Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of vintage comic book illustration and pop art aesthetics. It inherits the vibrant color schemes and clean line work characteristic of mid-20th century American comics, while incorporating pop art's approach to stylizing everyday scenes. The style particularly embodies "lo-fi aesthetics," using grainy textures and retro color palettes to create a nostalgic yet warm visual experience that captures the innocent charm of classic comic book era.

Style Characteristics

The standout feature of this SREF is its highly saturated color combinations, particularly the bold use of bright yellows, blues, and greens. The imagery displays prominent grainy texture qualities that evoke vintage print materials. Lines are clean yet expressive, with characters and scenes rendered in a highly stylized manner that prioritizes emotional communication over excessive detail. This style is impressive because it instantly evokes nostalgia for better times while maintaining a fresh, modern aesthetic appeal.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • vintage comic book: Pairing with this phrase can further amplify classic comic book characteristics, adding nostalgic atmosphere and authentic American illustration texture
  • bold colors: Using this keyword can magnify the visual impact of vibrant colors in the artwork, making images more emotionally engaging and dynamic
  • grainy texture: Adding this element enhances the handcrafted quality and retro printing effects, boosting overall artistic expression and authenticity

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for brand packaging design (especially for food, beverages, and consumer goods), retro-themed posters, children's book illustrations, social media content creation, and game UI interface design. For projects requiring warm, friendly, and nostalgic emotional communication, this style effectively captures audience attention and establishes emotional connections.

More Prompt Tips & Tricks


You can explore further by combining the following prompt command for MidJourney:

  • --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
