Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Cyberpunk Aesthetics and Cinematic Photography techniques. It draws from the iconic neon color palettes and futuristic atmosphere characteristic of cyberpunk art, while employing film-grade lighting and shadow treatment. The style also incorporates Synthwave visual elements, creating nostalgic 1980s retro-futuristic vibes through gradient colors. Overall, it presents a dreamlike quality that exists between reality and virtuality, perfectly aligned with contemporary digital art's pursuit of emotional expression and visual impact.

Style Characteristics

The most distinctive features of this SREF are its dramatic color gradients and cinematic lighting effects. Works consistently feature warm color transitions from purple-pink to orange tones, creating romantic twilight atmospheres. The lighting treatment is exceptionally refined, combining soft ambient illumination with strong spotlight effects, making every element appear professionally lit. This style is impressive because it transforms everyday scenes into emotionally charged visual poetry, maintaining both modernity and warmth, particularly effective for expressing nostalgia, romance, or dreamlike moods.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • cinematic lighting: Further enhances the film-quality feel, creating richer and more dimensional lighting layers
  • retrowave aesthetic: Strengthens the 1980s retro-futuristic qualities, adding nostalgic atmosphere
  • gradient sunset: Improves overall color harmony, making gradient effects more natural and captivating

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for music album cover design, game concept art, fashion brand promotional posters, and social media visual content. It also performs excellently in movie posters, sci-fi themed illustrations, and commercial designs requiring romantic or nostalgic atmospheres. Due to its strong emotional expressiveness, this style is also perfect for personal artistic creation and concept design presentations.

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.
