Art Style Type Style Characteristics Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords Recommended Application Scenarios

Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Surrealism, Pop Art, and New Retro aesthetics. It presents a dreamlike distortion of reality while maintaining the vivid color contrasts characteristic of Pop Art. The color treatment has a distinctly vintage feel, but it's revitalized through modern, refined rendering, creating a visual experience where different time periods seem to intersect.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of these images is the strong contrast between yellow and cyan (blue-green) tones, forming a bold yet harmonious color scheme. The images showcase fine textures and hyper-clear details, creating a sense of hyperrealism. Light and shadow are handled smoothly but dramatically, while backgrounds tend to be simple with geometric qualities that make the subjects stand out. The overall atmosphere carries a strange, slightly unsettling beauty, and what's impressive is how it transforms familiar elements into something unfamiliar yet captivating.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

Vintage Film Tones: Enhances the period feel and nostalgic atmosphere while maintaining modern clarity
Complementary Color Composition: Reinforces the existing color contrasts to create even more impactful visual effects
Hyper-detailed Rendering: Elevates the image's precision and textural quality, enhancing the surreal immersion

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fashion photography and advertising, music album cover design, modern art exhibition promotions, independent film posters, and brand visual identity systems that need to be eye-catching with a unique artistic sensibility. It's also excellent for expressing contrasting concepts or emotions, such as traditional versus modern, or familiar versus strange.

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.
