What is Relief Carving SREF style

This style captures the stark contrast and texture of traditional relief printing methods like woodcut or linocut. It is characterized by strong black lines, heavy shading achieved through parallel lines (hatching) and dot patterns (stippling), all set against a muted background. When crafting a prompt in Midjourney, specifying this style yields dramatic, graphic results perfect for bold imagery or vintage aesthetics. This technique emphasizes form and deep shadows, creating visually arresting compositions that look hand-carved.

  • Close-up portrait of a distinguished gentleman, strong texture, dramatic chiaroscuro shading using fine stippling and cross-hatching, woodcut engraving style
  • Vintage porcelain teapot and spiky succulent plants on a desk, graphic black ink illustration, negative space used effectively, classic woodcut technique

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.
