Shape the medium, colour and composition. Build a game art prompt ready for your image tool.
AI-generated example studies · Example scene: moorland courier. Use a medium for your brief; these images stay fixed.
Load a complete brief, then make it yours. Colour, light, materials and camera work together.
AI-generated examples · Fixed art studies for these starting briefs.
Keep the subject and composition fixed. Change only the palette, then only the light, then only the medium. Save the versions that belong to the same visual world.
Keep the directions worth returning to. Saved in this browser, on this device.
Build an art brief you can repeat, revise and review.
Describe the medium, palette, materials, camera and light. “Beautiful fantasy art” leaves all of those choices to the model. “Ink and clay tones, weathered timber, flat winter light, fixed side-on view” gives the image a direction.
One image might define a character’s identity, another the composition, and another the surface treatment. Name the roles and say what to borrow. Attach the actual images when you generate; the descriptions here are instructions.
Choose the focal point, viewing angle and crop. Leave quiet areas for gameplay or UI. Top-down orthographic means directly overhead; isometric shows the top and sides.
Name the change, then list what must stay. Reuse the approved output as the next input. For local edits, make the selection or mask in the editor and inspect the result for drift.
Inspect at the size your game uses. Check real alpha, repeated texture edges, silhouette and alignment. Generated tile geometry and sprite sheets need production review. Build exact road connections from your geometry or vector master.
Use the same brief, reference inputs and comparable settings for a fair model comparison. A model-specific version tests your workflow. Save both versions and record the actual provider model, rather than treating guide labels as endpoint IDs.
These profiles follow the AIGameDev guide supplied in October 2026. Treat each format as a starting brief: sibling models often share the same prompting approach. Confirm your provider’s exact version and supported controls before generating. The guide’s scores are a supplied snapshot, not a live ranking.
Family-level prompting and controls checked against these primary sources. The 20 guide labels are retained for reference.
Check the current licence and output terms for the exact service or weights you use before shipping your game.
Build a repeatable game art brief with a subject, medium, palette, camera and lighting. Choose a model profile, then copy the prompt and settings into your image tool. Start with a direction card or build a brief from scratch.
Art Desk writes prompts and edit briefs. Generate and review images in your chosen image application. The illustrated studies here are fixed, AI-generated examples; changing a brief does not change those pictures.
Drafts stay in this browser on this device. There is no account or cloud sync. Clearing browser data can remove them, so use Export all in the Draft library to keep a backup. If browser storage is unavailable, export your work before closing the page.
Open the original Art Desk Draft library in the browser where you saved them and choose Export all. Return here, open Draft library and choose Import JSON. Drafts do not transfer automatically between the two addresses. Existing matching draft IDs are kept.
No. They are prompting starting points based on the supplied community guide. Check the exact model, supported controls and usage terms in your image application before generating or shipping assets.
Use the brief to keep art decisions consistent, then test the resulting assets in your game. Read the AI art game development workflow for moving from concepts through blockout, asset production and gameplay checks.
