Observations

Across all four renders, the style uses expressive, painterly portraiture with fine drawn lines, visible brush texture, and densely rendered hair, clothing, flowers, and facial details. A near-black palette with saturated crimson accents, stark lighting, and tightly cropped figures creates a dark, dramatic gothic 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 .
