Art Style Type

This SREF style blends anime illustration with digital watercolor art, incorporating some decorative elements reminiscent of Art Nouveau. It presents an aesthetic somewhere between Japanese anime and modern digital art, using strong color contrasts and fluid lines to create expressive images. This style falls into these categories because it retains the clean lines and exaggerated expressions of anime while adopting the textures and color gradients of digital watercolor techniques.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include: vibrant color splashes and watercolor diffusion effects; bright and high-contrast color schemes (particularly combinations of blue, yellow, and orange); clean and flowing linework; backgrounds that use splash and spray techniques to create movement; semi-transparent layering; and a balance between detail and overall atmosphere. This style is impressive because it successfully combines refined details with bold color splashes to create visual effects that are both energetic and depth-rich.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Watercolor Splash: Adds more dynamic color splatter effects, enhancing the vitality and fluidity of the image
  • Vibrant Gradients: Increases the richness of color transitions, giving the image a more dreamlike and multi-layered visual effect
  • Line Art Definition: Strengthens the clarity of outlines, adding definition and structure while maintaining the flowing watercolor feel

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for game character design, young adult book illustrations, anime merchandise, pop music album covers, fashion app interfaces, and brand visual identities targeting younger audiences. Its vibrancy and contemporary feel make it excellent for expressing content rich in emotion and imagination.

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
