Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Surrealism and Dark Aesthetic, with strong Concept Art characteristics. It belongs to Surrealism due to its dreamlike textures and non-realistic lighting effects; the Dark Aesthetic is evident in the deep color palette and mysterious atmosphere creation; while Concept Art features are shown through meticulous material rendering and powerful visual impact.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this SREF are exceptional material texture representation and dramatic light-shadow contrasts. The images predominantly use dark tones with localized highlights or reflective effects, creating a visual experience that is both refined and mysterious. Material rendering is incredibly realistic, whether metal, glass, or liquid, all presented with near-photographic quality. This style is impressive because it maintains artistic value while achieving extremely high technical execution standards.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • cinematic lighting: Further enhances dramatic lighting effects, giving images more cinematic quality
  • hyperrealistic textures: Pushes material representation to extremes, increasing visual realism and impact
  • mystical atmosphere: Adding this element elevates overall mystery and artistic expression, making works more poetic

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for luxury brand visual design, concept art creation, game environment design, and artistic photography post-processing. In advertising design, it can create luxurious and mysterious brand images; in game art, it can create captivating fantasy worlds; in artistic creation, it can express deep emotions and philosophical contemplation.

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

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.
