What is Graphic Relief SREF style

The style is Linocut, characterized by its bold, graphic contrast between solid black areas and the white substrate, achieved through expressive carving and incised lines for texture and shading. This aesthetic prioritizes strong forms over subtle tonal gradations, often mimicking the look of woodblock printing. When crafting a prompt for this look in Midjourney, specifying "linocut style" or "relief print" immediately invokes this high-contrast, linear texture. It is a powerful style for creating dramatic portraits, stylized landscapes, and graphic still lifes with raw energy.

Graphic Relief Prompt Ideas

  • A futuristic cityscape at night, rendered in high-contrast linocut style, dramatic shadows
  • A portrait of a wise old wizard, deep focus, intricate cross-hatching linocut texture, monochrome
  • A still life of exotic fruit and tea set, linocut print, bold black outlines, minimalist composition
  • A surreal desert landscape with massive floating monoliths, strong graphic linocut style, high contrast

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?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
