Art Style Type

This SREF style blends storybook illustration with modern cartoon aesthetics, featuring a distinct indie game art approach. It combines the warmth of hand-drawn art with the precision of digital illustration, creating an imaginative visual language. The style evokes the dreamlike quality of Studio Ghibli works while incorporating more contemporary, playful illustration elements, resulting in a look that balances fairy tale warmth with modern design sensibilities.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics include vibrant yet harmonious color palettes with warm tones and moderate saturation; simplified but expressive character designs with large eyes and exaggerated facial features that enhance emotional expression; richly detailed yet uncluttered environments with clear visual hierarchy; and soft lighting effects that create a dreamy, cozy atmosphere. This style is impressive because it successfully balances contrasts between cute and mysterious, minimal and rich, making the images both approachable and full of wonder.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Fairytale illustration style: Pairing with this phrase enhances the narrative quality and dreamlike nature of the work, making scenes more story-driven and imaginative
  • Subtle texture: Using this term can add depth and warmth to the images, giving digital art more of a handcrafted feel and tactile quality
  • Soft lighting: Adding this element improves the atmospheric quality and emotional expression, creating a more immersive visual experience with greater emotional depth

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, indie game visual design, animated short film character design, children's product packaging, and any context requiring warm, imaginative visuals that aren't overly realistic. It excels at conveying storytelling and emotion while maintaining visual clarity and appeal.

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
