Art Style Type

This SREF style masterfully blends classic 2D animation cinema with modern digital painting techniques, particularly embodying the warm, humanistic qualities of traditional hand-drawn animation. It draws from the artistic traditions of Disney's golden age and contemporary animation studios, presenting a visual aesthetic that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. This style belongs to the "neo-classical animation" category, preserving the human touch of handcrafted artistry while leveraging the precision of digital technology.

Style Characteristics

What makes this style most compelling is its "warm humanization" quality. The color composition is gentle yet layered, neither overly vibrant nor dull, creating a comfortable viewing experience. Character designs strike a perfect balance between realism and stylization, making figures both approachable and aesthetically pleasing. The lighting treatment is particularly excellent, with soft light-shadow transitions that create dimensionality while maintaining the flat aesthetic characteristic of 2D animation. The overall composition is thoughtfully crafted with clear foreground-background separation, rich in detail but never cluttered.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • cinematic lighting: Enhances the dramatic light and shadow effects, giving scenes more cinematic quality and emotional depth
  • warm color palette: Further elevates the warm tonality of images, strengthening emotional resonance and viewer comfort
  • hand-drawn texture: Adding hand-drawn qualities strengthens the artistic atmosphere of traditional animation, bringing more human warmth and artistic value

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for family-oriented animated movie posters, children's book illustrations, warm-themed brand design, and public service materials that need to convey human care. In game art, it's perfect for story-driven indie games, family entertainment game character design, and scene concept art. Additionally, this style works excellently for educational content visualization and corporate culture promotional materials.

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.
