creating story-driven social media illustration content or personalized greeting cards.

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
