What is Araki SREF style

This aesthetic captures the highly distinctive visual presentation popularized by Hirohiko Araki's work in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It features striking, often lean character designs with strong jawlines and unique fashion sensibilities. The coloring is characterized by hyper-saturated, almost surreal palettes—using unexpected combinations of blues, pinks, and teals—juxtaposed with sharp, defined inking. When using this style in Midjourney, you must utilize a very specific prompt structure to capture the blend of fashion, drama, and high-contrast illumination that defines this iconic look. The result is dramatic, detailed, and deeply stylized illustration.

Araki Prompt Ideas

  • Portrait of a blonde gentleman in vibrant teal coat, holding two small lambs, dramatic saturated lighting, Araki illustration
  • Vast rolling green hills meeting a vibrant turquoise lake under a deep indigo sky with pink-edged clouds, highly detailed manga illustration, Araki aesthetic
  • Close-up of a pristine bunch of yellow bananas and ripe oranges on an ornate plate, sharp ink lines, vibrant flat color blocks, high contrast still life
  • Androgynous model posing dynamically in avant-garde formal wear, strong shadow work, vibrant 80s color scheme, reminiscent of Jojo manga

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?
