Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of fantasy illustration art and digital painting, infused with strong Gothic architectural aesthetics. It belongs to the "dark fantasy" category within modern digital art, characterized by predominantly deep, somber tones as the foundation, punctuated by vibrant cyan-green magical light effects as visual focal points. This chiaroscuro treatment echoes classical oil painting's "light and shadow contrast" technique, but reinterpreted through modern digital technology to create visually mysterious and dramatically compelling effects.

Style Characteristics

The most distinctive feature of this SREF is its exceptional ability to create mysterious atmospheres. Images are consistently enveloped in deep blue-green tones, contrasted with warm golden light sources for striking visual impact. Magical light effects serve as the core element—glowing runes, energy fields, and mystical halos infuse scenes with supernatural charm. The architectural and environmental detailing is extraordinarily rich, with every stone block and pillar rendered with ancient, dignified texture. This style impresses because it successfully merges realistic architectural structures with supernatural magical elements, creating a visual experience that feels both familiar and mysteriously otherworldly.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • ancient runes: Pairing with this word intensifies the mystical runic and magical text effects, making magical elements more prominent and convincing
  • ethereal glow: Using this reinforces the transcendent quality of light effects, adding more dreamlike qualities to scenes
  • weathered stone: Adding this element enhances the aged character of architecture and environments, deepening the ancient, solemn atmosphere

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for fantasy game concept design, magic-themed book covers, tabletop game card illustrations, and fantasy film concept art. In the gaming industry, it's perfect for designing wizard towers, ancient ruins, magic academies, and similar RPG environments. For publishing, this style perfectly captures the mysterious locations found in fantasy novels. Additionally, it's well-suited for theme park visual design or immersive experience space concept development.

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.
