Observations

Across all four renders, the style combines stark black-and-white photography-like portrait framing with heavily inked, graphic-novel rendering. Fine contour lines, crosshatching, deep shadows, and blown highlights create a dramatic, dark, high-contrast look, while several images place the figures in active studio or illustrated-panel settings.

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 .
