What is Visceral Inking SREF style

This style is characterized by bold, expressive linework, deep shadows (chiaroscuro), and heavy inking, reminiscent of modern gritty graphic novels. It uses high contrast and highly detailed textures to build an intense, narrative atmosphere. When crafting a prompt for Midjourney to evoke this look, including keywords like "heavy inks," "cross-hatching," and "dramatic contrast" is crucial. This approach yields visually striking results for character portraits and complex scenes, capturing a visceral energy specific to this style.

  • Still life of ancient alchemical jars filled with glowing liquids and strange specimens, dark moody lighting, detailed ink drawing style, high saturation
  • A lone figure overlooking a massive, crumbling futuristic city structure, dynamic composition, heavy shadow play, inspired by modern dark comics

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.
