Art Style Type
This SREF style blends Neo-Retro illustration, Japanese manga, and American comic elements to create a distinctive "Neo-Retro Pop Art" aesthetic. It adopts the simplified linework and stark contrasts of vintage posters but breathes new life into them through modern illustration techniques. The style resembles a fusion of modern tattoo art with Japanese ukiyo-e, enhanced with anime and comic expressiveness.
Style Characteristics
The most prominent feature of this style is the use of clean, crisp linework paired with a limited but high-contrast color palette (primarily red, black, and cream tones). Compositions are bold and dramatic with simplified backgrounds that make the main figures stand out. The line style remains consistent and fluid throughout, giving a sense of deliberate design rather than spontaneous creation. Another striking characteristic is the vintage paper-like background treatment that adds nostalgia while maintaining modern sharpness.
