What is Cinematic Darkscape SREF style

This aesthetic embodies the intense, often unsettling atmosphere of **Dark Fantasy**. It is defined by its dramatic use of saturated colors, particularly deep reds, juxtaposed against heavy shadows and moody, high-contrast lighting setups. Achieving this rich visual tapestry in **Midjourney** often requires specifying cinematic camera angles and intricate detailing in your **prompt**. This particular **style** merges photorealistic rendering with elements of the macabre and the sublime, creating scenes that feel both beautiful and ominous.

  • An ornate wooden table set for a ritual, featuring a human skull centerpiece surrounded by burning red candles and bruised apples, deep shadows, hyperdetailed, inspired by occult photography
  • An epic scene of a lone traveler approaching a towering, ruined structure in a vast field of dark red flowers, dramatic gradient sky, painterly yet photorealistic texture

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.
