Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of anime, retro-futurism, and Art Nouveau. It has a clear Japanese anime aesthetic foundation, while incorporating retro-futuristic elements reminiscent of mid-20th century sci-fi illustrations, along with flowing organic lines and vibrant contrasting colors that evoke the decorative nature of Art Nouveau. This fusion creates a distinctive visual language that feels both modern and nostalgic.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include bold, vibrant color contrasts, fluid contour lines, and dramatic compositions. Colors are highly saturated, with dreamlike gradient cloud effects in the backgrounds that create a strong atmospheric quality. Characters and creatures feature exaggerated but proportionally harmonious designs with cartoonish yet detailed features. The overall image maintains a distinctive coexistence of flatness and depth. What makes this style particularly impressive is how it maintains an illustrative quality while infusing the images with strong emotion and narrative potential.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Neon lighting effects: Adding this element can enhance the sci-fi feel and dramatic light contrasts, making colors more dazzling and electronic
  • Vintage comic texture: Using this can add a nostalgic print quality, strengthening the retro-futuristic atmosphere of the work
  • Dynamic composition: This keyword can elevate the dramatic tension of the image, giving characters or scenes more expressive poses and energy

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi or fantasy-themed game character design, anime cover art, music album covers, trendy clothing pattern design, and visual promotions for youth-oriented entertainment products. Its dramatic and distinctive characteristics also make it an ideal choice for villain or hero representations in video games, comics, or animations.

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
