Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of cyberpunk, Japanese manga, and retro illustration. It features a unique mix of sci-fi futurism with nostalgic atmosphere, resembling the intersection between 80s-90s Japanese animation and modern illustration. The color application and line work evoke a combination of yellow-toned vintage comics and contemporary concept art, creating a "neo-retro" aesthetic.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent shared feature of these images is the vibrant yellow background coupled with meticulous line work. The lineart is extremely detailed with a technical quality, creating clear but not rigid outlines. The color palette is limited and consistent, dominated by yellow tones complemented by light greens, oranges, and soft neutral colors. The lighting is somewhat flat but with subtle layering, giving the impression of a blend between hand-drawn and digital art. The overall composition is clean yet powerful, rich in details without being cluttered, creating an atmosphere that feels both modern and nostalgic.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Line Art Style: Adding this keyword can emphasize the fine outlines and contours, enhancing the technical feel and hand-drawn quality
  • Retro Pop Colors: Using this can maintain the striking and unified color scheme, strengthening the visual impact
  • Concept Art: Adding this element improves the narrative quality and scene-setting, making the overall presentation more creative and profound

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi or cyberpunk-themed illustrations, character designs for indie games, music album covers, visual identity for trendy fashion brands, covers or feature illustrations for cultural magazines, and any creative project requiring a fusion of retro and modern sensibilities. It adds a unique atmosphere and mood to visually narrative works.

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.
