D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

[Lanefan]

I remember one of the first of these things, and it was really just a hallucination take on what you described. Neat, but not all that alarming.

This stuff, in like a year or 2 later? Honestly I can probably go get my D&D books, and find art that I personally feel is inferior (for my unrefined, untrained, non-artist tastes!) to what can be generated right now, with some prompts, in this thread.

Add a year? Add a function let me iterate on a specific imagine? To focus on a specific section?

Yeah. Cool for me personally so I dont have to spend 40K 100K or 200K on commissioned art? Bad for the artist looking to get paid.

And yet (eventually, after maybe another year of fine-tuning) hella useful for producing images for me to show to my players: "You crest the rise and here's what you see." sort of thing; or "Out of the darkness comes a scaly creature that looks like... <hold up picture> ...this."

Faunel, the gate town in ruins leading to the Beastlands....took A LOT of prompts to get this....

white dragon flying over village in style of dungeons and dragons......too bad it looks like a mediocre dragon on a green screen, because these are close:

I really like the villages in the first and third of these; too bad there's that bloody great dragon in the way each time...

A more general observation (which I don't think applies to @Zaukrie ) - if you lot are cutting and pasting your prompts verbatim into this thread then DALL E3 is impressively good at fighting through typos and mis-spellings to figure out what you're after.

truth on the typos!

My favorite Rigus (after several tries):

Yeah, and thats all well and good. I get it. I also can extrapolate with very little effort, a scenario where these 'tools' make it so that companies dont need to hire artists to get something 'good enough' for mass consumption.

Again, I am an untrained, uncultured, non-artist. I couldnt tell someone what is 'good' art, from a technical or objective position.

I can again however state undeniably, that there is art in this thread, which I would call 'better' than some stuff in published, paid for, 5e books.

Carry that on another year of development and improvement? /shrug

Sylvania (took some prompts):

It DID NOT LIKE the prompt about the morgue scene from the new adventure!

 

[Twiggly the Gnome]

Since I did a picture for myself, I did one for the wife and kiddo...

... while doing iterations for the gnome version of my wife, I got one very NSFW image pop up on me.

 

[Zaukrie]

weird we can get NSFW stuff, but I couldn't do a morgue with dead bodies....

Similar prompt to your original Goliath?

Yes. Was trying to specify female instead of male (although I still got some males in the results) and switched out the axe for hands on hips. Given how easy it was to generate some male goliaths, I was surprised by how much more challenging it was to get some decent females.

Yeah, what it finds objectionable is really weird. It's fine with bare breasts, but it never lets me ask for bare feet. It also doesn't like it when I ask for a vampire being stabbed in the chest, but it's fine showing a person holding an actual heart (what I got when I first mentioned a vampire being staked through the heart) and is also fine with showing a bloody skeleton ... Very bizarre.

As an aside, when my youngest daughter was playing around with it yesterday, she was trying to make a tiny fairy living in a sandcastle, and it kept giving her big-headed dolls with articulated joints. It was very strange. She also discovered that if you don't specify that you want an empty beach, it will always put people on the beach in the background.
