Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of neo-classical illustration with East Asian watercolor aesthetics. It combines the delicate textures of traditional painting with modern digital art techniques, resulting in a dreamlike, beautifully nostalgic aesthetic. The subtle color transitions and meticulous attention to detail evoke the warmth of traditional hand-drawn illustrations while maintaining the clarity and visual impact of contemporary digital art.

Style Characteristics

The common style characteristics across these images include soft lighting effects and intricate texture rendering. The color palette tends toward harmonious contrasts between warm and cool tones, with striking combinations of orange-red and blue particularly standing out. The images have a texture reminiscent of fine watercolor blended with colored pencil, featuring semi-transparent qualities and gentle edge transitions. Character depictions are exceptionally refined, with impressive detail in hair strands and a translucent quality to skin. The overall atmosphere carries a dreamlike, slightly melancholic beauty with fluid and elegant linework.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Watercolor texture: Adding this keyword enhances the semi-transparent effects and natural color blending in the images, bringing more artistic sensibility and hand-painted quality
  • Delicate lighting: Using this term can reinforce the subtle variations in light, creating a more three-dimensional and emotionally resonant atmosphere
  • Velvet finish: Adding this element improves the overall textural layering, making color transitions softer while enhancing visual luxury

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fantasy novel covers, character design, fashion illustrations, and premium brand identity design. Its refinement and emotional expressiveness make it perfect for contexts that need to convey dreamy, elegant, or emotionally rich content, such as game character portraits, fashion magazine illustrations, high-end product packaging, or music album covers requiring a unique artistic atmosphere.

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.
