What is Graphic Novel SREF style

This aesthetic is characterized by bold, expressive linework combined with carefully selected, often muted or high-contrast color palettes, creating a strong illustrative impact akin to modern comic books or graphic novels. The texture is defined more by the density and quality of the ink lines than by blended shading. When using **Midjourney**, incorporating this into a **prompt** helps generate striking visuals where form is prioritized through outline work. This specific **style** excels at conveying mood and structure, making it effective for character concepts, atmospheric landscapes, and detailed interiors with a distinct 2D graphical feel.

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.
