Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Art Deco, ethnic totem art, and modern illustration. The intricate geometric patterns and strong symmetry strongly echo characteristics of Art Deco, while the rich ethnic elements and mystical coloration derive from traditional totem art traditions. The influence of modern illustration is evident in the flat treatment and contemporary visual storytelling approaches.

Style Characteristics

The most distinctive feature of this style is the use of numerous complex yet rhythmic geometric patterns as decorative elements, with a harmonious color palette dominated by blues, oranges, and turquoise that creates a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. The layering of patterns and fine linework creates rich visual textures while maintaining an overall sense of unity. Every element is imbued with decorative patterns, making the image both narrative and artistically powerful. What makes this style impressive is how it perfectly combines complex decorative elements with deep cultural undertones, with every detail meticulously designed.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Mystical Totems: Including this term can strengthen the mysterious cultural symbolic elements in the work, adding more patterns with symbolic significance
  • Jewel Tones: Using this can further enrich and intensify the deep, layered contrast between blues and oranges in the image
  • Intricate Textures: Adding this element makes the patterns more delicate and complex, enhancing the overall visual richness and craftsmanship

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fantasy book illustrations, mythological or fantasy game character designs, premium brand limited edition product packaging, mystical-themed album covers, cultural exhibition promotional posters, and any context requiring a blend of deep cultural heritage with modern design sensibility.

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
