Art Style Type

This SREF style blends cyberpunk, dark fantasy, and film noir elements. It presents a post-apocalyptic feel through misty atmospheres and high contrast, while maintaining the mystery of neo-noir cinema. The style resembles a fusion of Tim Burton's gothic aesthetics with Blade Runner's sci-fi atmosphere, plus a touch of Edgar Allan Poe's horror elements.

Style Characteristics

The most distinctive feature of this style is the pervasive fog and mist, creating a dreamlike yet tense atmosphere. Images use low-saturation tones, primarily grays and blacks, with only sparse points of warm light sources (like orange-red) penetrating the fog to form strong visual focal points. Shadows and silhouettes are emphasized while details are intentionally blurred, giving a sense of eerie mystery. This style is impressive because it evokes an unsettling yet captivating mood, as if the viewer stands at the edge of a world both familiar and strange.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

Fogbound: Enhances the misty quality and mysterious atmosphere, making scenes more dreamlike
Low-key lighting: Reinforces shadow details and ambiance, making limited light sources more dramatic and impactful
Monochromatic: Reduces color distractions, emphasizing the relationship between shapes and light/shadow, highlighting mood over detail

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for psychological thriller movie posters, mystery novel covers, gothic music album art, horror game concept designs, and atmospheric advertising photography. It's also excellent for visual narratives exploring themes of isolation, alienation, and introspection, as well as any visual work requiring tension and mystery.

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.
