Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Post-Apocalyptic and Retro-Futurism, with strong notes of Sci-Fi Realism and Cinematic quality. It belongs to these style categories because the images present a wasteland atmosphere while maintaining nostalgic color treatments, successfully merging futuristic technology with realistic elements to create a distinctive visual language.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent characteristic of these images is their strong color contrast and grainy texture. They share a warm color filter that makes them appear as if captured on vintage film, giving them a distinct retro feel. The light treatment is highly dramatic, creating a powerful atmosphere while maintaining a semi-realistic quality. The grain effect and slight haziness add a nostalgic feeling, as if these scenes are memory fragments from a parallel universe. This style is impressive because it successfully creates a temporal tension between future and past.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Film Grain: Adding this term enhances the grainy texture and vintage atmosphere, making images look more like they were shot on classic film stock
  • Warm Filter: Using this reinforces the nostalgic golden and orange tones present in the images, creating a warm yet slightly melancholic mood
  • Dramatic Lighting: Adding this element improves the overall theatricality and atmosphere, making scenes more engaging and emotionally charged

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi movie poster design, post-apocalyptic game art, concept art pieces, music album covers, science fiction book illustrations, and any creative project needing to combine retro elements with futuristic sensibilities. It's also excellent for depicting narrative scenes with strong contrasts such as "technology versus nature," "past versus future," and "mechanical versus organic" themes.

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
