Image-to-image: turning rough sketches into finished key art

Image-to-image is the capability illustrators adopt fastest, because it respects the part of the job they actually want to control: composition.

Begin with your own sketch or blocked-out layout. The model reads structure from it, so perspective and framing stay yours.

Set the influence level deliberately. High influence keeps the sketch almost exactly and only refines rendering. Lower influence lets the model reinterpret materials and lighting, which is useful for exploration but risky for final delivery.

Describe materials and light separately from subject. A prompt that says brushed metal, rim light from the left, soft fill reads more reliably than a long adjective chain.

Finish with a manual pass. Colour correction, edge cleanup and typography remain in the illustrator's hands, and that final pass is what makes the asset deliverable.
