What is Gothic Ink SREF style

This distinctive style is characterized by stark, high-contrast black and white compositions utilizing rough, scratchy line work reminiscent of old engravings or woodcuts. It conveys a deeply moody, often melancholic or macabre atmosphere through dramatic use of shadow and texture. When crafting a prompt for Midjourney, incorporating terms like "ink drawing," "stark contrast," or "woodcut effect" helps achieve this powerful style. It excels at creating evocative portraits, dark landscapes, and symbolic still lifes, making it perfect for thematic dark art generation.

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.
