What is Gothic Elegance Surrealism SREF style

Gothic Elegance Surrealism is a captivating artistic style that merges the dark, romantic aesthetics of Gothic culture with the dreamlike, illogical narratives of Surrealism. In Midjourney, this style produces images characterized by deep shadows, dramatic lighting, and a rich, moody color palette dominated by black and deep reds. Subjects often appear in elegant yet unconventional attire, striking poses in uncanny, atmospheric settings. To master this look, your prompt should evoke a sense of mystery and sophisticated decay, making it a powerful style for creating compelling character concepts and narrative scenes that are both beautiful and unsettling.

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.

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.
