Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Gothic darkness, cyberpunk, and Japanese manga aesthetics. The images feature strong black outlines and contours, paired with striking color contrasts (particularly red, purple, and black combinations), creating a dark and mysterious atmosphere. This style resembles dark fantasy manga or game concept art, merging traditional hand-drawn qualities with modern digital art techniques.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of these images include: strong light-dark contrasts, detailed yet bold linework, limited but vibrant color usage (primarily monochromatic with accent colors), and the creation of a mysterious, brooding atmosphere. Each character is bathed in dramatic lighting that creates tension and mystique. This style is impressive because it successfully combines dark aesthetics with refined line artistry to create images with both emotional intensity and visual impact.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dark Fantasy: Enhances the mysterious, supernatural, and slightly horrific atmosphere, making characters more intimidating and enigmatic
  • Line Art: Emphasizes the detailed line treatment, increasing image clarity and artistic expression while making contours more pronounced
  • Neon Lighting: Adds vibrant color accents to the dark-toned compositions, creating more futuristic and dramatic visual effects

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for dark fantasy game character design, gothic manga illustrations, horror or mystery-themed book covers, alternative music album artwork, gothic fashion photography, and film posters. It works well for depicting mysterious, powerful, or dangerous character archetypes and is ideal for any creative context that requires tense, mysterious, or supernatural atmospheres.

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
