Images in the style of toy building bricks are a fun way to practice AI image generation. You describe a scene and the AI builds it for you, brick by brick. This article shows how to start with Copilot or ChatGPT, gives tips for good prompts and twenty ideas to get going. The original article dates from the DALL-E 3 era; today you create images with the image generator in Microsoft Copilot or in ChatGPT, and Bing Image Creator has moved into Copilot. LEGO is a brand name: use these images for fun, not as official LEGO material.
How to start
- Open Microsoft Copilot (free with a Microsoft account) or ChatGPT.
- Type your prompt, for example: "Create an image in the style of toy building bricks of a medieval castle with knights and a dragon."
- Ask for changes in the same conversation: "make it night", "landscape 16:9" or "more color".
- Download the image. In landscape format you can also use it as a Teams background.
Tips for better prompts
- Be specific: place, time of day, characters and mood.
- Name the style: "made of plastic building bricks", "minifigures", "close-up with blurred background".
- Choose the format: 16:9 for a background, square for social media.
- Photos of people: only upload a photo of someone who agrees to it, and follow your organization's rules.
