Art Style Type

This SREF style blends dark cyberpunk, minimalism, and new dark aesthetics. It has a strong cinematic quality, as if combining ghostly elements from Japanese animation with the cold visual language of modern science fiction. What makes this style unique is that it doesn't rely on complex details, but rather conveys a profound atmosphere through strong contrasts and minimalist design.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristic of these images is the strong contrast between light and dark, along with unique luminous effects. Bright elements against dark backgrounds create dramatic visual focal points, as if telling a story that unfolds in the shadows. The monochromatic color scheme primarily uses deep grays, blacks, and whites, occasionally accented with warm-toned light sources that add mystery and depth. The images have a smooth yet layered texture, with clear but not overly sharp contours, giving a surreal yet tangible feeling.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Shadow Silhouette: Enhances the silhouette effect of characters or objects, making them more dramatic and mysterious when illuminated by light sources
  • Subtle Glow: Adds soft luminous effects to the edges or key parts of objects, elevating the technological feel and supernatural atmosphere
  • Minimalist Composition: Simplifies elements in the frame, strengthening the contrast between subject and background to make the focal content more prominent and powerful

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for horror game concept design, sci-fi movie promotional posters, mystery novel cover illustrations, independent music album visual designs, and any creative context that needs to evoke mysterious, surreal, or slightly unsettling atmospheres. It also works excellently for expressing themes of solitude, introspection, or the supernatural.

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
