Observations

Across all four images, the style uses stark red, black, and cream poster-like fields with heavy hand-drawn outlines and energetic hatching. Flat color blocks, rough ink edges, simplified silhouettes, and sparse storybook landscapes create an expressive, high-contrast graphic mood.

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 .
