Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of futurism, sci-fi cyberpunk, and neo-retro aesthetics. It showcases a surreal technological feel through metallic textures, cool color schemes, and futuristic gear, while maintaining a vintage cinematic quality with film-like color grading and soft lighting effects. This balance makes it both cutting-edge and nostalgic.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of these images are dreamlike metallic surfaces and reflective effects, dominated by a cool teal-green color palette. Each image features carefully designed light sources that create soft yet dramatic atmospheres. The texture consistency is remarkable, resembling meticulously color-graded film scenes with a "wet" quality while maintaining a certain graininess that adds artistic texture. This style is impressive because it successfully merges high-tech futuristic elements with retro cinematic aesthetics, creating a visual experience that feels both alien and familiar.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic quality: Enhances the overall atmosphere and narrative feel, making the images more story-driven and immersive
  • Neon lighting: Reinforces the cyberpunk aesthetic with urban atmosphere and dramatic light contrasts
  • Retro-futurism: Balances futuristic elements with vintage sensibilities, adding temporal depth and artistic expression

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi movie posters, futuristic music album covers, high-end tech product advertisements, avant-garde fashion photography, and concept art design. It's also excellent for creating future-themed social media content and visual novel illustrations that appeal to audiences seeking cutting-edge visual experiences.

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

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.
