Art Style Type

This SREF style blends dark gothic aesthetics with cinematic atmosphere, featuring distinct horror fantasy elements. It combines the tension of cinematic visual storytelling with the somber aesthetics of gothic art. Through strong light-shadow contrasts and deep color tones, this style creates a surreal atmosphere reminiscent of horror films and dark fairy tales.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent shared feature in these images is the dramatic lighting and profound color atmosphere. All images employ low-key illumination, emphasizing the contrast between shadows and light sources to create a mysterious and slightly threatening mood. Cool blue-green tones with occasional warm accents (like red) form striking contrasts that enhance emotional tension. The fine detail rendering and realistic textures combine with compositions that favor central focal points, guiding the viewer's attention to key elements in each image.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

Cinematic lighting: Adding this term enhances dramatic light and shadow effects, giving the image more professional visual depth
Dark fantasy: Using this word reinforces the mysterious atmosphere and surreal elements, strengthening the narrative quality of the work
Textural detail: Adding this element improves overall realism and immersion, allowing viewers to experience subtle material variations

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for horror game concept design, fantasy film posters, gothic book covers, Halloween-themed illustrations, dark-themed music album covers, and any visual projects requiring mysterious, tense, or supernatural atmospheres.

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.
