Art Style Type
This SREF style clearly blends elements of flat illustration, neo-retro, and cyberpunk aesthetics. It adopts an approach similar to comics or graphic novels but combines it with the precision of modern digital art. The style carries strong mid-20th century illustration influences while adding contemporary color treatments and compositions, forming a unique retro-futuristic aesthetic. It belongs to these categories due to its clean, defined linework, bold yet limited color contrasts, and the frequent juxtaposition of natural and technological elements.
