Art Style Type

This SREF style blends neo-expressionism with modern illustrative art, featuring distinct digital painting characteristics. It presents a semi-realistic yet dreamlike visual effect, using exaggerated color contrasts and simplified forms to express emotion, while maintaining sufficient detail to make the images look professional and refined. This style sits between serious art and commercial illustration, offering both artistic merit and visual appeal.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent feature of this style is the bold and vibrant use of color, with each image having a strong color theme that creates dramatic contrasts. The brushwork appears clean and crisp yet maintains a hand-painted quality, combining the precision of digital tools with personal artistic expression. The light and shadow treatment is particularly excellent, creating dramatic atmosphere and volume through contrast. The overall composition is clean and powerful, emphasizing emotional expression and mood, making a strong impression.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Vibrant colors: Using this keyword can further enhance the high-saturation color contrasts in the image, making the work more lively and dynamic
  • Dramatic lighting: Adding this element can enhance the depth and atmosphere of the image, creating visual effects with more emotional impact
  • Simplified details: Adopting this approach can keep the image clean and crisp while highlighting theme and emotional expression

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for emotionally rich narrative illustrations, such as book covers, music album cover art, and game character design. It also works exceptionally well for attention-grabbing commercial advertisements, fashion magazine illustrations, and story-based content that needs to establish a specific mood. This style excels at portraying scenes or emotions with strong contrasts and is ideal for any design project that needs to connect with audiences through color and emotion.

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
