Observations

Across the four images, saturated teal and crimson are shaped into moody, high-contrast scenes with glowing lamps and reflective water. Broad, visibly textured brushwork gives the landscapes and rounded characters a tactile painted surface, while exaggerated proportions, solitary figures, and uncanny environments create a darkly fantastical narrative style.

Colours

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 .
