What is Graphic Novel Ink SREF style

This distinct aesthetic captures the raw energy of high-contrast graphic novel illustrations and dark concept art. It is characterized by aggressive, visible brushwork, heavy inking, and deep, textural shadows that create dramatic chiaroscuro effects. The color scheme usually leans towards desaturated tones, using black, white, and cream, punctuated by striking accents of warm colors like burnt orange or deep red. When crafting a Midjourney prompt, including this style evokes intense emotionality and a tangible, almost printed visual quality, perfect for narrative scenes and compelling portraits.

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.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?
