Art Style Type

This SREF style blends dark gothic elements with modern minimalism, while incorporating the dramatic quality of neo-expressionism. It combines a dark luxurious visual language with clean, sharp lines to create an aesthetic that is both imposing and refined. This style is striking because it expresses a profound and dramatic atmosphere through strong light-dark contrasts and a limited color palette.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include: extreme contrast between almost completely black backgrounds and white or bright elements; limited but impactful use of color, primarily black and white with occasional accents like vivid red; smooth and refined texture representation, with surfaces appearing almost porcelain-like; and sophisticated contour lines, with both figures and objects featuring clear and slightly exaggerated edge definition. This style is impressive because it creates a surreal yet refined visual experience, giving viewers a sense of both elegance and mystery.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Specular highlights: Adding this keyword can enhance the glossy feel of surfaces, giving the main subjects in the image a more refined, porcelain-like quality
  • Sharp contours: Using this word can further strengthen the edge lines of forms, making elements in the image clearer and more sculptural
  • Shadow gradients: Adding this element enriches the layering in dark areas, enhancing the overall sense of mystery and depth, making the image more dramatic

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for luxury brand visual marketing, fashion magazine covers, modern dark fantasy game art, high-end jewelry displays, dystopian-themed movie posters, modern gothic music album covers, and any visual work that needs to create a dramatic, mysterious atmosphere with a refined quality.

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
