Observations

Across all four renders, tightly cropped faces are built from vivid, roughly brushed color and aggressively gestural black linework. Exaggerated eyes, mouths, and facial proportions create an intense, unsettling portrait style, with visible sketch marks and fine overlapping strokes preserving a raw handmade surface.

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 .
