Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Japanese illustration, Gothic dark art, and classical sketching. It presents a fusion of neoclassicism with contemporary Japanese illustrative art, particularly evident in the meticulous line work and black-and-white contrast that reflects traditional printmaking and sketching techniques, while incorporating the expressiveness of modern anime aesthetics.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent characteristic of these images is the exquisitely detailed black and white linework with strong contrast between light and shadow. Each piece displays extremely fine stroke details with fluid yet powerful lines. The subjects in the images all exhibit a dramatic expressiveness, with both human and animal figures carrying a certain surreal and mythological quality. The black and white color scheme creates a dreamlike and somewhat mysterious atmosphere, giving the overall style both a classical feel and a modern sensibility.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Fine linework: Enhances the detailed expressiveness in the artwork, making lines more crisp and fluid, elevating the overall refinement
  • Dark fairytale: Adds mystery and dramatic atmosphere to the work, strengthening narrative quality and emotional depth
  • Neoclassicism: Incorporates more classical art elements, balancing modernity with traditional aesthetics, enhancing the artistic foundation

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for literary work illustrations, especially covers for fairy tales or mythology collections; character concept design for indie games, particularly those with Gothic or dark fantasy elements; additionally, it works exceptionally well for art exhibition posters, music album covers, and fashion magazine illustrations that seek a distinctive visual style.

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
