Hi Friends,
This was one of the moments where I was really, really blown away by the capabilities of AI, or GPT Image 2, to be more specific.
Generating "still" images is all fun, but sometimes we need to create a series of images that have a progression, for example for telling a story from start to finish. we need to add the "fourth dimension" to our images - time.
Usually, this is done by the user. you need to think up your story, flesh it out in detail, and then you try to truncate each part of the story into small segments, that could fit into one single prompt. and then you try to come up with the right prompt for each.
For example: one prompt for creating an image of a character that walks to a spaceship, one prompt for lift-off... and so on.
But wouldn't it be nice if we could delegate this task to AI? And find a prompt that generates sequential images, without needing to change the prompt too much?
And here is that one.
For this example, I want to create a futuristic pixel art short story. So I use this prompt:
i am working on a short story in pixel art style. the story should have 7 pages. it should tell a sci fi story beginning on earth, explore strange and alien planets, and finally end on earth again.
please generate page 1 out of 7 now.
Now all i need to do is to increment the number for each new image. by changing the last line to "please generate page 2 out of 7 now.", "please generate page 3 out of 7 now."... you get the point.
If somehow, an image that get's created does not fit too well, we can re-use the same prompt, until we are happy with it.
I am using Leonardo.Ai for this, and GPT Image 2 is one of the models they have available.
so let us look at a test run for this:
All these images were created by repeating the prompt, and just increasing the number each time. I did not change anything else with the prompt, nor did I add things, or more specifications.
You could say some elements are slightly off and misalign a bit. Personally, I think the art style could be even more coherent. But this is just a test run, and with some tweaking, this problem could be solved, too.
And, once again, "there is more out there", and this technique can be enhanced and researched even more!
