Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of illustrated storybook art, Japanese manga aesthetics, and watercolor techniques. The gentle linework, dreamlike color palette, and slightly melancholic atmosphere create a kind of "poetic realism." Rather than pursuing photorealism, it conveys mood through simplified forms and emotional expression, similar to the work of Japanese illustrators like Nobuhiko Yabuki.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of these images include a soft, unified color palette dominated by blue-green tones and gentle orange-yellows, creating a dreamy yet slightly melancholic atmosphere. The linework is simple yet expressive, outlining figures and scenes without excessive detail. Star elements and cosmic imagery add a surreal quality, infusing ordinary scenes with poetic significance. The overall composition has a floating quality, as if all elements exist weightlessly in an emotionally charged space, which is precisely what makes this style so captivating.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dreamy watercolor: Enhances the flowing color transitions and haziness, adding more emotional depth
  • Hand-drawn lineart: Strengthens the expressiveness and handcrafted feel of the lines, making the work more human and artistic
  • Starry elements: Amplifies the surreal and poetic aspects of the images, creating a more narrative visual experience

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, literary work accompaniments, emotional app interface designs, indie game character design, and young adult novel covers. It also works well for expressing inner feelings and memories, such as music album covers, poetry illustrations, or content that explores themes of nostalgia and growing up.

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
