Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of dark fantasy, surrealism, and cinematic rendering. It features highly dramatic visual presentation similar to modern game CG and concept art approaches. It belongs to these style categories because it combines strong dramatic lighting contrasts, beyond-reality thematic elements, and extremely detailed 3D rendering quality.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include: dramatic light and shadow contrasts that make subjects stand out from dark backgrounds; refined texture representation with extremely realistic details across various materials from metal to skin; rich saturated color contrasts, especially orange-red accents against black backgrounds; and an impressive ability to create atmosphere. This style is impressive because it creates a visual experience that transcends reality while delivering emotional impact, with each image having narrative quality like a key scene from a film.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic lighting: Pairing with this word enhances the dramatic lighting effects in the image, making the work more filmic and narrative
  • Volumetric light: Using this word can enhance the texture and spatial sense of light in the image, creating a more dreamlike and mysterious atmosphere
  • Subsurface glow: Adding this element introduces fine luminous details in the dark areas, enhancing the depth and mystique of the work

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fantasy game character design, movie posters, music album covers, dark-themed exhibition promotions, mythological illustrations, and visual marketing materials for premium brands. It brings unique artistic expression to projects requiring strong visual impact and emotional rendering.

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
