Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of cyberpunk, neo-noir, and Japanese anime. It incorporates cyberpunk's futuristic urban aesthetics and intense neon contrasts, neo-noir's dark atmosphere and dramatic lighting, and Japanese anime's sharp lines and exaggerated expressiveness. This hybrid style is popular in contemporary digital art and sci-fi visuals because it combines nostalgic elements with cutting-edge futurism.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include strong contrasts between red and blue neon tones, creating a tense and dramatic atmosphere. The images feature high contrast with deep shadows against bright light sources. Lines are sharp and powerful, with clear character silhouettes and refined detail work. The overall presentation achieves a rugged yet sophisticated aesthetic. What makes this style impressive is how it uses color and lighting to create a visual experience that feels both cold and emotionally rich simultaneously.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Neon lighting: Enhances the futuristic cyberpunk feel, strengthens the red-blue contrast atmosphere, and adds more visual impact to the images
  • Bold linework: Reinforces the anime-style expressiveness, enhances the definition of characters and scenes, making the visuals more bold and distinct
  • Night cityscape: Provides an ideal background environment, strengthens the cyberpunk atmosphere, and gives characters a thematically appropriate context

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for concept design for sci-fi animations or films, cyberpunk-themed game art, music album covers, anime posters, sci-fi novel illustrations, and any visual work that needs to express futurism and urban darkness. It's also excellent for depicting characters and scenes in dystopian narratives.

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
