Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Dark Fantasy with Cinematic Realism. Through its powerful atmospheric construction and meticulous detail work, it presents a visual experience that exists between reality and hyperreality. This style borrows from the mystique of Gothic art and the refined expressiveness of modern digital art, perfectly combining fantastical elements with realistic techniques.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of these images include: deep atmosphere and dramatic lighting effects that create strong emotional tension; exquisite texture representation, with convincing material qualities whether depicting metal, fabric, or skin; a cool color palette dominated by blue-gray and deep blue tones, accented with warm light sources for striking contrast; subtle particle effects and smoke elements that add mystery and depth. This style is impressive because it combines supernatural fantasy elements while maintaining sufficient realism, creating a powerful sense of immersion.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Shadow Flares: Adding this element can enhance the dramatic contrast between light and shadow in the image, creating more mysterious and richly layered visual effects
  • Particle Dispersion: Using this can add atmospheric quality and spatial depth while giving scenes a supernatural mysterious ambiance
  • Cool Color Filter: Pairing with this effect strengthens the overall cold atmosphere and provides the image with consistent visual language and emotional tone

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fantasy game character design and concept art, dark-themed movie posters and promotional materials, mysterious book cover illustrations, surrealist music album covers, and any visual creation that needs to establish a deep, mysterious, and dramatically atmospheric mood.

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
