Art Style Type

This SREF style blends dark fantasy, gothic aesthetics, and modern illustrative art. It's reminiscent of a fusion between dark fairy tales and contemporary mythology, with distinct fantasy illustration qualities. The style evokes modern fantasy novel covers, tabletop game card illustrations, or video game concept art, carrying a strong mystical and supernatural atmosphere.

Style Characteristics

These images share several prominent style characteristics: deep starry backgrounds with bold color contrasts; fluid yet intricate linework; ornate and mystical decorative elements; and an otherworldly sense of mystery. Particularly impressive is the light and shadow treatment—featuring strong contrast that creates a dreamlike, surreal atmosphere. The compositions are typically clean yet detail-rich, with high color saturation and clever juxtaposition of cool and warm tones to highlight the subjects.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Starry background: Adding this element enhances the mystical quality and depth of the image, providing a cosmic, infinite backstory feel
  • Glowing effects: Using this creates a supernatural atmosphere, reinforcing the subject's mystery and power, and adding visual focus to the composition
  • Decorative details: Adding fine ornamental elements elevates the image's ornate quality and mystical character, making figures more iconic and memorable

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fantasy novel or game cover designs, tabletop game card illustrations, heavy metal album covers, mystical-themed posters, character designs for role-playing games, and any visual work requiring a mysterious, supernatural, or epic atmosphere. It would also work excellently as visual reference for gothic fashion photography or short films.

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
