Art Style Type

This SREF style blends post-apocalyptic, sci-fi horror, and industrial punk elements. It adopts a cinematic visual language similar to the aesthetics found in works like "Horizon Zero Dawn" or "Death Stranding." The style combines futuristic technology with a somber atmosphere, creating a sense of end-times and mystique through strong light-shadow contrasts and fog effects.

Style Characteristics

The shared style characteristics include desaturated cool color palettes, strong contrast between light and dark, pervasive fog or dust effects, and dramatic use of ambient lighting. The images present a grainy texture and rough finish, with compositions that emphasize the opposition between subject and environment. The treatment of light sources is particularly noteworthy, with halos, backlighting, and ring-shaped light effects used to create tension and a supernatural atmosphere, making it truly impressive.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Atmospheric lighting: Adding this keyword can enhance the light source effects in the image, making the light more mysterious and dramatic, strengthening the overall atmosphere
  • Misty haze: Using this word can amplify the fog effects in the environment, creating a stronger sense of mystery and depth layers
  • Wasteland ruins: Adding this element can reinforce the post-apocalyptic style of the image, enhancing the sense of desolation and the tense atmosphere of survival crisis

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for concept designs for sci-fi horror games, post-apocalyptic themed movie posters, dark fantasy novel covers, key frames for sci-fi short films, and any visual creation that needs to convey tension, mystery, or a future wasteland atmosphere. It's also very appropriate for works that express themes of human versus technology, or biological entities versus environment conflicts.

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
