I have found that pixel art can be a bit too programmatic using filters and other coded tricks. The art of pixel art is a mix of patterns, transitions to different colors, edge lines, and yeah.. some human flaws too.
I think AI can nail pixel art in some cases, but it's harder to prompt for than other styles. It misses the nuance of being bad but good, which is very important. It can't have strict straight lines with no imperfections. It can't follow the same pattern for the same exact number of pixels from the edge lines. It has to have this human element to fully replicate traditional pixel art.
I am about to head out, so I just dropped this reply of mine into GPT w/ some other instructions to see what we get real quick
"create an image using pixel art style. Here is a complaint of mine from the past to keep in mind, making sure we nail the style 100%:

The pixel art should be of people lining up to enter a factory with a big sign "FORUM PROMOTION", and the city backdrop can be shown with a beautiful sunset."

I then re-prompted it to fix the issue of the line not going into the factory itself. I also wanted to add some references to forums that come out the other side (of FP) 🙂
in this new variation, go for more pixels per inch, but following same requirements. The line should be entering the actual door to the factory rather than to side of the building. In the distance, you can see 3 other billboards: "GeneralForum", "Christianity Haven", and "Admin Talks"
Unfortunately it is still botching the idea of them entering the factory... kind of disappointing.

Whenever I try to do an image and then attempt to correct what it did wrong, it doesn't seem to do those changes. And then if I want to go in an entirely new direction, it is still stuck with the same type of image it just gave me!!
Sometimes it's better to start a new chat than continue in the same session!! Try that out next time
Also many people recommend doing 3 prompts per idea, in 3 separate chats/sessions, and then moving forward with your favorite. It accounts for some of the randomness that LLMs like to insert for variability.
Those are good tips!
