What is Lyrical Contours SREF style

Lyrical Contours is a distinctive artistic style characterized by its bold outlines filled with intricate, flowing lines and patterns. This technique transforms subjects into mesmerizing tapestries of texture, reminiscent of topographical maps or natural wood grain. The lines move with a rhythmic quality, defining form while adding profound depth. In Midjourney, using this as a descriptor in your prompt generates visually stunning illustrations where every surface becomes a canvas for detailed exploration. It's perfect for creating portraits, natural scenes, and abstract concepts with a unique, handcrafted, and meditative aesthetic.

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?
