What is Graphic Novel SREF style

This aesthetic is defined by heavy, assertive black outlines combined with flat or slightly shaded areas of color, mimicking the look of modern, high-production graphic novels or stylized animated series. It provides crisp visual separation and high readability, making it an excellent choice for dynamic scenes. To achieve this look in Midjourney, incorporating terms like "bold ink lines" and "cel shading" within your prompt is crucial to capture this distinct visual style. The rendering emphasizes form and narrative clarity over photorealism.

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)?
