GPT Image 2 Tutorial: The Pixel Art Space Rave Festival

Hello Friends,
Here is another new tutorial for GPT Image 2.

So far, my tutorials focused on the unique ability of gpt image 2 to understand very complex commands. With lots of details and precision.
Such as: "take the character from this reference image. Put her into a concept artwork of a side scrolling video game. Make it look like retro art from the early 90s 16 bit era. Make sure the reference character is plainly visible as a player character. Change her hair to purple. Put a jet pack on her back".

Gpt Image 2 does this, and even more "loaded" prompts. With very good results!

But while writing these tutorials, I ran across something that is very interesting too:

Gpt Image 2 is also good at the "inverted" case. Giving short, simple prompts. And even for complex
and complicated demands, gpt image 2 "fills in" the rest and all the details - by itself!

This makes things a lot easier, and working on images a lot more "fun" !

So this is a "simplified" tutorial for once!

Step 1:

Just doing any task won't do the trick here - I promised that gpt image 2 would also be good at complicated, loaded, or even strange / surreal tasks.
So, for the tutorials I chosen this one:

-make an artwork
-it should be a video game concept art
-but it should also look like retro late 80s / early 90s pixel art
-and it should also look like classic "point and click" adventure games, like they were done by george lucas' video game company, for example (on a side note: yes, the star wars director entertained a video game branch).
-but it should not have a classic storyline (like save the royalty, defend earth from aliens...)
-it should be about a rave / dance festival
-and that rave festival should not take place on earth, but on another planet, with interstellar aliens visiting by

now, such a task would give a human designer quite the headache, right? seven things at once! or even drive them insane.
let's look how gpt image 2 deals with it.

and it is all very easy:

i just prompt:

a rave party in a huge space arena on another planet. make it look like a screenshot of a 90s point and click adventure game.

i think this one looks really good!
now, to explain what is going on here, in relation to the tutorial:
gpt image 2 created a lot of details by itself, that I did not even need to specify!

like an "inventory screen", several items the player character is carrying, a "verb command panel" that would enable one to control the character (if it got turned into an actual game...)

and it saved me a lot of work that I did not need to tell all of this gpt image 2 by myself!

Step 2:

Let us do a bit of variation.

even if a rave party is on another planet, it needs to have an entry point and ticket booth etc. maybe we can see space ships with fans or DJs landing in the background.

i prompt:

a rave party in a huge space arena on another planet. make it look like a screenshot of a 90s point and click adventure game. this is the entry line and we see spaceships landing in the background.

what if the alien ravers get hungry? we need an area for extra terrestrial food and drink vendors!

a rave party in a huge space arena on another planet. make it look like a screenshot of a 90s point and click adventure game. we see the food places and vendors.

and maybe fans want to have autographs of the star musicians?

and finally, a good party needs flyers and posters to promote it!

voila. finished. done with the tutorials.

all these images were generated in mere minutes. with very "simple" and easy prompts. still, in my opinion, gpt image 2 nailed it.

obviously, you would not need to use this for video game material. but similar prompts could be done for completely different topics, too!

extra images that were generated this:

after party

dj booth

party action

rave dome
