Art Style Type

This SREF style blends neo-gothic dark illustration, anime aesthetics, and modern cyberpunk elements. It features strong contrasting colors and emotionally expressive techniques similar to contemporary dark anime illustration, while also carrying a certain rawness reminiscent of street art. The style sits between traditional Japanese illustration and modern Western comics, using exaggerated imagery and bold color contrasts to create powerful visual impact.

Style Characteristics

The most striking characteristic of this style is its impactful color contrast, especially the combination of orange-red with deep black, creating an atmosphere that is both intense and somber. The linework features both fluid curves and sharp edges, embodying a unique mixed aesthetic. Backgrounds are often monochromatic or simplified, making character figures stand out more prominently. The overall style carries a "sweet horror" feeling, organically merging cute and terrifying elements. What makes it particularly impressive is its ability to showcase dramatically different emotional atmospheres within the same artwork.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Neon lighting effects: Adding this element can enhance the modern feel and urban atmosphere of the work, making colors more vibrant and dynamic
  • Ink wash texture: Incorporating ink wash effects can add a touch of Eastern aesthetic flavor, giving the image more depth and layering
  • Gap moe: Strengthening the contrast between scary and adorable character traits can achieve a more interesting balance between horror and cuteness

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for horror game artwork, alternative music album covers, youth fashion patterns, independent comic creation, and Halloween-themed illustrations. It's also excellent for depicting characters with dual personalities or internal conflicts, appealing to young audiences seeking personalized 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
