What is Arcane Painting SREF style

Inspired by the hit animated series, the Arcane Painting style is a unique fusion of 2D painterly aesthetics and 3D model-like definition. This Midjourney style excels at creating emotionally resonant characters and atmospheric scenes with its signature dramatic lighting, chiseled features, and gritty yet polished textures. Using this in a prompt generates powerful, high-detail images that capture a modern animation feel. It's fantastic for striking portraits and concept art, blending realism with expressive, illustrative linework for a distinct, recognizable look.

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.
