Art Style Type

This SREF style blends dark realism, dramatic baroque aesthetics, and Eastern mythological art elements. It belongs to these categories due to its extreme contrast between light and shadow, dramatic composition and poses, while maintaining detailed realistic elements and mystical Eastern aesthetic qualities. The style resembles the "dark realism" school found in concept art and fantasy illustration, but with added elements of mysticism and ceremonial quality.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include:

  • Rich dramatic lighting with strong contrast between light and shadow
  • Hyper-realistic texture representation, especially in skin, metal, and fabric materials
  • Mysterious and ceremonial atmosphere
  • Deep, saturated color palette dominated by dark backgrounds with accents of gold and red
  • Intricate depiction of flowing elements like smoke and fire, adding dynamism and mystique

This style is impressive because it perfectly balances supernatural mystical elements with technically refined realism, creating a visual experience that is both striking and lifelike.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Mythological Ritual: Enhances the mysterious atmosphere and ceremonial elements in the work, making characters more epic and sacred
  • Dramatic Lighting: Strengthens the extreme contrast between light and shadow, creating more dramatic and three-dimensional visual effects
  • Dynamic Smoke: Adds more flowing smoke, fire, or energy effects to enhance the overall sense of movement and mysterious atmosphere

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for:

  • Fantasy game character design and promotional art
  • Epic mythological-themed book or movie posters
  • Visual novel or animation concept art based on Eastern mythology
  • Dark-themed tabletop game character card illustrations
  • Mysterious or ceremonial music album cover designs

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.
