Art Style Type

This SREF style blends cinematic realism with dramatic lighting techniques. It combines elements of sci-fi visual aesthetics and high dynamic range (HDR) photography, creating a "hyper-real cinematic feel." The style resembles visual effects from high-budget films or AAA games, using sophisticated light manipulation and color contrasts to create dramatic atmospheres.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent feature of this style is its dramatic lighting and intense color contrasts. Each image has a distinct color palette (orange-red or cool blue tones) with strong light sources that create depth and tension. The images have an ultra-high-definition quality with rich details while maintaining a dreamlike atmosphere. The effect of light penetrating dust or fog is particularly impressive, giving the scenes a cinematic, epic quality.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

Cinematic rendering: Enhances the overall film-like quality and professional finish, making images look more like scenes captured from big-budget movies
Volumetric lighting: Strengthens the visible effect of light in air, creating more mysterious and layered atmospheres
High dynamic range: Improves detail representation in both bright and dark areas, enhancing overall dramatic contrast and sense of depth

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi or fantasy movie posters, game cover art, visual novel scenes, music album covers, and any visual media requiring dramatic atmosphere and emotional intensity. It's also excellent for depicting apocalyptic scenes, epic battles, mysterious encounters, or emotional portraits.

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 )
