What I was after was Kubo's hard ink and Soejima's soft gradient shading sitting in one frame, so the outlines stay sharp while the cloth reads glossy. The reference has a guy in a white robe with a purple rope belt, sword at his waist, chin tipped up in empty white with ink splatter around him. I ran the prompt through to see how close it would land. Models, in order: 1-4. midjourney-niji-7
