Art Style Type

This SREF style blends Japanese anime with modern illustration art, featuring strong cel-shaded animation aesthetics. It employs color processing and lighting effects similar to premium animated films while preserving the classic contours and expressiveness of 2D characters. The style evokes high-quality works from modern Japanese animation studios like Trigger or Madhouse, as it maintains the soul of traditional anime while incorporating the refined textures of contemporary digital painting.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of this style is its vibrant, multi-layered color palette, with bright blue skies creating sharp contrast with the characters. The lighting is highly dramatic, particularly the halo effects around character outlines that enhance the sense of motion and energy. Lines are fluid yet powerful, with character silhouettes that are crisp and distinct while maintaining the simplified and exaggerated qualities unique to anime. The overall composition is bold with impactful perspectives, delivering a cinematic visual experience.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dramatic lighting: Adding more light beams and halos enhances the characters' mystique and sense of power
  • Cloud detail: Incorporating more complex cloud structures can elevate the spatial depth and epic quality of the image
  • Dynamic poses: Emphasizing action lines and energy flow makes the composition more tense and dynamic

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for anime poster design, fighting game character illustrations, sci-fi or fantasy-themed digital art, and scenarios that need to express character energy and power. It also works excellently for mobile game promotional materials, comic book covers, or key visuals for animated films, instantly capturing the attention of target audiences.

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.
