What is Visceral Shadow SREF style

This style captures raw emotional intensity through rough textures, visible brushstrokes, and a predominantly dark, desaturated color palette. In this visual language, figures and scenes often appear obscured or blurred, suggesting memory or internal turmoil. When crafting a **prompt** for **Midjourney**, focusing on terms like "heavy impasto," "smudged," and "somber lighting" helps capture this powerful **style**. The resulting images feel immediate, moody, and deeply textural, ideal for conveying profound human narratives or atmospheric landscapes.

  • Still life of antique mechanical parts contrasted with fragile roses, dark background, visible canvas texture, Moody Figurative Painting
  • Portrait of an old man looking directly at the viewer, dramatic shadows, rough brushwork, somber mood, hyper-textured oil painting
  • Abstracted landscape of a desolate shore under a grey sky, thick layers of paint, deep indigo and charcoal washes, cinematic composition

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.
