Style tags are largely non-functional on v4, as far as I can tell; `pixel art` works but not much else does without prompting for specific series, or... artists.
Fortunately, there's a good resource for artist tags [here](https://zele.st/NovelAI/?Danbooru%20-%20Artist%20Tags). Unfortunately all the demonstration images are women, and some of these artists are so strongly trained for drawing women that they *cannot* draw male characters. Most of the artist tags are from there.
So! Here's the results of my experimentation with a male character prompt; mouseover the linked page to view. Generation settings are the same as provided on that site (though the seed is random), but I'm using the prompt below instead (and obviously this isn't exhaustive; I'm just doing this for my own usage and publishing the results and my notes, in case they help anyone).
