Art Style Type
This SREF style blends dark fantasy, cyberpunk, and retro horror elements. It combines modern horror aesthetics with 80s-90s tech nostalgia, creating an atmosphere that exists between reality and the supernatural. The style evokes works like "Stranger Things" and "Black Mirror," as well as classic horror film visual language, establishing a sense of the familiar yet strange through strong color contrasts and mysterious elements.
Style Characteristics
The most striking feature of these images is the intense blue and red neon lighting effects that create sharp contrast against dark environments. The overall atmosphere is dim and mysterious, with key elements dramatically illuminated by highly saturated light sources. Spatially, there's a sense of confinement and isolation, while compositions often include outdated technological elements merged with mystical symbols, creating an unsettling sense of temporal displacement. The images intentionally feature slight grain and soft edges, reinforcing the nostalgic mood and dreamlike surrealism.
