Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Impressionism, Romanticism, and Fantasy Realism. The images feature strong emotional expression and dramatic effects, with bold yet layered use of color while maintaining a foundation in realism. It belongs to these style categories because the works show attention to detail without being constrained by complete photorealism, instead using exaggerated lighting and color to convey emotion and atmosphere.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this style include rich textural representation, strong emotional color contrasts, and dramatic light and shadow treatment. The images typically have a dreamlike quality without completely departing from reality, with carefully rendered surface textures and details that don't obsess over photographic accuracy. What makes this style impressive is its ability to maintain recognizability while artistically transforming ordinary scenes into visual experiences with epic qualities and emotional depth.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dramatic lighting: Adding this keyword enhances the contrast between light sources and shadows, creating a deeper, emotionally richer atmosphere
  • Textural detail: Using this word reinforces the textures and subtle variations on object surfaces, making the image more three-dimensional and tactile
  • Emotional tone: Adding this element strengthens the overall emotional foundation of the work through specific color tendencies, creating stronger resonance with viewers

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for narrative illustrations requiring emotional depth, literary book covers, movie posters, premium brand advertising, game character design, and any visual creation needing both realism and artistic expression. It can give ordinary scenes an epic quality and is especially effective for depicting characters' inner emotions or mythological subjects.

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.
