What is Surrealism SREF style

This visual composition exemplifies classic Surrealism, characterized by illogical scenes, juxtaposition of unrelated objects, and dream-like landscapes. The meticulous rendering, deep perspective, and vibrant yet melancholic blue and ochre color palette create a sense of mystery and deep subconscious exploration. When utilizing this style in Midjourney, incorporating terms like "Metaphysical landscape," "dream logic," or referencing masters like Dalí can significantly refine the output. A successful prompt should focus on bizarre yet meticulously detailed compositions to capture this specific aesthetic.

  • Hyper-detailed still life of exotic fruits in a golden chalice, resting on an abstract geometric platform, dramatic clouds
  • Portrait of a man whose mind opens to reveal a desert world structure, golden swirling ribbons, masterpiece quality

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?
