I've been playing around with creating concepts for a game my friend and I are making.
It's like Insaniquarium but with dinos 🦖

What does sketch to shippable actually look like in real time? 🎥
Honestly, I went in doubting it, and came out convinced, for early concepting at least. 🤔 I recorded the whole process, doodle to final.
Calling all desginers to run it on your own idea and drop the result below. Here's the prompt I edited, templated so you can run it on your own campaign:
"Create an original artwork inspired by the attached sketch. [describe your product: material, finish, colors, depth]. Main focus on [your hero element]. Do not preserve exact strokes or shapes. Boldly reimagine its forms, proportions, colors, materials, and details. Never trace or retain the original lines, integrate their ideas naturally through texture, lighting, and color. For simple sketches, invent a richer interpretation. Ask me about preferred artistic style with a few options."
Where does it hold up, where does it break? 👀
omg ... you just gave me the BEST idea to play around with on my ipad mini with my apple pencil hehe, this is 🔥
Can AI understand your rough sketches?
ChatGPT just added a new sketch feature to its new Images 2.5 model, so I tried it with extremely simple sketches and short prompts to see how well it could understand my intention.
And honestly, I actually like it!
This can be helpful especially when you already have a specific pose or composition in mind and want to quickly turn that rough idea into something more refined.
If you’re curious, I included a quick process video in the comments.
Do you think this new feature could be useful in your workflow?
So cool
How far can a 10-second doodle actually go?
I scribbled the simplest fish I could: an oval and a triangle tail, and let ChatGPT Images 2.5's Sketch tool run with it. It gave me back a full reef: light filtering through the water, anemones, bubbles, three clownfish that weren't even in my drawing.
Where it excelled: the hard stuff. Water refraction, depth, the way light scatters. That's exactly what I thought would break it, and it nailed it.
Prompt's below so you can remix it.
What's the worst drawing you've got? Run it through and show me what came out 😂
The jump from a simple doodle to convincing underwater light is a great example of where generative tools add real value. The refraction and suspended detail make the transformation feel earned.
