Observations

Across all four renders, the style uses thick, highly visible paint strokes and dark contouring to turn figures, buildings, water, and sky into energetic swirling forms. Saturated blues and oranges dominate, with strong contrast, repeated circular motifs, and dense expressive surface texture creating a vivid, animated painted appearance.

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 .
