What is Monochrome Illumination SREF style

Monochrome Illumination is a style defined by its intricate black and white linework, reminiscent of classic engravings and detailed ink drawings. This technique emphasizes form and texture through meticulous cross-hatching and shading, creating a world of dramatic contrast and depth without color. When used in a Midjourney prompt, this style excels at producing highly detailed fantasy scenes, complex character portraits, and surreal landscapes. The 'Monochrome Illumination' style transforms simple ideas into sophisticated and timeless works of art, offering a distinct aesthetic that feels both classical and imaginative.

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?
