Tips for Style Reference 💡
Contrary to what some may believe, the Style Reference is quite different from Image Reference.
For Style Reference, you do not need to give a similar image as reference. It focuses on the style, meaning the lighting, the mood and the overall tones

This prompt for a muted tone is great for creating eerie and mysterious scenes, aka the Silent Hill scene
