Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of dark expressionism with abstract deconstructivism. It creates a visual experience between reality and abstraction through blurred boundaries, fragmented forms, and strong black and white contrasts. The style appears to scatter concrete images and then reassemble them, giving viewers a feeling that is both familiar and strange, like fragments from memories or dreams.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of these images are the strong black and white contrast and splash-ink effects, where figures seem torn apart or deconstructed by some force while maintaining recognizable basic outlines. The edges of the forms exhibit splattered, scraped textures that create a sense of movement and instability. This style is impressive because it successfully balances chaos and order, allowing viewers to experience emotional tension and uneasiness.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Deconstructivism: Adding this word can enhance the visual effect of objects being decomposed and reassembled, giving the images more sense of fragmentation and layering
  • Ink Rendering: Using this can strengthen the quality of ink splashing and permeating throughout the image, increasing the work's fluidity and spontaneity
  • Erosion Effect: Adding this element enhances the fragmented feeling at the edges of the image, as if worn away by time or some force, elevating the work's dramatic quality and narrative depth

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for psychological thriller movie posters, dark-themed music album covers, avant-garde fashion photography, experimental theater promotions, dystopian game art, and art exhibitions exploring deep issues like inner struggle or identity. It effectively conveys atmospheres of tension, unease, or mystery.

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.

There are many Midjourney Sref galleries online, but promptsref.com is my go-to resource. If you're looking for a comprehensive collection of Midjourney Srefs, this is the only website you need.
