Art Style Type

This SREF style blends new-generation illustration aesthetics, cyberpunk color palettes, and dreamy pop art. It adopts simplified forms from cartoons and anime but enriches them with gradient coloring and light effects, giving them a more modern, digital presentation. This isn't traditional flat cartoon art, but contemporary digital art with depth and glossiness, reminiscent of high-quality game and animation character designs.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of this style is its vibrant, colorful gradient color schemes and soft glowing effects. Each image bathes in a rainbow-like spectrum of colors that transition from warm to cool tones, creating a dreamy yet energetic atmosphere. The images feature bright saturated colors, soft contour lines, and refined shadow work that gives subjects an almost three-dimensional quality while maintaining cartoon simplicity. Backgrounds are often minimalistic with gradients, further emphasizing the subjects and creating dreamlike environments. The overall style conveys a sense of joy, modernity, and vibrancy.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Neon Gradients: Enhances the flowing sensation of color transitions, making colors more dreamlike and variable, strengthening the cyberpunk atmosphere
  • 3D Cartoon: Elevates the three-dimensional quality of characters and objects while maintaining a cute, simplified cartoon style
  • Dreamy Light Effects: Adds soft glowing elements and light points, enhancing the magical feel and spatial depth of the image

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's game character design, youth-oriented mobile app interfaces, pop music album covers, children's book illustrations, and social media avatars or emojis. Its vibrant and bright qualities also make it perfect for educational content visualization or any design project that needs to capture the attention of younger audiences. This style is also especially appropriate for virtual world and metaverse-related visual designs, as it's both modern and futuristic.

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
