What is Graphic Novel Illustration SREF style

This aesthetic captures the intricate detailing found in high-end sequential art and graphic novels. It is defined by sharp, heavy black inking that outlines all forms, contrasted with rich, saturated color fields often overlaid with fine hatching or cross-hatching textures. Achieving this dynamic style in Midjourney requires a prompt emphasizing strong line work and textural complexity. The result is artwork that feels both traditionally drawn and intensely modern, perfect for visual storytelling or dramatic character studies.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?
