Observations

Across all four renders, the style uses stark black-and-white graphic illustration with bold contour lines, simplified facial features, and large flat areas of ink. Cropped character portraits are combined with patterned clothing, architectural stripes, splattered textures, and poster-like urban or radiating backgrounds.

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 .
