Ink and manga SREF codes build through line — not through color or tone. These codes enforce a strict hierarchy: mark-making as primary carrier of information, with everything else subordinate. They draw from the traditions of woodblock printing, comic art, and East Asian ink techniques to produce images where the quality of the line is the image.
Serenity in image-making requires restraint at every level: palette temperature stays cool or neutral, compositional energy resolves rather than builds, value transitions are gradual, and negative space is treated as active rather than empty. These codes impose that restraint as a rendering default.
This cluster contains 23 SREF codes in the full database. The 20 codes shown here were selected to represent the full visual range of the Ink & Manga / Serene combination.
Use the SREF code at the end of any Midjourney prompt. The style will override default rendering behavior.
Adjust --sw (0–1000) to control style intensity. Start at 500 and increase if the style feels weak.
