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.
Perfect Blue is a Japanese animated psychological thriller film directed by Satoshi Kon, released in 1997. It follows the story of Mima Kirigoe, a pop idol who transitions into acting, only to face a series of disturbing events that blur the lines between reality and illusion.
Perfect Blue's Midjourney style representation features dreamy and surreal portraits with a focus on fantasy and dark themes. The artwork utilizes digital illustration techniques with fine brushwork and layered textures, creating smooth gradients and soft shading. The compositions are centered around close-up portraits with intense gazes, often incorporating large eyes and delicate features. The color palette is dominated by monochromatic blues with soft pastels and contrasting highlights. Influences from anime and Japanese pop culture are evident, with motifs like butterflies and floral elements adding to the ethereal and enigmatic atmosphere.
