Art Style Type

This SREF style blends dark fantasy, neo-gothic, and cyberpunk elements. It presents a highly dramatized visual style, similar to a combination of dark fantasy games and modern anime. The strong contrasts, saturated colors, and exaggerated character designs all point to a dark but visually impactful aesthetic that incorporates elements of traditional fantasy painting while integrating modern digital art expression techniques.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of these images include extremely vivid red tones against dark backgrounds, creating a sense of tension and dramatic atmosphere. Characters and creatures have exaggerated features and expressions, with rich and sharp details. The light and shadow treatment is very intense, creating cinematic visual effects that make the images both striking and narrative. Material rendering is extremely detailed, with impressive textures whether depicting metal, leather, or fur. The overall style combines a sense of majesty and dynamism, with each scene appearing like the climactic moment of an epic story.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • High Contrast Lighting: Adding this keyword can further enhance the dramatic lighting already present in the images, making scenes more cinematic and creating stronger emotional impact
  • Detail Rendering: Using this word can make decorations, textures, and subtle features more refined, strengthening the overall sophistication and craftsmanship
  • Epic Scene: Adding this element enhances the grandeur and narrative quality of the image, giving it the impact and storytelling power of a blockbuster film

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for character designs and promotional art for dark fantasy games, heavy metal album covers, illustrations for epic fantasy novels, key art for action games, gothic fashion photography concepts, and movie posters requiring strong visual impact. It effectively conveys strong emotions and drama, being especially appropriate for scenarios that need to display power, conflict, or tense atmospheres.

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.
