Observations
Across all four renders, the style uses clean, fine dark outlines, flat cel-like color areas, and selectively detailed costume and surface marks against near-black backgrounds. Warm cream, ochre, and orange accents create strong contrast, while glowing sparks and fantastical figures give the scenes a dark, surreal storybook atmosphere.

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 .
