To highlight the style's strenghts and features, we run each SREF code through a set of 16 standardized prompts—Midlibrary Benchmark. Each prompt demonstrates how the SREF ”behaves“ in various domains of visual art/applications.

Michael Parkes's Midjourney style is marked by its surreal and fantasy elements, featuring ethereal characters often depicted with angelic motifs and flowing garments. The compositions are balanced and symmetrical, with central figures posed elegantly against ornate architectural backdrops. The color palette consists of earthy tones and soft pastels, creating a tranquil and mystical atmosphere.
