Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Pop Art, Expressionism, and Vintage Comic aesthetics. It features the bold colors and flatness of Pop Art, the intense emotions and exaggerated distortions of Expressionism, and the line work and dramatic qualities of mid-20th century comics. This mixture creates images that feel both modern and nostalgic while maintaining a distinctive artistic sensibility.

Style Characteristics

The most striking characteristic of this style is its bold yet limited color palette, primarily using vibrant reds, yellows, greens, and blues with strong contrasts. The lines are rough and powerful with clear outlines, giving a hand-drawn feel. The texture resembles oil pastels or chalk on paper, with a grainy quality and uneven color fills. The dramatic lighting creates strong atmosphere, while compositions are simplified yet impactful. This style is impressive because it combines nostalgia with modern unease, feeling both familiar and alien.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Rough linework: Adding this word can enhance the hand-drawn quality and expressiveness, making outlines more pronounced and powerful
  • Vintage print: Using this term can simulate the imperfections and grain of old-style printing, adding age and texture to the work
  • Neon palette: Adding this element intensifies the vividness and contrast of colors, elevating the overall visual impact and emotional expression

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for independent music album covers, alternative comics and graphic novels, horror or sci-fi poster designs, streetwear fashion graphics, nightclub and music festival promotional materials, and any creative project requiring strong visual impact and distinctive atmosphere. It would appeal to younger audiences seeking non-mainstream visual experiences.

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
