Art Style Type

This SREF style blends cinematic sci-fi realism with dreamy surrealism. It combines the precision of modern digital art with the emotional expressiveness of traditional painting, showcasing a "new romantic digital art" quality. Through strong color contrasts, sophisticated light and shadow treatment, and surreal scene settings, it creates visual experiences that are both realistic and fantastical.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of these images include:

  • Bold and vibrant color contrasts, especially the complementary pairing of blue and orange-yellow
  • Dramatic lighting effects creating strong contrast between warm light sources and cool-toned environments
  • Meticulous texture rendering that brings materials like metal, fabric, and organic matter to life
  • Dreamlike atmosphere that blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy
  • Emotionally charged composition and scene setting that evokes strong emotional responses

This style is impressive because it successfully combines highly technical digital rendering with profound emotional expression, creating a unique aesthetic that feels both futuristic and nostalgic.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic lighting: Enhances dramatic light and shadow effects, adding depth and emotional tension
  • Surreal atmosphere: Strengthens the blurring of boundaries between reality and fantasy, adding mystery and imaginative space
  • Saturated complementary colors: Further intensifies the impact of colors, making the image more vibrant
  • Emotional narrative: Elevates the storytelling and emotional expression, increasing viewer resonance

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for:

  • Concept art and promotional posters for science fiction films or games
  • Music album covers or music video visual designs
  • Immersive experience visuals, such as VR environments or themed exhibitions
  • Emotionally engaging brand advertisements and narrative commercial illustrations
  • Artistic projects exploring the inner world and external reality

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
