Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Epic Fantasy, Romanticism, and Apocalyptic art. It presents dramatic scenes, intense emotional coloration, and a focus on contrasts between natural forces and human/supernatural beings, which are typical characteristics of Romanticism. At the same time, it features the grand scenes and mystical atmosphere common in Epic Fantasy art, plus the destructive visual elements found in Apocalyptic art.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of these images is their spectacular handling of light and shadow, especially the strong contrast between orange-red tones and deep blacks. The rendering of flames, clouds, and light rays is extremely detailed, creating an almost surreal atmospheric effect. Compositions tend to present grand scenes with relatively small subjects, emphasizing the overwhelming presence of natural forces. Each work has a suspended tension and drama, conveying emotion through intense radiation of light and vibrant colors. This style is impressive because it successfully captures an almost religious sense of the sublime and a romanticized treatment of apocalyptic aesthetics.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Epic atmosphere: Enhances the grandeur and drama of the scene, adding a cinematic spectacular effect
  • Molten light: Strengthens that molten, almost liquid light effect, elevating the heat and intensity of the image
  • Apocalyptic twilight: Enhances that end-of-the-world atmosphere while maintaining a surreal beauty

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fantasy game cover art, heavy metal album covers, epic movie posters, dark-themed board game illustrations, and any visual media that needs to convey a sense of apocalypse, grandeur, or supernatural forces. It's also perfect for fantasy literature book covers, especially those involving apocalypse, epic warfare, or religious/mythological themes.

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.
