Observations

Across all four renders, the style uses monochrome, high-contrast ink-like linework with dense crosshatching, stippling, and finely engraved textures. Portraits and figures merge with abundant foliage, birds, patterned garments, and dreamlike symbolic juxtapositions, creating richly packed surreal tableaux.

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 .
