What is Death Note Midjourney Prompt

The 'Death Note' style, inspired by the iconic manga, is known for its dark, gothic aesthetic and psychological tension. Characterized by Takeshi Obata's sharp, detailed line work and dramatic use of chiaroscuro, this style excels at creating a suspenseful and somber mood. In Midjourney, using a prompt with this style generates images with high contrast, intricate details, and a sense of intellectual drama. It's perfect for creating striking character portraits and moody scenes that feel both realistic and stylized, capturing the essence of the series' dark fantasy world.

Death Note Prompt Ideas

  • A brilliant young detective in a dimly lit, baroque library, poring over cryptic files, a single desk lamp casting long shadows, intense expression, in the manga style of Death Note --ar 2:3 --niji 6

  • A rain-slicked Tokyo street at night, neon signs reflecting off the puddles, gothic architecture looming between modern skyscrapers, moody and atmospheric, in the cinematic style of the Death Note anime --ar 3:2
  • Close-up portrait of a character with a dual personality, one side innocent and the other sinister, split by shadow, high contrast black and white with a single red accent in the eye, style of Takeshi Obata --ar 1:1
  • An abstract representation of justice and chaos, intertwining scales and chains against a stark background, detailed ink lines and cross-hatching, symbolic art in the style of Death Note --ar 4:5

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
