Observations

The style combines expressive cartoon character drawing with fine, loose ink contours and visible watercolor washes, splatters, and bleeding pigment. Saturated blue, orange, and green accents enliven the mostly paper-toned ground, while exaggerated eyes, gestures, and facial expressions create a playful comic energy.

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 .
