Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Neo-expressionism and Cyberpunk, with strong Japanese anime influences. The stark color contrasts, simplified yet expressive lines, and dramatic treatment of light and shadow all reflect Neo-expressionist qualities. Meanwhile, the futuristic elements and strong contrast between warm and cool tones carry distinct Cyberpunk aesthetics.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of these images is the bold use of color—particularly the combination of pink, blue-purple, and black creating strong visual impact. The linework is clean yet expressive, with clear but not rigid outlines. The dramatic lighting creates an atmosphere that exists between reality and hyperreality. The overall style has a "flattened" quality, but depth is added through subtle shadows and highlights. This style is impressive because it successfully balances the tension between simplicity and complexity, warmth and coldness.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Neon lighting: Adds urban nightscape-like glow and reflections, enhancing the cyberpunk atmosphere
  • High contrast: Further emphasizes the difference between light and dark areas, increasing the drama and visual impact
  • Line art emphasis: Enhances the expressiveness of contour lines, making figures more distinct while maintaining an artistic feel

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fashion magazine illustrations, music album cover designs, sci-fi or cyberpunk-themed game character designs, and promotional posters for modern trendy brands. Its stark contrasts and emotional expression also make it an ideal visual language for content with emotional or psychological themes.

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
