Art Style Type

This SREF style blends contemporary illustration art with Japanese ink-wash aesthetics, while incorporating subtle influences from cyberpunk and magical realism. Its clean, precise yet soft linework and restrained but poetic use of color represent a balanced meeting between modern illustration techniques and traditional Eastern artistic sensibilities.

Style Characteristics

The most distinctive features of this style are the delicate, refined linework paired with lightweight color schemes. The images evoke an ethereal, dreamy atmosphere with soft color palettes dominated by grays, whites, and pale pinks that create a dreamlike and slightly melancholic mood. Character renderings are detailed yet somewhat abstract, offering clear forms while leaving room for imagination. Backgrounds are minimalist but layered, enhancing spatial depth and emotional expression. This style is impressive because it successfully balances simplicity with complexity while conveying a unique emotional quality.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Ethereal linework: Emphasizing thin, flowing lines can enhance the elegance and ethereal quality of the images
  • Dreamy palette: Using muted grays, pinks, and whites can strengthen the dreamlike and poetic atmosphere of the work
  • Emotional lighting: Adding subtle light and shadow contrasts improves the emotional depth and mood-setting capabilities of the overall piece

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for literary book illustrations, concept art, indie game character design, young adult novel covers, music album artwork, and any visual projects that need to convey dreaminess, introspection, or emotional depth. Its poetic aesthetics also make it ideal for fashion illustrations and art exhibitions.

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
