Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of dreamy realism with cinematic atmospheric photography. It incorporates the melancholic feel of neo-gothic aesthetics while featuring the delicate details and light treatment often found in Japanese anime aesthetics. This style belongs to these categories because it blurs the line between reality and dreams, creating a surreal yet seemingly tangible visual experience through carefully designed lighting and atmosphere.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include dreamlike light treatment that creates a hazy, ethereal atmosphere. The light spots and diffusion effects create a subtle grainy texture, like dust particles or water droplets floating in the air. The color palette leans toward cool tones, dominated by blue-cyan and gray, adding mystery and emotional depth. The depth of field is quite pronounced, with sharp foregrounds and blurred backgrounds, guiding the viewer's eye and emphasizing the subject. This style is impressive because it successfully creates an emotional space between dreams and reality, evoking a feeling that is both familiar and elusive.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dreamy Glow: Pairing with this word enhances the delicate light specks in the image, making the light more soft and layered
  • Misty Atmosphere: Using this word can strengthen the hazy quality in the images, making the overall ambiance more mysterious and ethereal
  • Midnight Blues: Adding this element intensifies the cool-toned emotional expression, enhancing the melancholic beauty and dramatic contrast

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fantasy or sci-fi concept art, emotional music album cover designs, melancholic literary work illustrations, and narrative-rich game scene designs. It also works excellently for visualizing dream sequences, inner worlds, or emotional states, and can bring a unique atmosphere to horror or supernatural themed movie posters.

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
