What is Gothic Elegance SREF style

Gothic Elegance merges the dark, romantic allure of Gothic tradition with sophisticated refinement. This style is characterized by its deep, muted color palettes, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, and an air of mysterious melancholy. In Midjourney, applying this style transforms concepts into hauntingly beautiful visuals, often featuring pale figures in ornate, dark attire against shadowy backdrops. To achieve this look, a user's prompt should emphasize rich textures like velvet and lace, combined with a somber, emotional tone. The 'Gothic Elegance' style is perfect for creating evocative portraits, atmospheric scenes, and high-fashion concepts with a touch of the macabre.

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.
