Using –sref for realistic AI art in MidJourney helps unleash imaginative representations like the pen and ink drawing of a golden koi fish seamlessly gliding through dark waters. Influenced by the illustrative techniques of notable artists from Kim Jung Gi to Moebius and Studio Ghibli, this artwork captivates with its high-contrast imagery, where light and dark intonations starkly outline the koi’s vibrant scales and undulating motion. Thick strokes of colored pencils enhance the visual texture, adding depth and nuanced details to the scales and eyes of the fish. The dynamic angle and rough, comic book style lines merge with a background animated with swirling black waves and sporadic bubbles, providing a perspective that feels both energetic and whimsically surreal. This fusion of styles creates an anime-like aesthetic that leaves an impression of both movement and ethereal beauty.
