Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Eastern ink painting, dark fantasy, and modern illustrative art. It combines the flowing quality and mistiness of ink paintings, the mysterious atmosphere of fantasy art, and the refined textures of modern digital painting. This style belongs to these categories because it maintains the ethereal quality of ink work while infusing Western fantasy mystical elements, all realized through modern digital techniques that allow for subtle light and shadow variations.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include a balance between dreamlike and somber qualities, presenting an "elegant dark aesthetic." Features include semi-transparent smoke effects, soft blue-gray color palettes, delicate contrast between light and dark, and fluid, water-like linework. This style is impressive because it creates a mysterious atmosphere while maintaining poetic elegance, giving viewers a visual experience that feels both profound and lightweight.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Ethereal: Pairing with this word enhances the lightness and surreal qualities in the work, making scenes more dreamlike and otherworldly
  • Monochromatic: Using this word reinforces the unity of the blue-gray palette, increasing the dramatic quality and emotional depth of the image
  • Luminous: Adding this element creates subtle light sources within dark backgrounds, improving the overall mystery and layered dimensionality

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fantasy novel covers, mythological game art, music album artwork, poetry book illustrations, meditation app interfaces, high-end perfume or jewelry advertisements, and any visual creation that needs to express mysterious, elegant, or supernatural 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.
