Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of surrealism, sci-fi art, and hyper-realistic rendering. It showcases a "hyper-real fantasy" approach by presenting completely fictional scenes with extremely convincing details and textures. The style resembles cinematic CG rendering but adds a dreamlike and somewhat unsettling atmosphere, reminiscent of the visual aesthetics found in films like "Blade Runner" and "Alien."

Style Characteristics

The main characteristic of these images is the extreme detail and dramatic light-shadow contrast. Each image has a "dark luxury" atmosphere, creating stunning visual impact through richly textured surfaces and fine details. The color palette tends toward deep base tones with bright accent colors (particularly red and blue), creating an atmosphere that is both mysterious and tension-filled. The lighting treatment is exceptionally refined, enhancing the dramatic quality and three-dimensionality through strong contrast, making the scenes more immersive.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Hyper-detailed rendering: Adding this term can further enhance the microscopic details and texture representation in the images, immersing viewers in every carefully designed detail
  • Cinematic lighting: Using this can strengthen the dramatic light and shadow effects in the images, creating a more film-like visual language and atmosphere
  • Reflective metallic textures: Adding this element can improve the material representation of objects' surfaces in the images, enhancing the overall sense of technology and futurism

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi film concept design, game character and environment creation, high-end visual novel illustrations, music album cover design, and any commercial project requiring a futuristic, mysterious, or slightly unsettling atmosphere. It's also very appropriate for creating works that need to blend realistic and surrealistic elements, especially when creators want to present memorable and dramatically impactful visual effects.

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
