Style Summary

This style set features a collection of digital illustrations characterized by a dark, atmospheric aesthetic, a limited color palette (often dominated by grays and blacks), and a focus on surreal, unsettling, or dreamlike imagery. The styles evoke a sense of mystery, unease, and a subtle sense of the uncanny or the unknown.

Style Analysis

Color: The color palettes are limited and often dominated by shades of gray and black. This creates a dark and atmospheric feel, emphasizing the sense of mystery and unease. Brighter colours, when used, create a bold contrast.
Lighting: The lighting is often dim and atmospheric, with deep shadows and subtle highlights. This creates a sense of mystery and unease, obscuring details and adding to the unsettling atmosphere. The light source may be ambiguous or used to create specific effects, like the glow of a full moon or the faint light of a distant object.
Design Technique: The styles employ a digital illustration technique that often creates a sense of surrealism or the uncanny. The subjects are often depicted in unusual or unsettling contexts, with a focus on creating a sense of atmosphere and emotional impact. There's often a blend of realism and abstraction, blurring the lines between the familiar and the strange. The compositions are often carefully balanced, using negative space and subtle details to create a sense of visual intrigue. The styles convey a sense of mystery, unease, the uncanny, the unknown, and a subtle sense of dreamlike or surreal imagery.

Application Scenarios

Concept Art for Horror Films, Video Games, or Other Media with a Dark or Unsettling Tone: The styles can be used to create visually striking concept art for projects that require a sense of mystery, unease, or psychological horror. It can help establish the mood and visual language of the project, informing the design of characters, environments, and overall aesthetic

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
