Art Style Type

These images showcase a vintage fairy tale illustration style, combining early 20th-century graphic design aesthetics with Gothic elements. They feature a distinctive woodcut print quality while incorporating American vintage comic art techniques.

Style Characteristics

The overall style is based on strong black and white contrasts, complemented by bold red accents. The lines are robust and powerful, conveying a handcrafted quality. The atmosphere is slightly dark and mysterious, while maintaining a whimsical fairy tale charm.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • woodcut print: Enhances the texture and feel of woodcut printing
  • vintage illustration: Adds more depth to the retro illustration style
  • high contrast: Strengthens the black and white contrast for more dramatic effect

Recommended Application Scenarios

Particularly suitable for fairy tale book illustrations, Halloween-themed designs, indie game artwork, and alternative style poster designs.

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
