Observations

Across all four renders, the style is monochrome, ink-like portrait drawing built from energetic overlapping contours, heavy black accents, and fine exploratory marks. Faces and figures are expressive and angular, with dense hatching and sketchy architectural or abstract surroundings creating strong tonal contrast.

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 .
