> Try to get the AI to draw the pelican form a very odd angle - like underneath, to the right, one wing extended, one wing not ... 0% chance.

Proof by existence?

Looks pretty good to me. ChatGPT in "Thinking" model.

Edit: I've added the Opus version on the same link.

? That's evidence that it does not work.

Neither of those are from 'under' they both look either front or top?

Imagine yourself under the ducks feet, looking up at an oblique angle - wings as I suggested. The AI won't do that, it has no reference for dimensionality.

What on earth do you mean?

I live near an area with lots of pelicans. If you look up at one flying overhead this is what they look like.

Here is a photo for comparison: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:American_white_pelic...

Sure, something like that. Note like the examples you posted.

I've very confused. The SVGs show the beak, wing, tail, feet and body as though viewed from directly underneath.

They look similar to the photo, but meet the instructions better ("from underneath").

What are you expecting exactly?

Those are just awful compared to the side view of a pelican on a bike.

Have you seen a pelican from underneath? There's not much to show!
