Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Pointillism and Woodcut prints, while maintaining the simplified narrative quality of Children's Book Illustrations. The texture created by the accumulation of dots produces a dense and intricate visual effect, as if the images were "carved" out of countless small points rather than traditional lines or color blocks. This style gives a handcrafted feel while maintaining the simplicity of black and white contrast.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent feature of these images is the use of dense black dots to build the entire picture, creating strong black and white contrast. Each object is composed of countless small points, with variations in dot density creating depth and volume. All images adopt the same black and white color scheme without grayscale transitions, giving the pictures paper-cut-like clear outlines. The large eyes and simplified forms create a warm yet slightly fantastical feeling, while maintaining a handcrafted simplicity. This style is impressive because it creates complex and intricate details through simple dot patterns, forming a unique visual texture.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dot Matrix Art: Enhances the distribution pattern of dots in the image, making the arrangement more orderly or artistic, increasing the overall intricacy
  • Black and White Contrast: Further emphasizes the relationship between light and dark, making the image more dramatic and visually impactful
  • Fairy Tale Elements: Adds more fantastical and warm atmosphere to this style, strengthening its narrative quality and emotional connection

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, indie game art, branding design for literary cafés or bookstores, cover illustrations for poetry collections or short stories, and poster designs with fantastical or nostalgic themes. Its unique handcrafted texture and black-white contrast also make it appropriate for independent music album covers or promotional materials for artistic exhibitions.

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.

There are many Midjourney Sref galleries online, but promptsref.com is my go-to resource. If you're looking for a comprehensive collection of Midjourney Srefs, this is the only website you need.
