Observations

Across all four panels, the style combines loose ink-wash painting with broad, energetic black brushwork, diluted pink washes, and visible paper texture. Figures, animals, mountains, and trees are reduced to expressive silhouettes and gestural marks, with strong dark⁠–light contrast and generous unpainted space.

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 .
