What is Engraving SREF style

This visual aesthetic mimics detailed classical engraving or etching, characterized by dense cross-hatching used to render shadow and texture, often printed on lightly textured paper. The selective use of vibrant red ink alongside fine black lines creates a striking, sophisticated contrast against the negative space. To achieve this intricate look in **Midjourney**, incorporate terms like "cross-hatched illustration" or "intaglio print." Mastering this demanding **style** requires specific **prompt** engineering to ensure the line work remains crisp and the limited color application is highly effective for artistic impact.

Engraving Prompt Ideas

  • A detailed still life of vintage apothecary jars and scientific tools, fine line illustration, high contrast, selective crimson ink highlights
  • Panoramic view of an ancient overgrown ruin landscape, heavy cross-hatching technique, monochromatic etching with subtle red accents denoting sunset or fire
  • Close-up of an antique clock mechanism intertwined with organic roots, highly detailed pen and ink drawing, deep textural shading

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.
