Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of neo-dark fantasy with concept art. It combines the dramatic quality of cinematic concept design with the refined expressiveness of modern illustration, creating a balance between realism and stylization. Rather than pursuing photo-realism, it creates a visual language that feels both industrial and mystical through strong color contrasts and emotive lighting.

Style Characteristics

The style characteristics of these images are expressed in the following aspects:

  • Strong contrast between light and shadow with directional light sources, creating dramatic atmosphere and volumetric feel
  • Orange and dark color contrasts form the visual core, with warm-toned elements glowing against dark backgrounds
  • Brushwork retains a painterly quality rather than completely smooth digital rendering
  • Compositions are powerful and concise, with main figures occupying the primary space while backgrounds remain relatively simplified
  • A coexistence of mystery and majesty, with character figures imbued with an extraordinary quality

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dark Aesthetics: Enhances the shadowy parts of the image, adding mystery and drama to the work
  • Ambient Light Effects: Improves the light source representation, making glowing elements more eye-catching and strengthening atmosphere
  • Concept Design: Enhances the design sense of characters or scenes, making the work more professional and futuristic
  • Cinematic Quality: Adding this element improves the overall narrative quality and visual impact

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi or fantasy themed game character design, movie posters, book covers, visual novel illustrations, and character concept design. It effectively conveys emotions of mystery, power, and majesty, making it ideal for portraying heroes, villains, or characters with extraordinary abilities. This style is also very suitable for dark-themed game art or key frame designs for animation trailers.

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
