Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Dark Gothic, Cyberpunk, and Industrial Futurism. It has distinct Neo-Baroque qualities, evident in the dramatic contrast between ornate details and dark themes. Simultaneously, it carries a technological feel of the digital age, creating a surreal visual experience through the fusion of mechanical and organic elements.

Style Characteristics

These images are built on extreme black and white contrast, almost completely abandoning color elements to create a powerful dramatic effect. The details are extremely refined, with both surface textures and structural lines exhibiting highly complex qualities. The light and shadow effects are particularly prominent, with interplaying brightness and darkness creating profound depth, giving the images a sculptural three-dimensionality. The overall atmosphere is mysterious and solemn, carrying a certain mythological or religious ceremonial quality, while also incorporating the coldness of future technology.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dark Sculpture: Enhances three-dimensionality and texture, giving images more of a heavy, artistic quality reminiscent of physical sculptures
  • Digital Deconstruction: Adds fragmented, layered, and grid-line elements, strengthening the technological feel and surreal atmosphere
  • Shadow Halo: Intensifies the contrast between halos and shadows, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere with increased visual impact

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for heavy metal album covers, dark fantasy game character design, science fiction movie posters, high-end fashion photography, and exhibition promotions with mysterious themes. It's also well-suited for illustrations depicting deep themes such as inner struggle, power, or destiny, as well as brand identity designs requiring strong visual impact.

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
