Style Summary

This style set presents a collection of dark, atmospheric, and often epic images characterized by a striking high-contrast color palette pairing deep blues/cyans with intense reds/oranges. Combining elements of fantasy, science fiction, and symbolic imagery, the styles evoke feelings of mystery, immense power, otherworldly dread, or fragile beauty against a backdrop of desolation or decay.

Style Analysis

Color: The palette is strictly defined by the dramatic interplay between cool, deep blues/cyans and hot, glowing reds/oranges. This creates immediate visual tension, suggests conflict or opposing forces, and imbues the scenes with a powerful, non-naturalistic atmosphere. Black is used for deep shadows and grounding.
Lighting: Highly dramatic and atmospheric, often appearing to emanate from within objects (glowing rocks, panther's eyes, internal structures) or from imposing celestial bodies (red moon). Strong highlights and deep, pooling shadows sculpt the forms and enhance the sense of scale, mystery, and often, menace. It feels cinematic and intentionally moody.
Design Technique: Blends techniques suggesting digital painting, 3D rendering, and photomanipulation. Focuses on subjects implying vast scale (world tree, domed structure), potent symbolism (floating rocks, butterflies emerging from tech/dust), or powerful, often augmented beings (mechanized panther). Textures suggest ancient stone, worn metal, energy fields, or digital noise. Compositions emphasize grandeur, isolation, or confrontational focus.

Application Scenarios

AAA Video Game Concept Art, Key Art, and Cinematics (Dark Fantasy, Sci-Fi Horror, Epic RPG): This style is exceptionally well-suited for defining the visual identity of ambitious game projects. Imagine the world tree scene as concept art for a sprawling open-world RPG's central landmark, the mechanized panther as a terrifying boss encounter in a sci-fi horror game, or the floating rocks as environmental hazards or puzzle elements in a dark fantasy setting. The butterflies could visualize corrupted data or fragile hope in a dystopian narrative, perfect for cinematic cutscenes or promotional trailers aiming for awe and intrigue.

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
