Ive never once successfully gotten a usable sprite sheet out of ChatGPT. The concept seems foreign to it and no matter how hard I try to steer it it’ll find a way to do something hopeless (inconsistent frame sizes; incoherent animations; no sense of consistent pixel sizes or what distinguishes (say) 8-bit from 16-bit era sprites; it’ll draw graph paper in the background for some reason; etc etc.). If anyone has a set of magic prompts for this, I’d love to learn about it. But my suspicion is that it’s just fundamentally the wrong tool for the job — you probably need a purpose-built model.

Like a full sprite sheet, one sprite at a time or a sprite animation loop?

Each one would require a different kind of model and model technique to make, so I wouldn't be surprised that ChatGPT has issues with it. A sprite animation loop would be better done by a potentially specialized video-oriented model, for example, and the current image and video models are barely trained on that kind of video data.

that might be possible by asking it to create an 3d model with animations (based on a template) and then capture the sprites. but then again, not sure if building it would be worthwhile because 1) openai might add that as a native product (like what happened with .ppt generation) or 2) the capability to do so might be 6 months away

Have you tried drawing?

According to all the lazy articles I've read here lately you just need to threaten to beat it up lmao...
