Art Style Type

This SREF style blends dark fantasy, cinematic realism, and gothic aesthetic elements. It combines the quality of modern visual effects films with classical fantasy and gothic horror artistic expressions. The images maintain a surrealistic distortion while preserving highly realistic textures and details, creating a unique tension between reality and fantasy.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent characteristic of this style is its strong emotional atmosphere and dramatic lighting contrasts. The images present a juxtaposition of cool blue tones against warm reds, creating a mysterious and tense atmosphere. Material rendering is extremely detailed, with fine textural layers in skin, metal, and fabric. The lighting has a distinctly cinematic quality, often using side lighting and backlighting to highlight silhouettes, enhancing mystery and drama. The overall style gives an immersive feeling while simultaneously conveying a dreamlike quality that transcends reality.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic lighting: Adding this keyword enhances the layered light sources and atmosphere in the work, making the image more filmic and professionally polished
  • Hyper-detailed textures: Using this reinforces the fine details in skin, clothing, and environmental surfaces, making the image more realistic and tactile
  • Gothic atmosphere: Adding this element enhances the overall sense of mystery and drama, strengthening the emotional tension and visual impact

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for dark fantasy movie posters, horror game character design, mythological illustrations, heavy metal album covers, gothic fashion photography concepts, and visual design for immersive virtual reality experiences. It provides unique artistic expression for any creation requiring strong emotional atmosphere and dramatic visual effects.

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
