Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of illustrative art, watercolor painting, and Japanese anime aesthetics. The fluid lines, vivid color contrasts, and detailed character rendering showcase the essence of illustrative art. The watercolor-like rendering creates a dreamlike, layered visual quality, while incorporating characteristic design elements and expressiveness from anime. This fusion gives the work both the texture of traditional painting and the visual appeal of modern animation.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include emotionally expressive rich colors, dramatic light and shadow contrasts, and refined, dynamic linework. The watercolor-like background treatment creates a striking contrast with the detailed character rendering. This style is impressive because it successfully combines dreamlike atmospheres with precise detail work, making the images both artistic and narrative-driven, simultaneously evoking emotional resonance and visual pleasure.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Watercolor rendering: Pairing with this word enhances the flowing color transitions and dreamlike quality, giving backgrounds more artistic atmosphere
  • Dynamic composition: Using this word reinforces movement and dramatic tension, making character poses and scenes more vibrant
  • Emotional lighting: Adding this element improves the work's emotional expressiveness, enhancing narrative quality and impact through thoughtful light treatment

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for manga cover design, sci-fi or fantasy-themed illustrations, animated film posters, game character design, and narrative illustrations requiring strong emotional expression. It effectively conveys dramatic storylines and character emotions while maintaining high artistic expressiveness, making it ideal for creative contexts that need both visual impact and narrative depth.

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.
