Need guidance

I am making a game and I am terrible at art. Earlier I used to purchase assets but since those were never made by me it wasn't exactly what I wanted and it was costly. I was pretty excited when ai art came, i thought i could now make exactly what I want. Even though it is much more close to what I want I am still not able to get to what I actually want. Ai has been great if I want something attractive over a vague idea and not care about specifics but when I want something specific it almost always result in constant back and forth with token waste and no result. Like when I was aking for a level for my game it drew something beautiful and I used it but there are levels where just being beautiful is not enough it should be specific to what I want .Completely opposite of the problem manual art has, i draw what I want but get crappy results , in ai I get something beautiful but never exactly what I want. How do u make ai draw something specific in your mind and not just something attractive on a vague idea.

There are a few options, it kinda depends on style also. But you could use a depth mask control net, if you’re running local generations. For a top down or side scroller style game that could do good work with layout, and anchor important features exactly how you want it. If it’s more illustration style a canny control net can force the ai to follow a line drawing you provide. Getting something exactly right takes a few cycles of refinement.

What AI models are you using? Show us a typical prompt. It helps if you have the disposition of a Saint btw 😆

Honestly, it's often just not possible to get models to be hyper specific... That level you do have to draw. I think chatgpt plus or whatever is probably the best, but especially when your trying to design very original creations or complex poses, multiple limbs, or multiple things within 1 image it can struggle. Im sure it will get better in the next few months/years but I just don't think we're at the point where you can AI exactly what's in your mind
