What is Graphic Relief SREF style

Linocut style is characterized by bold outlines, strong contrast, and simplified shapes, often achieved through relief printing techniques. This aesthetic translates powerfully in generative AI, mimicking the look of hand-carved blocks using limited, vibrant color palettes—here dominated by intense reds and deep teals. When using this style in a Midjourney prompt, emphasize texture and sharp graphical separation rather than subtle gradients. It’s ideal for creating impactful posters, stylized portraits, and graphic landscapes where texture replacement defines the form.

Graphic Relief Prompt Ideas

  • Triptych of a vibrant rolling landscape under a large moon, high contrast linocut print, restricted palette of teal and coral
  • Close-up portrait of an ancient philosopher, expressive carving marks, bold red and white linocut style, deep texture
  • Still life of exotic fruits and pottery on a patterned cloth, bright teal and red linocut print, intricate texture filling shapes
  • A futuristic city skyline rendered entirely in a multi-layered linocut technique, limited color separation, highly graphic

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.
