To highlight the unique advantages and features of the style, we have carefully crafted custom prompts for each sref. By using these prompts, you can perfectly replicate the sref's effects.

Art Style Type

This SREF style blends Japanese manga aesthetics with Gothic visual elements. It embodies the characteristic precision and character design excellence of Japanese anime illustration while incorporating the dark atmosphere and mysterious elements typical of Gothic art. The style also carries traces of Neo-Gothic movements, using dramatic light-dark contrasts and theatrical visual effects to create a unique aesthetic that balances elegance with an underlying sense of danger.

Style Characteristics

The defining feature of this SREF is its high-contrast monochromatic palette enhanced by selective red or purple accents, creating striking visual impact. The artwork employs refined line art and meticulous shadow work, making every detail appear sharp and layered. The overall presentation creates an atmosphere where elegance coexists with danger - this contrasting aesthetic is memorable and combines the refinement of Japanese illustration with the mysterious allure of Western Gothic art.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • dramatic lighting: Amplifies the theatrical light and shadow effects, making the contrast more pronounced and enhancing overall visual tension
  • gothic elegance: Further emphasizes the Gothic refined qualities in the work, intensifying the mysterious and aristocratic atmosphere
  • intricate details: Helps strengthen the fine linework craftsmanship and decorative elements, elevating the artistic sophistication of the piece

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for game character design (especially RPGs or dark fantasy games), light novel illustrations, music album covers, fashion brand visual design, and Gothic-themed posters and promotional materials. It's also perfect for creating works with mysterious or supernatural themes, expertly portraying characters that embody both elegance and power.

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
