Observations

Across all four renders, the style uses stark black-and-white graphic illustration with heavy contour lines, angular forms, and dense crosshatched shadows. Urban streets, crowds, buildings, and sharply framed character portraits create a dramatic noir-like visual language, with solid black shapes and white highlights carrying most of the modelling.
