Observations
Across all four renders, the style uses graphic comic-book drawing with heavy black contour lines, clean flat color blocks, and selectively rough ink-like marks. Saturated reds, greens, and oranges are pushed against deep shadows, while densely packed urban settings and active human moments create an energetic, cinematic-feeling visual narrative.

Earlier versions
