Create “A Ginger Girl with a Black Cat” of Roger Haus in different styles
Hey everyone! 👋✨ Ready to jump into the wild world of AI art today?
If you’ve been riding the AI wave with us, you know that Midjourney burst onto the scene in March 2022, quickly becoming the go-to tool for AI-powered image creation. We’ve been right there with you, exploring every version, feature, and glitch (let’s be honest).
Fast forward to January 2024, and they’ve dropped something new, revolutionary, and shiny: Midjourney’s Style Reference, or SREF.
Now, you might’ve noticed some folks selling their SREF codes like hotcakes and thought, “What’s the big deal? And should I be getting in on this?” Spoiler: Yes, yes, you should.
We’re here to make your creative life easier, more fun, and maybe even a bit more profitable. So in this article, we’re breaking down:
- what SREF is all about
- how you can use it to level up your artistic experiments (super easy!)
- how to make some cash with them
- And because we love you, we’re also handing over 64 FREE SREF codes — no strings attached.
- Dive into these codes and join us on a fun exploration of Roger Haus’s viral AI artwork, “Ginger Girl with a Black Cat.”
We’ll guide you through imagining your very own “Ginger Girl with a Black Cat” in various styles as a hands-on learning experiment.
Ready to up your AI game? Let’s get started!
What is the Style Reference( — sref)?
Think of the Style Reference feature as a magic button that lets you apply the visual style of any image you like to your new creations. Whether you’re an artist, photographer, or just someone who enjoys playing around with visuals, this tool is your new best friend for keeping things consistently stylish or for experimenting with wildly different looks.
Each style is identified by a special code, which you can use again and again to achieve consistent results. The magic formula looks like this:
/imagine prompt --sref _______
For example:
/imagine prompt:
A Ginger Girl with a Black Cat
--sref 123456789
Maybe you want to see your “Ginger Girl with a Black Cat” with the soft, dreamy glow of an Impressionist painting, or perhaps with the stark, moody contrast of film noir. It’s like having your very own digital stylist on call 24/7, ready to blend aesthetics, moods, and atmospheres into your work with just a few clicks.
💡 Depending on how elaborated is your original prompt, you might end up with anything from a whimsical, fairy-tale-like scene to the gritty, urban visuals. Feel free to experiment and search your very best prompt!
How can you use SREFs?
- First up, when you came up with your favourite prompt, you can create your very own style for it. This means uploading an image you love and using it as a reference to shape the look and feel of your new AI-generated images. It can be your own hand-drawn watercolour or an illustration you like from a local library. Feel free to scroll through Pinterest for the inspiration!
/imagine prompt:
A Ginger Girl with a Black Cat
--sref [image_url]
2. Second, if you’re not in the mood to craft your style from scratch, you can use an SREF code from articles like this one. These codes are like style presets — tried and tested by other creators, ready for you to apply directly to your prompts. Just pop the code into your prompt, and you’re good to go!
/imagine prompt:
A Ginger Girl with a Black Cat
--sref use our exquisite codes
3. For those who enjoy a bit of surprise, you can go the random route. Use the --sref random
command, and Midjourney will generate a random style code for you from billions of options (and we are not exaggerating!). It’s a great way to discover new aesthetics and push your creative boundaries. It is like the best lottery ever!
/imagine prompt:
A Ginger Girl with a Black Cat
--sref random
or
/imagine prompt:
A Ginger Girl with a Black Cat
--sref type random numbers
4. For the advanced students: you can include multiple image URLs separated by spaces, for example: --sref url1 url2 url3
. For instance:
/imagine prompt:
A Ginger Girl with a Black Cat
--sref url1 url2 url3
Adjust SREF intensity by using the — sw (style weight) parameter, ranging from 0 to 1000, with a default value of 100. You are also welcome to adjust weights of images by adding double colons and a value after the image URL: --sref url1::2 url2::4.
/imagine prompt:
A Ginger Girl with a Black Cat
--sref url1::2 url2::4
So, how can you turn SREFs into cash?
If you find some particular SREFs that really resonate with you, you can start selling them! Here’s where things get exciting: you could create your own gallery as a digital product or even sell your AI-generated artworks as NFTs.
