Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of cyberpunk and Japanese animation (particularly 90s classic anime films). It carries a strong "neo-wave Japanese animation" aesthetic, similar to the visual language seen in works like "Ghost in the Shell" and "AKIRA." Through deep color contrasts, urban nightscapes, and retro-tech elements, this style creates a unique atmosphere where futurism and nostalgia coexist.

Style Characteristics

The most notable characteristic of this style is its vivid color contrast and atmosphere building. The contrast between blue tones and warm colors (like reds and yellows) is particularly striking, creating emotive lighting effects. Lines are delicate yet fluid, showcasing the texture of hand-drawn animation while maintaining a certain level of detail. The treatment of night city lighting is especially excellent, using windows, neon lights and other elements to create a dreamlike yet melancholic atmosphere. The overall composition has a cinematic quality and storytelling ability, delivering a deep and emotionally rich visual experience.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Hand-drawn anime film style: Enhances the traditional animation quality of the image, making generated visuals closer to the aesthetics of classic Japanese animated films
  • Night city atmosphere: Strengthens the mysteriousness and futuristic feel of urban nightscapes, creating a more immersive cyberpunk environment
  • Light and shadow contrast: Elevates the dramatic representation of light sources and shadows, enhancing the overall emotional expression and sense of depth

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi story illustrations, cyberpunk-themed visual novels, retro-futuristic movie posters, animation concept design, and any visual creation needing an atmosphere that's both futuristic and nostalgic. It's also perfect for depicting urban nightlife, narratives where technology and humanity intertwine, and visual works with emotional depth and philosophical contemplation.

More Prompt Tips & Tricks


You can explore further by combining the following prompt command for MidJourney:

  • --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

This website stands out as one of the pioneering libraries I discovered in my AI art journey. What truly sets it apart is its comprehensive offering: not just unique style codes, but also intricate blends and full prompts. The inclusion of complete prompts is particularly valuable, as it's an artistic choice that many creators hesitate to share openly.

As a beginner in MidJourney, I struggled to create the style of images I envisioned and felt lost with keyword usage. This led me to create this website for sref codes and examples with prompts, aimed at helping newcomers easily generate high-quality images and find joy in their creative process.
