Observations

Across all four renders, the style uses rough hand-drawn ink contours, dense crosshatching, and visibly uneven strokes over an intensely restricted blue-and-white palette. It combines spare narrative scenes with a close-up character study, using stark contrast, nocturnal settings, and slightly uncanny proportions to create a surreal illustrated 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 .
