Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Dark Gothic, Surrealism, and Neo-Baroque. It presents a mysterious and dramatic aesthetic through high contrast, intricate details, and surreal compositions that create an atmosphere both elegant and slightly unsettling. The style borrows from the mysticism of Gothic art, the fantastical elements of Surrealism, and the ornate textures of Baroque, while reimagining them through modern digital art techniques to deliver a fresh visual experience.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include extreme light-dark contrast, fusion of metallic and organic materials, intricate texture rendering, and an immersive dark atmosphere. The imagery employs predominantly black color schemes accented with gold, silver, and other metallic highlights, creating a visual effect that's both mysterious and luxurious. Each element displays exceptional detail precision, with textures, reflections, and patterns appearing remarkably lifelike. This style is impressive because it successfully creates beauty within darkness and uses masterful light manipulation to evoke a sense of otherworldly mystique.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dark Metallics: Pairing with this word enhances the fusion of metal and darkness in the work, bringing more dimensional and refined surface treatment effects
  • Gothic Mysticism: Using this word can intensify the mysterious atmosphere and ceremonial quality, strengthening the supernatural visual experience
  • Hyperrealistic Textures: Adding this element improves the overall tactile representation, making every detail in the image more tangibly real and enhancing visual impact

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for horror or fantasy game concept design, luxury brand mysterious-themed advertisements, music album covers (especially metal or gothic music), high-end jewelry or fashion photography artistic treatment, and movie poster designs that need to evoke a mysterious atmosphere. It's also excellent for creating character designs and scene illustrations featuring supernatural or mythological elements.

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.
