Observations:

Gyotaku is a traditional Japanese art form that originated in the mid-19th century as a means for fishermen to record their catches. The name «Gyotaku» directly translates to «fish rubbing,» reflecting the method used to create these works. It involves applying ink to one side of a caught fish and then pressing paper or fabric onto it to obtain a detailed print of the fish. Over time, Gyotaku evolved from a fisherman’s record-keeping practice into a revered form of artistic expression. Today, Gyotaku is practiced by artists around the world and is valued in both fishing and art communities for its unique representation of marine life and the technical skill required to create these prints. The art form also serves as an educational tool, promoting greater appreciation of fish species and environmental awareness. Midjourney treats this technique in an interesting way, recreating blueish color scheme and the print imagery. The Midlibrary score is 9/9.

What is Midlibrary Benchmark
and how rate styles

Midlibrary Benchmark is a test comprised of nine standardized prompts designed to test how Midjounrey styles (AKA artistic styles, reference styles, or style modifiers) work with different subjects in a variety of contexts.

Benchmark prompts
cyberpunk character
Nazgul over sleeping town
decaying peonies
tech genius teenage girl
cute Mainecoon cat
Chernobog
bioarchitecture
Thom Yorke
Francis D. photographed by Andrei Kovalev. Paris, 2011
Image Prompt: Francis D

Style ranking

Depending on how a style manifested itself with each prompt, we add 1, 0.5, or 0 points to its total score.

cyberpunk character by Hieronymus Bosch

The prompt produced a generic results with no unique style features: this test adds nothing (0) to the overall score.

cyberpunk character by Ron English

This generation inherits more elements from the referenced style, but they are scarce and dilluted. Which adds 0.5 to the style's score.

cyberpunk character by Guy Bourdin

In this case, the Midjourney style showed a distinct and unique result, well aligned with the style's real-world prototype. A firm 1.
