Notes -
Well, this is the spritesheet I'm using right now (or rather, the 3rd and 5th rows, as it's all from the top-down perspective, and I just rotate the sprites). Here's one I found for the marine / player character, and this is the style I'd like to go for. Not necessarily realistic, but not the retro-RPG cartoonish style either. Something "serious" / played straight, someting fitting for a sci-fi / horror. Honestly, the typical AI-slop style would even work for me, I thought, but the issue is it doesn't understand the assignment. I ask for top-down view, and it gives me a perspective view. If I specifically ask for a sprite, I get something closer to what I need, but then it reverts to the retro/cartoon style I want to avoid... I ask it for a transparent background, and it just draws checkers in the background... and that's without bringing up the animations.
On the other hand it did make me a pretty kick-ass logo.
It's not so important right now, either way. Perfectly happy to use the retro-RPG one as a placeholder, and when I'm done with the thing I can comission someone, but since you mentioned actually using AI for your project, I thought I'd ask if there's a better way to use it, than what I was doing.
DM me the prompt you're using to try for enemies?
