What is Graphic Novel SREF style

This visual approach is defined by dramatic contrast, sharp delineation between light and shadow, and a bold, graphic quality reminiscent of high-production comic books or sequential art. It employs simplified planes of color juxtaposed with detailed textures, creating an intense, almost cinematic mood. When using this **style** in a **Midjourney prompt**, focusing on lighting terms like 'chiaroscuro' or 'hard shadows' helps achieve this look. This technique allows for powerful emotional impact, making it an excellent choice for character portraits or dramatic scenes when refining your **prompt** engineering.

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.
