Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of cyberpunk, retro-futurism, and 80s-90s Japanese anime aesthetics. It belongs to these style categories because it combines futuristic technological elements with nostalgic atmosphere, using bold neon color contrasts and grainy, textured image processing to create a visual impact that feels both cutting-edge and nostalgic.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this style include highly saturated color contrasts (especially purples, reds, and cyans), noticeable grain and noise effects, and a retro-inspired anime drawing style. The images have a strong atmospheric quality and emotional rendering, with dramatic lighting effects and vibrant colors that maintain a certain "dirtiness," creating a contradictory beauty that's both futuristic and vintage. This style is impressive because it successfully balances nostalgic emotion with futuristic elements while maintaining powerful visual impact.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Neon lighting: Adding this element can strengthen the light source contrasts and atmosphere in the image, enhancing the urban feel and dramatic quality of the cyberpunk style
  • Coarse grain film: Using this can enhance the retro quality, giving the image a texture and depth similar to old film stock
  • Vaporwave aesthetics: Pairing with this word can strengthen the nostalgic feel and surreal color treatment, adding a unique sense of temporal displacement

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi themed poster design, indie game art, music album covers, cyberpunk-style comics and illustrations, retro-futuristic product concept design, and narrative art pieces with strong emotion and atmosphere. It's also excellent for depicting urban nightscapes, future cities, and tech-infused character designs.

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.
