What is Reflective Surrealism SREF style

Reflective Surrealism is an artistic style that merges the bizarre, dream-like imagery of surrealism with the sleek, polished quality of reflective surfaces. It often features abstract, biomorphic sculptures or distorted scenes mirrored on materials like liquid chrome or obsidian glass, creating a sense of profound depth and uncanny reality. In Midjourney, applying this style results in visually arresting images, typically with high-contrast, dramatic lighting and a minimalist, often monochromatic palette. A well-crafted prompt can evoke anything from futuristic artifacts to subconscious landscapes, where the play of light and reflection becomes a central theme.

Reflective Surrealism Prompt Ideas

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.
