Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of cyberpunk, dark gothic, and neon futurism. It presents a strong dystopian aesthetic through high-contrast neon colors against dark backgrounds, creating a visual experience that feels both futuristic and slightly horrific. This style evokes the visual worlds of works like "Blade Runner" and "Ghost in the Shell," but with added elements of darkness and surrealism.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristic of this style is the striking contrast between bright pink and cyan neon lights against predominantly dark backgrounds. The lighting is dramatically theatrical, creating a mysterious and slightly unsettling atmosphere. Details are rich and textures are pronounced, with subjects—whether human figures, objects, or natural landscapes—presented with a surreal quality. This style is impressive because it successfully combines futuristic technological elements with mysterious, dark emotions, creating a visual experience that feels both familiar and alien.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dark Surrealism: Enhances the mysterious quality and surreal atmosphere, adding more dramatic depth to the works
  • Biomechanical: Strengthens the fusion between artificial and natural elements, adding unique futuristic and organic textures
  • Misty Atmosphere: Adds diffused fog effects that enhance the dreamlike quality and spatial layering, making neon colors appear more diffused and soft

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi horror game concept design, music album covers, electronic music party posters, dystopian-themed illustrations, fashion photography, and visual marketing for nightclubs and bars. It effectively conveys avant-garde, mysterious, and slightly unsettling emotions, making it perfect for creative projects that aim to create strong visual impact while exploring the darker side of the future.

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
