Observations

Across all four renders, the style combines cinematic urban scenes and portraits with moody teal-and-red lighting, strong contrast, neon glow, and atmospheric haze. Broad, visibly brushed and smeared paint marks soften faces, architecture, reflections, and city detail into an expressive, dreamlike nocturnal texture.
