Observations

Across all four renders, the style uses stark near-monochrome sepia imagery with dense black shapes, pale highlights, rough grain, and poster-like drawn contours. Urban settings, isolated figures, crowds, and imposing architecture are arranged as dramatic narrative tableaux with a consistently bleak, retro-noir atmosphere.

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 .
