Observations

Across all four renders, monumental gothic structures and rocky formations are rendered in dense, highly ornate detail with a carved, sculptural sense of weight. The nearly monochrome palette, stark dark-versus-white contrast, misty depth, and expansive blank backgrounds create a bleak, epic fantasy 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 .
