What is Cinematic Gothic Dreamscapes SREF style

Cinematic Gothic Dreamscapes is a style that merges the dark, mysterious aesthetics of gothic art with the dramatic and immersive quality of film. In Midjourney, this style creates moody, atmospheric visuals characterized by deep shadows, high-contrast lighting, and a textured, often grainy finish. It’s perfect for generating scenes that feel both epic and ethereal, as if pulled from a surreal fantasy or a poignant horror film. Using a targeted prompt allows you to evoke a sense of melancholy beauty and narrative depth, turning your concepts into hauntingly beautiful dream-like worlds.

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.
