If you're chasing that Blade Runner aesthetic, stop searching. I just tested Style Reference 1448668210 in Midjourney v6, and the results are absolute fire. It is a pure injection of Cyberpunk futurism mixed with Neo-noir grit. Think rain-soaked streets, blinding neon magenta, and deep cinematic shadows. It perfectly captures that "High-tech, Low-life" atmosphere. Why this style is a game-changer for creators: ⚡ Instant Sci-Fi World Building: Perfect for game concept art and environment design. ⚡ Cinematic Pop: Creates movie-poster quality visuals with built-in bloom effects and chromatic aberration. ⚡ Synthwave Vibes: Ideal for EDM album covers or tech branding that needs to stand out. You don't need complex lighting prompts; this sref handles the contrast and neon reflections automatically. Want to try this style on your own ideas? I've put the direct link to the full prompt and code in the comments below. Click through to grab it and start creating. #midjourney #AIart #Cyberpunk #DesignInspiration #sref

Create a 2:1 premium cinematic character identity board using Image A as the sole character and style reference. Match the exact identity, proportions, hairstyle, outfit, colors, medium, linework, shading, and texture without redesigning the character. Reserve the right 25 percent for a full-height edge-to-edge hero portrait. Reserve the left 10 percent for four clearly separated expression portraits using front, left three-quarter, right three-quarter, and side-profile angles. Use the center 65 percent for one large front-facing hero full-body pose plus back, side, top-down, and low-angle body studies. Keep every study fully visible, separated, anatomically correct, and consistent. Use a clean contrasting background with no labels, arrows, logos, extra characters, alternate costumes, overlapping figures, or style drift.
