This is perfect! I have had such a time with Nano Banana asking it to generate some very simple pixel art. One of the worst things is that it cannot seem to generate transparent backgrounds or even solid ones. It’s always some blotchy cloud of off-white pixels or a simulated fuzzy grid that shows up in some places. I will need to give this a try to clean up some of what I had to try by hand.
I simply cannot understand people who'll spend forever trying to get AI to generate basic art that any amateur with a bit of practice could do in a minute.
I am terrible at this kind of art. I could find another amateur but the "REPL" for that is just too slow for prototyping. No it isn't perfect, but tools like this make it better, and it means that I can generate something in an hour of my time rather than spending many hours finding and interfacing with another amateur or professional. Plus the cost is better. While generating one really high quality asset is almost certainly better with a pro, generating three dozen prototypes to choose from isn't.
