Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Neo-expressionism with Surrealism, while maintaining a fairy tale illustration quality. It employs a woodcut-like approach to linework, though with more modern and bold color choices. The style presents a dreamlike yet slightly mysterious atmosphere, reminiscent of a fusion between traditional art techniques and digital artistry. The precision of the lines and application of color gives it both the warmth of handcrafted art and the exactness of digital creation.

Style Characteristics

The most striking characteristics of these images are the strong color contrasts and detailed linear textures. Each image features dark backgrounds that highlight vibrant subjects, creating dramatic visual effects. The linework appears as dense parallel arrangements, giving the images a print-like or etched quality. The color palette primarily consists of oranges, blues, and pinks that create a dreamlike and mysterious atmosphere against black backgrounds. This style is impressive because it successfully combines traditional artistic techniques with modern digital aesthetics, creating a visual experience that feels both nostalgic and cutting-edge.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Etched Print: Enhances the fine quality of lines, increases the handcrafted artistic feel and layering of the work
  • Dark Fairy Tale: Strengthens the mysterious qualities and narrative elements, giving the images more symbolic depth and meaning
  • Gradient Lighting: Improves the fluidity and spatial quality of the colors, making the scenes more dramatic and dreamlike

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for indie game art, children's literature illustrations, music album cover designs, posters with mysterious themes, and narrative illustrations that need to convey deeper meanings. Its mysterious quality and unique texture also make it an ideal choice for fantasy book covers or promotional materials for art-house films.

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
