Observations

The style is a high-contrast black-and-white comic illustration built from bold contour lines, inked shadow masses, and selective crosshatching. It combines expressive close-up character portraits with an urban street view and interior settings, using dense line detail and panel-like framing throughout.

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 .
