Most SREF codes are filters. They adjust the tone, the palette, the mood — but they leave the structure of your prompt intact. SREF 3771 is different.
SREF 3771 renders any subject in pointillist style. Dots and small marks compose the image, monochromatic depth, and a sense of artistic texture define the output. Subjects feel impressionistic, textured, and contemplative.
Visual Identity
The 5 Signatures of SREF 3771
Every image generated with this code carries these markers, regardless of the subject.
01
Pointillist Technique
Images composed of dots, marks, and texture. No solid lines.
02
Monochromatic Depth
Black, white, grey with dense dot patterns creating dimension.
03
Impressionistic Quality
Details merge into forms when viewed from distance.
04
Textured Surface
Every mark visible. Tactile, haptic quality to the image.
05
Contemplative Mood
The slow pointillist process imbues images with thoughtfulness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is pointillism?
An art technique using small dots or marks to compose the image. Seurat and Signac pioneered it. SREF 3771 applies it to any subject.
Does SREF 3771 add color?
No — exclusively monochromatic. The composition comes from dot density and texture, not color.
Why is it called "Dotted Wanderer"?
It suggests a contemplative journey expressed through pointillist marks — slow, thoughtful, built from small accumulated moments.
Is SREF 3771 good for character work?
Yes — especially for thoughtful, introspective, or melancholic characters. The texture imbues portraits with contemplation.
What aspect ratio works best?
Square (1:1) for balanced pointillist composition. Also works for portrait (3:4) or landscape (16:9).
