Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Neo-expressionism and Grotesque art, with distinct illustrative qualities. It carries the rebellious spirit of urban graffiti art while incorporating retro-futuristic imagination. The style expresses emotions and ideas through exaggerated, distorted figures and objects with bold color contrasts – core characteristics of expressionism – while its grotesque elements come from the distortion and reconfiguration of reality.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent features of this style are the intense color contrasts and bold linework. Images display striking color divisions, particularly oranges and reds against deep greens and blue-blacks creating hot-cold contrasts. The lines are rough and powerful with a hand-drawn quality that seems to capture the artist's emotional flow. Characters and objects undergo exaggerated distortion, giving them a strange yet vivid feeling. The overall image has strong texture and layering, giving the artwork depth and expressiveness. What's impressive is how it conveys powerful emotional impact through unreality.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Distorted perspective: Adding this element can further enhance the surreal feel of the image, making spatial structures more dramatic
  • Textural details: Using this can increase the complexity and material feel of the image, adding visual layers and tactile quality
  • Contrast lighting: Pairing with this word can intensify the dramatic atmosphere, making objects and characters more three-dimensional and emotional expressions more profound

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for indie game character design, alternative music album covers, youth culture-themed posters, sci-fi or bizarre-themed book illustrations, and independent animation projects. It appeals to young audiences seeking unique visual experiences and is ideal for creative projects expressing complex emotions or social commentary.

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
