Art Style Type

This SREF style primarily blends traditional Chinese ink painting, neo-Chinese design, and modern graphic design elements. The images present elegant Eastern aesthetics, but through modernized composition and expression techniques that breathe new life into traditional elements. This style preserves the charm and artistic conception of traditional Chinese art while incorporating contemporary design's simplicity and grandeur, forming a "New Oriental Aesthetic."

Style Characteristics

The common style characteristics of these images include subdued color palettes, compositions that blend the tangible with the intangible, and a strong sense of Eastern artistic conception. The backgrounds typically feature beige or light gray tones, paired with ink calligraphy and soft-colored landscapes, creating an ethereal and distant feeling. Ink elements merge perfectly with modern design language while maintaining the negative space aesthetics of traditional Chinese painting. The images convey both magnificent breadth and delicate, refined textures. Most impressive is how each work feels like a poem, moving the viewer through mood and atmosphere rather than realism.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Ink atmosphere: Enhances the traditional Eastern flavor of the work, bringing flowing brush strokes and ink diffusion effects
  • Negative space composition: Strengthens the breathing room and spatial sense of the image, allowing more room for visual elements to inspire imagination
  • Light and shadow gradients: Adds soft light variations that increase the depth and layering of the image, better integrating traditional elements with modern design language

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for visual design of high-end cultural products, such as literary work covers, poetry collection illustrations, traditional cultural exhibition posters, boutique hotel branding, premium tea packaging, Chinese-style game UI design, and any scenario needing to express Eastern aesthetics and cultural depth. This style is also excellent for creating artwork that expresses harmony between the mind and nature.

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
