What is Shozo Shimamoto Midjourney Prompt

Shozo Shimamoto was a pioneering Japanese artist and co-founder of the avant-garde Gutai group, famed for his radical 'action painting.' His method involved smashing bottles of paint against the canvas, creating explosive and highly textured art. When you use the Shozo Shimamoto style in a Midjourney prompt, the AI channels this raw energy, producing images with vibrant color splashes, dramatic splatters, and a profound sense of motion. This approach is perfect for creating dynamic abstract pieces or adding an unpredictable, energetic texture to any subject, celebrating the beauty found in destruction and chance.

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.
