D&D 5E Replacement art is up for Bigby's AI art on D&D Beyond!

[dave2008]

the AI did not generate the image, it used an existing sketch to ‘enhance’ it

To be clear, the piece of art I was commenting on is not one of the known AI pieces of Art. It is in fact a MtG card art used in the new DnD Beyond supplement. So we don't know if AI was used at all.

Regarding the AI art in Bigby's: yes I know the artist used the AI to enhance their own sketch. I even posted an example here: post #12 a good 28 posts before yours!

The altisaur still looks ridiculous, but the other dinosaurs are improved.

I really like the new frost giant ice shaper and frostmourn.

I actually prefer the previous Frostmourn, it looked more wraith-like and on theme IMO

It is worth noting that all of the dinosaur illustrations, new and old, are pretty close to the concept art give to the artist:

This is the current 5e art for Yeenoghu. (Can't remember which book though)

Maybe they should let AI attempt that one.

Here they are (after a couple of tries)View attachment 295735View attachment 295736View attachment 295737View attachment 295738

Blue avian looks good, the rest so so. Looks like generic CGI art imho.

As always ymmv.

I actually preferred the AI enhanced version of this monster as well. Though the concept is mostly the same. AI enhancement on the left.

Don't think I like either one that much left ones better.

I've gone of CG type art Sister in law has some nice oil paintings and sisters taken up paint8ng and for a hobbyist she's not to bad.

New Planescspe art doesn't look as good either imho as the older stuff same artist so go figure. I don't even like PS that much but original boxed set looked great.

What do you mean by the bold part? On first glance it seems very dismissive of the talent it takes to make this work, whether or not a computer was used instead of IRL brushes and canvas.

As an amateur artist myself I know it takes a lot of skill to "paint" with a computer.

Everyone's different. I hated the original planescape art and it prevented me from getting the books back in the day. I would also be careful assume a computer was used to make all the art in these books. Plenty of artist still use IRL paint, brush, and canvas.

Personally I don't care how it was made. I like or dislike either depending on the art, not how it is made!

I don't really like the concept of this monster, but I like this artist's (the original artist) version better than the replacement piece.
