Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Dark Fantasy, Cyberpunk, and Gothic Horror. It presents a surreal and mysterious atmosphere, creating a world between reality and nightmare through strong emotional contrasts and supernatural elements. The deep teal-green tones with vivid red accents create visual tension, reminiscent of the aesthetic styles seen in films like "Alien" and "Hellboy."

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of these images is their unified color scheme and atmosphere. The teal-green background feels mysterious like an underwater world, while the bright red accents serve as warning signals, creating strong visual focal points. The light and shadow contrasts are highly dramatic, with darkness hiding the unknown while bright areas guide the viewer's gaze. All images carry a sense of supernatural threat and mystery, with figures and creatures imbued with an ominous majesty. The texture treatment is refined, with convincing details in skin, fabric, and hard surfaces, making the overall style both dreamlike and tangible.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Deep Sea Atmosphere: Enhances the mysterious feeling of being in deep water or another world, adding a sense of oppressive, enveloping space
  • Ancient Ritual: Adds occult and ceremonial elements, further strengthening the sense of mystery and ancient legend in the images
  • Biomechanical: Incorporates half-mechanical, half-organic elements, enhancing the surreal quality and sci-fi horror visual impact

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for horror game or dark fantasy game concept designs, capable of creating an unsettling atmosphere for characters and settings. It's equally appropriate for sci-fi horror movie posters, heavy metal album covers, mystical book illustrations, and any visual work requiring a supernatural, mysterious, or unsettling atmosphere. This style also works exceptionally well for tarot cards or mythological creature illustration collections, giving traditional elements a modernized horror feel.

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
