SREF 381297462 – Vintage Comic Engraving & Graphic Novel Style | MidJourney Style Guide

What Does SREF 381297462 Look Like?

Inked by the Sun, Shaded by Time

SREF 381297462 captures the dusty charm of vintage comic books and pulp illustrations—where every shadow is hatched and every ray of light looks like it was printed in 1963. With its aged paper tones, stipple textures, and bold inking, this style feels like a lost graphic novel about nature, solitude, and quiet cities under cosmic skies.

It’s part newspaper nostalgia, part indie zine grit.

Style Summary:

  • Color Palette: Yellowed paper, salmon pink, dusty orange, ink black, faded red. Feels sun-aged and hand-printed.

  • Mood: Retro, dramatic, slightly surreal. A calm apocalypse from a mid-century zine.

  • Texture/Lighting: Stipple, halftone dots, bold linework. Flat color fills and shadow blocks with strong contrast.

    • 1970s graphic posters
