Art Style Type

This SREF style blends post-apocalyptic dark gothic with industrial punk aesthetics. It draws from the religious imagery and emotional tension of gothic art while incorporating the decayed aesthetics and mechanical elements of industrial punk. The weathered textures, dim tones, and religious-like symbolism all evoke a mysterious post-apocalyptic atmosphere, as if narrating spiritual allegories amid the ruins of civilization.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of these images is their strong textural expression and unique atmosphere. All images share a dark background with red splashes that resemble blood stains or rust. Objects display rough, worn, weathered textures, like sculptures eroded by time. The strong contrast between light and shadow creates dramatic visual effects, giving a sense of both sacredness and eeriness. The overall color palette is dark, dominated by black, brown, off-white, and accents of red, forming a heavy yet tension-filled visual experience.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Sculptural quality: Emphasizes the three-dimensionality and material properties of objects, giving works a more artistic sculptural texture and weightiness
  • Ruin aesthetics: Enhances the sense of decay and historical traces in environments, creating a desolate post-apocalyptic atmosphere
  • Religious symbolism: Adds elements with spiritual significance, giving the work deeper meaning and mystique

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for horror game art design, apocalyptic-themed movie posters, alternative music album covers, avant-garde fashion exhibition promotions, experimental theater posters, and any visual creation that needs to express deep, mysterious, or slightly unsettling emotions. It effectively conveys a visual experience that is both artistic and emotionally impactful.

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
