What is Retro Character Design SREF style

Retro Character Design captures a nostalgic yet modern illustrative feel, reminiscent of polished 1950s animation concept art. This **style** is characterized by soft, slightly desaturated pastel palettes, often favoring mint greens, warm oranges, and subtle earthy tones. It employs clean linework mixed with painterly textures, resulting in images that feel both vintage and highly detailed. When using this aesthetic in a **Midjourney** **prompt**, you can expect beautifully composed scenes and expressive characters with a distinct, inviting warmth.

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?
