AI Overlays

Nice. I can tell the model is flux only by the style. Just change key placeholders of the same prompt and you get new characters and colors.

This thing is fun. I’m trying something for Castlevania, but couldn’t get something interesting yet:

Yet, for mario and cia, I got lots of interesting things:

my take on castlevania, background looks ok, unfortunately tvs are quite ugly :sweat_smile:

It’s a good starting point. It needs some key objects from the series like Holy Water bottle, for example. The background should “bring” the soul of the series. The ambient inside a gothic church or a castle, or cemetary is a must.

this one is not too bad!, that’s dracula’s private room where he awaits Ricther while playing on his devilish famicom… :joy:

This is what I love about AI images. You can easily explore super creative ideas like that :slight_smile:

Also, beautiful results, you and Hylian

This one maybe doesn’t belong to this thread. It’s hybrid (AI plus manual edition):

The AI generated the image, and then you corrected its mistakes right? Belongs here, I’d say.

It would be different if it were the other way around :thinking:

(Nice one, by the way)

Nope. The character I found on the net and inserted into the overlay. And did some adjustments.

Anyway, here are two overlay+presets for Castlevania if anyone’s interested: Castlevania overlays

I see, so a good amount was made by you. This is what’s interesting about this stuff: at what point would it not be considered AI content anymore?

I’d say since AI did initial heavy lifting it belongs here, but you’re free to post anywhere you want :slight_smile:

Personally I think most AI images benefit from some amount of editing, so I’d include any non-overhaul edits here. I’ll change the main post to reflect this.

Heads up:

There seems to be a new free image generator that does a lot better with text

https://preview.reve.art/

Still may struggle with text it has to make up, but any text you specify is written correctly.

Front view of a CRT television at night. The screen is turned off and reflects the room. The TV is labeled “Toshiba”. (the prompt is auto-enhanced on this site)

Perhaps any gibberish can be avoided by specifying the button labels, or lack thereof.

Reve was updated and it’s one of the most advanced for making Overlays for free now.

Some tests I’m doing for Spooky TVs: All and these Spooky Tvs plus uborder presets

The prompt:

A vintage 1970s television with a heavily worn wooden cabinet faces perfectly straight ahead, positioned centrally in the frame in a decaying, pitch-black room. The TV is photographed head-on, showcasing its symmetrical design with the convex screen dominating the composition. The aged wooden frame displays deep scratches, water damage, and peeling veneer in perfect detail, while its dust-covered screen shows age-related discoloration. Tarnished and partially broken decorative knobs and channel selector are clearly visible below the screen. Scattered across the rotting floorboards around the TV lie three partial human skeletons in chaotic disarray - ribcages separated from spines, scattered vertebrae, and detached limb bones, all draped in thick, gray spider webs that glisten in the moonlight. Several skulls rest at unnatural angles, partially obscured by debris and webs. Moonlight seeps through broken windows behind the TV, creating an ethereal backlight that perfectly outlines the television's weathered silhouette. Cobwebs stretch across the screen's corners and entangle the cabinet's ornate details. Cold blue moonlight illuminates floating dust particles around the television, creating an unsettling atmosphere. The room's peeling wallpaper extends outward from behind the TV, while the edges fade into impenetrable darkness.

Good result, but… What a prompt! lol

Remember you can have a simple prompt and tell an LLM like ChatGPT or DeepSeek to make it super-detailed!

(Additionally, some image generators like Reve can auto-enhance your prompt)

So, ChatGPT recently released what’s probably the best (publicly available) image generator yet. It seems just now they’ve also made it free of charge for everyone, and this is my first attempt:

A CRT television at night, sitting on a wooden desk. The TV is turned off and facing the camera.

It lets you keep prompting it for edits, so I did just that:

Extend it so it’s 16:9

Add a big pile of PS2 game cases on the wooden table, next to the TV, and a small action figure of Snake on top of them. The games are at an angle and each game is labeled with its name. Include Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Resident Evil 4

(I tried with Sonic but it didn’t let me…)

The image looks good, but I need more focus on the TV. Please make the TV perfectly face the camera and have it more in the center. Make the games and Snake smaller so everything can fit!

Has its errors, like making Snake Eater a separate case, but still, the rate of progress is nothing to scoff at. More could probably be fixed/added if I kept prompting it.
