Tutorial: totally transform images with GPT Image 2

Hello Friends,
Here is the third tutorial I am writing for GPT Image 2.
And once more it is about the power of this AI generator to change and transform images, and its ability to actually understand what you want it to do.

Goal of the tutorial:

To take a character, and put her into a vastly different selection of images... topics... genres!

Step 1:

I go to Leonardo.AI and select GPT Image 2.
I select "image reference", and upload a character I had created some months ago by using Leonardo.Ai

This character is meant to show a space agent on a secret mission in the future.

Step 2:

I ask GPT Image 2 to put her on the cover of a fictional comic magazine. I do this by just typing "the cover of a 50s style comic magazine". It's as simple as that! And I think the results are already good.

But how about something different?
Astronaut on a space mission in peril!

The prompt was "simple" again: astronaut in a distorted and glitched communication broadcast.

Let's go back to the past! Who liked 19th century "fantastic" novels?
I asked GPT Image 2 to do just that!

The astonishing thing here is that I really merely wrote "illustration of a 19th century novel". the ai generator added the statements in french language and everything else - by itself!

more examples:

60s spy thriller movie

brand ambassador

side scroller

adventure game

the majority of results were created by "one sentence prompts".
sometimes, the generation slipped, and I had to add "keep the character of the reference image". this usually fixed everything.

Step 3:

We are finished. mission accomplished.

it's really all very easy, and the possibilities are still endless.

Tutorial: how to meta-morph an image into completely different designs with the help of GPT Image 2

Hello friends,
Here is a new tutorial. And once again it's about GPT Image 2, because this is *the* "killer app" in the moment. In my opinion!

Just like last time, I will keep it pixel art again (because I am in the flow with this right now).

But, apart from this, the mission objective this time is:

Completely transforming an image or conceptual design.

For this tutorial, I have chosen a hobby I was very fond of since my childhood:
Chess.

And the idea is to create a pixel art image showing a chess board - that could even be from a future video game!
And then transforming it into the very different things.

Step 1:

I generate the basic image with GPT Image 2.

Looks good already, doesn't it?

Step 2:

Now, I don't discard the prompt and throw it in the garbage can! no no!
I use it again, but specify a different art style. This time it's futuristic sci-fi:

If sci-fi is not your thing, we can also try it with fantasy:

and how about ancient egypt?

did you like the 80s, synth pop, keytars, disco glamour, all that jazz? we can do that, too!

or how about chess in candy world?

all these changes, and the creation of the art, were literally done in just a few minutes.

so, you see, the possibilities are truly endless!

GPT Image 2 is an epic game changer! (Image Tutorial)

I'm a user of Leonardo.Ai, and they recently added GPT Image 2 to their repertoire.
And boy, is that thing fun! The possibilities are huge, and it will probably take a while to fathom them all...

Of all the tools I tried so far, it is one of the smartest, and one that is best at understanding - what kind of image I really want to have.

So, here is a little "test run" and a tutorial that shows some of the potential of this AI generator, and the type of workflow one can use.

What is the tutorial about?
I want to show one of the spiffy skills of GPT Image 2: transforming images, creating a new context, generating something new out of the old.

And our mission objective is: taking a character, and putting him into various vintage video game designs of the most diverse genres genepool!

For this tutorial, I decided to "recycle" a character I had previously generated for various projects. A "Cyborg Hard Techno DJ" called "DJ AI".

Step 1:

Here they are:

First, I transformed them into a 16 bit version of themself, with a little help from my friend (aka this very AI generator).

I uploaded the picture as "image reference" to Leonardo, and selected "GPT Image 2" as the AI generator I want to use (Leonardo has more than one generator, of course).

Step 2:

Now, I put them into various genres:

Fighter game

Point and click adventure game

Platform game

Space Simulation Game

Fishing Simulator

I used very simple prompts like this - such as "vintage 90s style space sim video game" or "90s style real time strategy video game".

Usually, such simple sentences were already enough!
A few times there were a few hiccups - "DJ AI" got lost in transformation and was replaced by a more generic player character sprite.
On these occasions, I added the line "the reference image should be present in the final image". And this worked like a charm.

Step 3:

There is no step 3, because this works so clean and seamlessly, that we are finished already.

This was a rather "specific" task for this AI generator. But completely different transformations and compositions are entirely possible too. It does not have to be video game specific!

I'll report more on this when I come back from further explorations out there.

Role playing game

Platform game (another one)

Puzzle Game
