Helicopters lifting large objects requires knowledge of positioning, so of course the AI struggles.

I believe I need to track down all these plots, and steal them for some adventures for The Troubleshooters.

Grumbles and complains suspended Bing-access*complains and grumbles*.

I created these for my Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign.

Drowned Assassin

If ever there was a subject where the AI generating extra fingers doesn't matter, this would be it.

Part 1 of me trying to create a Xorn.

Prompt 1: heavy rocky body sitting on three powerful legs, three powerful arms with claws, large toothy maw on top of its head, one eye on each side of the body, D&D cave background, dynamic pose, wide camera angle, high detail, digital painting. This produced the following results...

Nope, that's not what I'm looking for so I switch up the prompt.

Prompt 2: heavy rocky barrel-like body on three tripod legs, one powerful arm with claws per side, large toothy maw on the top, one eye on each side of the body, D&D cave background, dynamic pose, wide camera angle, high detail, digital painting. The AI gives me this...

Nope, still not what I'm looking for. Let's switch up the prompt again.

Prompt 3: heavy tripod rocky barrel-like body on three legs, one powerful arm with claws per side, large toothy maw on the top, one eye on each side of the body, D&D cave background, dynamic pose, wide camera angle, high detail, digital painting

Nope. Some interesting images but no Xorn. Let's try a different prompt.

Prompt 4: heavy tripod rocky body on three legs, one powerful arm with claws per side, large toothy maw on the top, one eye, D&D cave background, dynamic pose, wide camera angle, high detail, digital painting

Nope, still not right.

To be continued...

Part 2 of creating a Xorn.

Prompt 5: heavy tripod rocky body on three legs, three powerful arm with claws, large toothy maw on the cranium, a single red eye, D&D cave background, dynamic pose, wide camera angle, high detail, digital painting

Nope, still not correct. Some of these images are pretty cool but not Xorn-like.

Prompt 6: three legs, three clawed arms, single red eye, roundish body, large open toothy maw on top of body, stone-like skin, high detail, digital painting

Some of these could work in a pinch but haven't got the classic Xorn appearance (yet).

Prompt 7: three legs, three clawed arms, single red eye, barrel-shaped body, large open toothy maw on top of body, stone-like skin, high detail, digital painting

The last couple attempts have been getting closer. Perhaps I have to wait until the AI can count properly (ask for three legs and get two or four or six).

A Claymation D&D Rogue

Prompt: D&D rogue male with hooded cloak, black and green leather armor, regal features, thin face, long nose, full body pose, claymation


So if I take the same prompt and swap out 'claymation' for 'soft water color painting' and I get this...


And here's the same prompt but with the 'pixar animation style' tag. Looks very similar to the claymation style with the exception of the faces (they look very Pixar to me).

This is going back quite a bit, but apparently the secret to plaid pants for women without getting kilts is "checked trousers."



(Faded 1970s dark fantasy novel cover art, if you are wondering.)

For fun I’ve been creating some illustrations of characters from a dormant campaign from a gaggle of years ago. It took place in a large city ruled in an iron fist by a theocracy. Magic was rare, or at least it was harshly prosecuted punishable by death, and so any who possessed such gifts kept them secret. As characters we all began in the Stink (the tannery district), the lowest of the lowly slums within the city walls.

This first character was my main character of the campaign, Katya Halvers. She, and her brother, another of the PCs, were originally born in the more affluent areas of the city but now they found themselves here in the Stink. To make a multi-page character backstory short, through some events she is hoodwinked, ends up indentured at the arena, becomes a warrior who uses a glaive/guan dao and effectively dances through combat. She manages to buy temporary freedom from the fighting pits, and the campaign begins. (Katya was built as a hybrid Ranger/Tempest Fighter.)

Trying to get the AI to draw a glaive, or halberd, or guan dao… forget it. So I went with a ‘heavy spear’ with the intent to photoshop in a guan dao blade. I probably generated 30+ sets in pursuit of great images.

This one here is pretty much perfect in every way – the expression, the hair (albeit a slight bit short), the stance, and the way the weapon is held:



This one’s pretty good; I’d edit out the quiver (not sure why the AI added it that came from) and the hand position isn’t bad for bringing in a guan dao:


These two are alright, and I love the extra, extra long hair:



And this one’s fun for the way the weapon goes off the drawing, under the pen, and onto the table:



I like the armour on this one:



And the character sheet notebook design is cool on this one:




One funny thing was the number of results that came in with elf ears, though my prompt specifically called out as human! I tweaked the prompt as I created, but here’s where it ended up near the end:

Katya Halvers is a teenage human in a D&D world. She has lightly native american features and long black hair tied in a very long ponytail. Her expression is focused. She wears dark green heavy armor and leather boots. She is a fighter, wielding a heavy spear. full body action shot. rough concept sketch art.

Pokemon!

Just for fun, I entered in a very basic description of 4 pokemon, rather than the name which would likely pull up something a little more accurate. For instance, Pikachu was a yellow rodent with black markings and electricity arcing from its body.
