Art Style Type

This SREF style primarily blends elements of Japanese anime with traditional watercolor illustration. It shows clear influence from Studio Ghibli's aesthetic, particularly the art design in Hayao Miyazaki's works. The style maintains a hand-drawn feel and soft color palette while incorporating the clean linework of modern illustration, creating a visual effect that feels nostalgic yet contemporary.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics include a gentle color harmony dominated by soft yellows, beige, and subtle greens; refined but not overly complex linework; and characters with clear outlines but slight watercolor diffusion effects in the coloring. Most impressive is how it balances simplicity with detail, creating a warm, approachable atmosphere rich with storytelling potential that evokes the world of fairy tales and folk legends.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Watercolor rendering: Enhances the soft transitional textures in the image, making color layering more rich and natural
  • Fine lineart: Strengthens the clarity of character and scene outlines, making the overall image more harmonious and ordered
  • Vintage warm tones: Elevates the nostalgic feel and cozy atmosphere, adding emotional depth and narrative quality

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, animation concept design, fantasy character design, cozy-style game art, and narrative commercial illustrations. It also works excellently for creating emotionally resonant promotional posters or artistic works expressing themes of nature and innocence.

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
