Observations

The style uses highly detailed illustrative linework, dark muted greens and browns, and sharply controlled highlights from candles, lanterns, and other small light sources. Elaborate foliage, clothing, architecture, and props create ornate woodland-fantasy tableaux populated by recurring figures, animals, and ritual-like scenes.

Earlier versions

Same code, different picture. Midjourney changed how it reads SREF codes after V6.1, so V8.2 turns this code into a new style. The old one still works: add  or .
