Art Style Type

This SREF style blends Gothic dark illustration with Japanese anime aesthetics. It incorporates the mysterious atmosphere common in Gothic literature with the clean linework of Japanese manga, while also integrating modern fantasy elements. The style uses high-contrast color schemes and detailed lines to create dramatic effects, combining the depth of Western Gothic art with the refinement of Japanese illustration.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent feature of this style is the strong red and black color contrast, creating a mysterious and dramatic atmosphere. The lines are fluid yet precise, delineating intricate details and textures. The overall composition has a flat, graphic quality while maintaining spatial depth through subtle shading. Character designs merge Gothic aesthetics with fantasy elements, presenting an elegance tinged with the uncanny. Particularly impressive is the balance between traditional illustration and modern sensibilities, and the clever use of red as a visual focal point.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dark Crimson Shadows: Pairing with this word enhances the transition between deep reds and blacks, making the atmosphere more mysterious and immersive
  • Delicate Linework: Using this word reinforces the precisely delineated visual quality, elevating the refined feel of characters and elements
  • Moonlit Atmosphere: Adding this element improves the overall sense of mystery, introducing a supernatural soft light source to the composition

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for dark fantasy game character design, mysterious themed book cover illustrations, Gothic-style tarot card design, and fantasy adventure comic creation. It also works excellently for Halloween-themed visual content, dark fairy tale adaptation visuals, and brand identity design that aims to convey a sense of mystery.

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
