Art Style Type

These images showcase a distinctive neo-vintage illustration style that combines minimalist line art with retro comic elements. The style merges hand-drawn aesthetics with modern design simplicity, reminiscent of 1950s-60s sci-fi illustrations mixed with contemporary independent comics.

Style Characteristics

The artwork features soft color palettes and refined linework, creating a gentle and poetic atmosphere. The unified blue-grey tones and delicate texture treatment add a nostalgic yet dreamlike quality. The lines are fluid yet restrained, with precise but not overly complex detail work.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • vintage illustration: Enhances the retro hand-drawn effect and period feel
  • minimalist linework: Emphasizes clean, simple line style
  • muted color palette: Strengthens the soft, unified color scheme

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly well-suited for literary book covers, independent magazine illustrations, concept art posters, and narrative illustrations that aim to convey warm, nostalgic emotions.

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
