Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of cinematic visual storytelling and modern digital art. It combines the dramatic qualities of film photography with fantastical realism, creating a visual experience that exists between reality and fantasy. Through strong emotional expression and sophisticated light treatment, it achieves a quality reminiscent of Hollywood blockbusters or high-end game trailers, while maintaining a distinctive artistic identity.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this SREF are dramatically contrasting light and shadow, with almost every image utilizing backlighting or side lighting to create strong silhouettes and a sense of mystery. The color treatment favors a skillful balance between cool and warm tones, with a particularly striking combination of blue hues and gold accents. Images typically present a cinematic, polished quality with rich details and clear textures, while maintaining a slightly surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. What makes this style impressive is its creation of strong emotional tension and visual impact that makes viewers feel as if they're immersed in a spectacular, meticulously crafted world.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic lighting: Pairing with this word enhances the dramatic light effects in the image, adding depth and emotional expressiveness to scenes
  • Epic atmosphere: Using this word reinforces the grandeur and theatrical nature of the compositions, infusing works with stronger emotions and narrative quality
  • Ultra-detailed: Adding this element improves the overall texture and realism, enriching microscopic details from fabric textures to light refraction

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for movie poster design, game promotional art, fantasy or sci-fi book covers, music album artwork, high-end brand advertising, and any visual work requiring strong emotional impact and dramatic atmosphere. It's also excellent for character concept design and narrative scene illustrations, capable of immediately capturing audience attention and conveying profound emotions and storytelling.

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
