Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Impressionism with modern illustrative art, carrying qualities of magical realism. It belongs to these categories because it captures light and shadow effects through bold, expressive brushstrokes while maintaining vibrant color contrasts and strong emotional expression—hallmarks of Impressionism. The influence of modern illustration is evident in its simplified forms and emphasis on emotional communication.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this SREF style include bold color contrasts, thick brushstrokes, and distinctive light and shadow treatment. The images typically feature dark backgrounds that highlight bright subjects, creating striking dramatic effects. The brushwork appears spontaneous yet intentional, preserving a hand-painted quality while displaying the precision of digital art. What makes this style particularly impressive is its ability to capture complex emotional atmospheres through simplified forms, and its capacity to maintain a dreamlike quality without losing its grounding in reality.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Light and shadow contrast: Enhances the dramatic conflict between light and dark areas, making the subject more prominent and intensifying the overall atmosphere
  • Emotional color palette: Helps strengthen the emotional undertones of the work, making the image more expressive and evocative
  • Impasto technique: Elevates the texture and dimensionality of brushstrokes, adding artistic quality and visual depth to the image

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for narrative-driven game concept art, fantasy book cover illustrations, emotionally charged movie posters, and music album covers that need to evoke specific moods. It's also excellent for personal artistic creations that express inner emotions or symbolic themes, especially those that need to convey both real and surreal elements simultaneously.

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
