Today I want to share this new anime style reference with you all: --sref 5321982507 It’s a dark seinen anime with a 90s OVA aesthetic and a modern cinematic treatment. This style stands out for its highly cinematic framing (high angles, low angles), simulated depth of field, volumetric lighting, digital gouache/oil-style shading, strong contrast between warm highlights and cool backgrounds, and stylized, expressive violence. Hope you enjoy it
Refinement notes
Replace the central subject first, then adjust its pose, action, expression, or relationship to the scene.
Change the viewpoint, crop, negative space, light direction, and contrast before layering on more style words.
The saved reference uses 1:1. Change the aspect ratio to match the final placement before refining small details.
Keep exploring
