Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Japanese manga, cyberpunk, and 80s-90s retro animation. It shows clear influences from Japanese illustrators like Taiyo Matsumoto and Satoshi Kon through its vibrant contrasting colors, dreamlike surreal scenes, and detailed linework. This style could be described as a variant of "new retro wave" or "vaporwave aesthetics," combining nostalgic elements with futurism to create visual experiences that feel both familiar and alien.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics include strong color contrasts (especially heavy use of pink and purple), detailed line art, and a surreal atmosphere that balances between dreamy and horrific. The images have a distinct flatness while maintaining rich details and textures. Liquid or dripping effects add a fantastical sense of flow. What makes this style impressive is its ability to balance nostalgia with modernity while combining contradictory elements—cute with horrific, soft with sharp—creating powerful emotional contrasts.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Neon lighting effects: Adding this element can enhance the futuristic and cyberpunk atmosphere, improving the luminosity and layering of colors
  • Retro wave textures: Using this can increase the nostalgic feel, providing a quality reminiscent of old televisions or print media, enhancing the overall retro aesthetic
  • Liquid dripping effects: Adding this element improves the surrealistic feel, creating dreamlike and slightly mysterious visual impact

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for music album covers, indie game art, science fiction or horror-themed illustrations, fashion magazine editorial content, visual marketing for trendy clothing brands, and advertising posters requiring unique visual impact. It's also ideal for creative projects aiming to present both nostalgic and cutting-edge aesthetics, especially content targeting younger audiences.

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
