Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of illustration art, flat design, and Japanese manga aesthetics. It adopts techniques similar to those used by Japanese illustrators—minimalist yet expressive—while incorporating the bold color contrasts of modern flat design. This style evokes the intersection of contemporary independent comics and children's book illustrations, delivering strong visual impact and emotional expression.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent features of this style are its bold, vibrant color palette and simplified linework. Each image employs highly saturated contrasting colors that create a rich yet harmonious visual experience. The lines are clean and decisive, with clear contours that reduce forms to their most recognizable elements. Shading is predominantly flat, avoiding complex dimensionality in favor of creating spatial depth through the juxtaposition of color blocks. The overall atmosphere is warm, positive, and slightly nostalgic. What makes this style impressive is how it conveys rich emotions and storytelling through simple visual elements.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Illustrator style: Pairing with this word enhances the hand-drawn quality and personal artistic expression, making the images feel more human and original
  • Vibrant palette: Using this word can further reinforce the joyful and bright color schemes that define this visual style
  • Emotional atmosphere: Adding this element improves the narrative quality and emotional resonance, allowing viewers to connect more deeply with the imagery

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, emotional-themed posters, lifestyle brand visual designs, indie game art, mood-based app interfaces, and social media visual content. It effectively communicates complex emotions while maintaining a visually fresh and appealing aesthetic, making it perfect for creative contexts that need to convey warmth and a lighthearted positive atmosphere.

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.
