Midjourney Bench

A route for image experiments that can grow over time instead of turning the rest of the site into a dumping ground.

Use the kept images in /public/images/ as the reference pool. Ignore everything that has not earned a stable home yet. Style refs should tell you about material and atmosphere. Identity refs should stabilize a character or recurring figure. Omni refs should help multiple scenes share one canon without making every prompt start from zero.

This route is also where storyboarding and collaboration can stay legible. When Raven of the Broken Biscuits starts drawing for the animated series work, that art should live in clearly credited collaborator buckets and route surfaces instead of blending into your own studies.

^"reference_packets"

Reference Packets

^style_refs Style refs Texture, lighting, palette, paper grain, clay surface, camera distance, and material atmosphere.

~identity_packets Identity packets Character face, clothing logic, props, recurring gestures, and the stable silhouette someone should recognize later.

@omni_refs Omni refs The references that help a whole family of scenes share one canon: world light, motif set, emblem logic, and environmental rules.

#shotboards Shotboards Scene sequences for storyboarding, animated-series beats, and camera tests that can later be refined by hand.

@"route_grammar"

Route Grammar

/tools/midjourney/characters/ Identity packets for recurring characters, species studies, wardrobe logic, and expression boards.
/tools/midjourney/environments/ Set dressing, interiors, exterior motifs, architectural atmospheres, and material cues.
/tools/midjourney/motifs/ Stickers, glyphs, seals, badges, speech-bubble physics, and emblem systems that need consistency.
/tools/midjourney/shotboards/ Storyboard sequences, animated-series blocking, and frame-to-frame continuity experiments.

Each page can carry kept images, short prompt notes, failures worth remembering, and what the experiment clarified. The point is accumulation, not one-off prompt spectacle.

~"collaboration"

Collaboration Notes

Canon maintenance

Streaks, stickers, screenshots, and Discord drops can stabilize canon when they get turned into named packets instead of a loose image flood.

Credited art

When Raven contributes art, publish it in clearly labeled collaborator routes or image buckets with attribution in the surrounding copy and sidecars.

Scope discipline

Use the bench for experiments, then promote only the kept images into public routes. Everything else can stay ignored until the category becomes obvious.
