Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of dark gothic comics with neo-noir film aesthetics. It adopts the strong linework and dramatic composition from comic art while incorporating the somber atmosphere and tonal contrast of neo-noir cinema. The style evokes the work of artists like Frank Miller or Sean Murphy, known for their deep emotional expression and distinctive visual language.

Style Characteristics

These images feature strong chiaroscuro (light and dark contrast) and a limited color palette, predominantly using dark tones with occasional vibrant colors to highlight focal points. The brushwork is detailed yet expressive, with confident linework that gives the images a strong sense of drama and narrative. The handling of light and shadow is exceptional, using darkness to create mystery while maintaining recognizable details. This style is impressive because it creates intense mood and tension through minimal colors and powerful contrast.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Dark narrative illustration: Can further enhance the dramatic and storytelling aspects of the images, making scenes more cinematic and tense
  • High-contrast line art: Using this reinforces the clarity of outlines and strength of lines in the image, making the work sharper and more impactful
  • Neo-noir color grading: Adding this element unifies the overall color scheme and atmosphere, enhancing the emotional expression and artistic quality of the work

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for crime or mystery-themed comics and graphic novels, film posters and promotional materials, atmospheric concept art for video games, dark fantasy or superhero-themed illustrations, and narrative advertising design that requires strong emotional expression.

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

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.
