Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Neo-noir aesthetics with Impressionism. The dark tones accented with vivid red highlights resemble the visual style of films like "Sin City" or "Blade Runner." The brushstroke effects evoke Impressionism but are expressed through a modern digital approach, creating a hybrid "digital impressionist noir" style.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of these images is the strong contrast between light and shadow with selective red accents, creating drama and mystery. The blurry brushstroke effects contrasted with sharp contours create an atmosphere that exists between reality and fantasy. The image surfaces appear distorted as if viewed through rain or glass, adding a layer of abstraction and emotional expression. This style is impressive because it successfully infuses darkness with emotion and drama while maintaining artistic blurriness and abstraction.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

Raindrop glass effect: Enhances surface texture and strengthens the melancholic and solitary atmospheric mood
High-contrast lighting: Further sculpts dramatic tension and mystery, making character silhouettes more prominent
Selective coloration: Incorporates more red or other vibrant color accents within the predominantly dark palette to create visual focal points

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for suspense movie posters, crime fiction book covers, dark fantasy game art, fashion photography, music album covers, and any visual creation that needs to convey mystery, drama, or emotional atmosphere. It effectively communicates tension, inner struggle, and emotional depth.

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.
