Art Style Type

This SREF style blends Gothic horror, dark romanticism, and surrealism. It evokes the aesthetics of films like "Hellraiser" or the "Alien" series, creating stark contrasts between beauty and horror, vulnerability and the terrifying. This style achieves a "beautiful horror" effect through strong shadows, high contrast, and an unsettling atmosphere.

Style Characteristics

These images feature dramatic lighting with subjects sharply contrasted against deep dark backgrounds. The color palette leans heavily toward dark tones with occasional splashes of vivid red creating visual impact. Each image contains elements of discomfort, surrealism, or body horror while maintaining a strange beauty. Textural details are extremely fine, rendering skin, metal, and other materials with an unsettlingly exquisite quality.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

Gothic Dark: Enhances the brooding atmosphere, adding mysterious and historically weighted Gothic elements
Biomechanical Fusion: Strengthens the contrast and integration between human body and machinery, organic and inorganic
Low Saturation High Contrast: Further emphasizes black and white contrast while preserving small amounts of saturated color as visual focal points

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for horror movie posters, dark-themed music album covers, avant-garde fashion photography, horror game concept art, and art installations exploring body horror or surrealist themes. It evokes strong emotional responses and is ideal for visual expressions that need to be memorable and slightly unsettling.

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 )
