Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of dark fantasy, biomechanical art, and neo-gothic aesthetics. It carries distinct surrealist qualities while incorporating the intricate linework and texture treatment typical of Japanese illustration. This style belongs to these categories because it combines the somber atmosphere of gothic art, the fusion of mechanical and organic elements, and the supernatural elements common in fantasy art to create a unique visual language.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include extremely detailed linework and texture, high-contrast light and shadow treatment, cool color palettes with occasional warm accents, and the fusion of organic and mechanical elements. Each piece presents an exquisite sculptural quality, as if every detail has been meticulously carved. What makes this style impressive is its almost obsessive attention to detail, displaying an incredible precision in texture, decoration, and structure that creates a mysterious yet unsettling beauty.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Intricate engraving: Pairing with this word enhances the fine, engraving-like lines and textural details in the artwork, giving the image richer tactile quality and depth
  • Biomechanical fusion: Using this word reinforces the seamless integration of organic and mechanical elements, creating more futuristic and mysterious visual effects
  • Ethereal glow: Adding this element brings a supernatural luminescence to the work, enhancing the overall sense of mystery and dimensionality, making key elements stand out against dark backgrounds

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for character design and concept art for dark fantasy games, science fiction horror movie posters, heavy metal album covers, gothic-style comic illustrations, and any visual projects requiring a mysterious, supernatural atmosphere. It's also excellent for creating artwork with dark aesthetics for collector's edition book illustrations or special themed exhibitions.

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
