What is Hatchwork Illustration SREF style

This style is characterized by meticulous cross-hatching and parallel linework used to define volume, shadow, and intricate textures, strongly reminiscent of classic 20th-century adventure book covers or detailed etching prints. The colors are typically vibrant yet slightly offset by the underlying linear texture, creating a unique visual depth. When crafting a Midjourney prompt to replicate this look, incorporating terms like "engraved illustration," "detailed crosshatching," and "vibrant flat colors" is crucial for achieving the desired analog, textured output. This technique provides a powerful alternative to smooth digital rendering.

  • Dramatic alien landscape with towering rock spires under a teal sky, heavy emphasis on line work for foliage and clouds, printed look

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.
