This Week’s Top SREF Codes & More Precise Editing
Welcome to your weekly dose of AI inspiration.
As always, we’ve curated a collection of stunning SREF codes to help you break out of creative blocks and discover unique visual languages—from “New Chinese Gongbi” to “Digital Surrealism.”
But before we dive into this week’s styles, we have a major update: We’ve launched a drawing/graffiti feature on our website. This allows you to edit images by drawing your own text instead of using prompts, giving you the power of precise image editing.
Okay, let’s dive into this week’s curated styles.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This SREF style is a fascinating “New Chinese Gongbi Fantasy”. It ingeniously blends the traditional Chinese Gongbi painting techniques with the retro charm of 1920-30s Shanghai Yuefenpai (calendar posters), while incorporating the soft texture of modern Airbrush Illustration.
Why do we say this? You can see that this style inherits the delicate outlining lines of Gongbi painting (”Bone Method”), but it softens the stark black-and-white contrast of traditional ink wash. Instead, it employs a color filling method similar to the Art Nouveau style of Alphonse Mucha. In terms of color, it extensively uses a mineral color palette similar to Dunhuang murals—such as azurite blue, malachite green, and cinnabar—but treated with low saturation and a dreamlike quality, much like pastels.
🌟🌟🌟🌟
This SREF style is a highly immersive combination of “Digital Surrealism” and “Luminous Particle Art”.
Visually, it strongly evokes the highly polished 3D rendered works found in Octane Render or Unreal Engine 5. Instead of mimicking a single traditional painting school, this style borrows from the composition of Magical Realism—placing everyday or symbolic objects (such as vending machines, torii gates, door frames) into a void, dark, or cosmic background.
Its core characteristic lies in the “Materialization of Light”: light is no longer just an illumination tool but becomes the protagonist of the scene. You can see light manifesting as countless tiny particles, stardust, or liquid streams, covering object surfaces or reflecting on water-like media. This style utilizes extreme contrast (Chiaroscuro), highlighting incredibly vivid oranges, golds, and electric blues against a deep dark background, creating an atmosphere that is both lonely and warm, sci-fi and dreamlike. It is impressive because it touches upon the human instinct for the “unknown” and “light,” creating a serene beauty akin to being in a Lucid Dream.
🌟🌟🌟
This sref style presents an extremely distinct “Retro Risograph & Blue Ink Style”.
Visually, it perfectly fuses the characteristics of Japanese Minimalist Doodles with children’s book illustrations. This style conveys a strong artistic appeal by simulating the beauty of defects found in physical media. Its core feature lies in mimicking the ink bleed effects of a Risograph or ink on rough paper.
