Observations

Across all four renders, the style uses stark black-and-white cartoon drawing with thick, emphatic outlines, flat unfilled areas, and occasional solid black shapes. It combines crowded surreal imagery with grotesque humanoid characters, exaggerated facial features, distorted anatomy, plants, and floating or loosely connected objects.

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 .
