What is Pulp Illustration SREF style

This aesthetic captures the bold, dramatic energy of vintage science fiction and fantasy paperback covers, often associated with the 1970s and 80s. It features hyper-saturated, almost glowing colors—dominated by intense blues, oranges, and deep space blacks—creating extreme visual contrast. Lighting is dramatic and synthetic, reminiscent of airbrush work. When utilizing this specific **style** in **Midjourney**, you achieve richly textured, highly detailed scenes mixing surreal landscapes, stylized portraits, and cosmic elements. To effectively replicate this look in your **prompt**, utilize keywords like 'airbrushed,' 'hyper-detailed,' and 'vibrant cosmic saturation.'

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?
