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

[Kannik]

A miscellany of images, starting with a man and his mech, then some moth people with varying degrees of sinister-ness, some femme fatale vampires, and a couple of more abstract images suitable for logos.

Wow, colour me impressed for the one with the mecha! Would you mind sharing the prompt?

Some warriors.

Prompt: warrior wearing leather armour with a fur collar, armed with a large sword with runes carved on it, dark interior stone chamber background, 1970's surrealistic sci-fi film

Next is the same prompt but with the word female added to it. That got me these.

I also tried to produce some images of a few Alternity species: the weren, the sesheyans, and the mechalus. Weren came out the best, and there are some mechalus images that are passable or could work as something else. The sesheyans... they didn't really work at all. I've attached the best two; they don't really look like sesheyans (the heads and eyes are way off) but they are decent enough critters. I really wish the second sesheyan image had both ears rendered, though.

Sadly it is gone from my prompt history, but it was something like "Video game concept art. Ink sketch. A knight in black and gold armor stands in front of a massive mech with a similar color scheme. Gritty modern comic book style." A couple of other images using that or a similar prompt follow.

I figured I would give some sci-fi-esque fantasy a try and it came up with these.

Prompt: female warrior wearing leather armour with a fur collar, armed with a laser sword, monolithic ruins on an alien world background, 1970's surrealistic sci-fi film

I tweaked the prompt a bit more and got these.

Prompt: female sci-fi special agent wearing leather armour with a fur collar, armed with a glowing red sword, alien world background, 1970's surrealistic sci-fi film

Might have found a little bit of a hack for using the bing generator. I was playing with "full body detailed sketch" and getting a lot of not full body shots. Then I added "Standing on white ground" and boom, it began giving me the complete picture (I'm guessing because it has to draw a shadow to indicate the white ground):

As an aside, I've generated quite a number of these, including some I was happy with, but this one came out as darn well near perfect. The proportions are mostly right (often it will generate with more human proportions, or not tight enough to his body to maintain his all important agility), the delighted smirk, the armour is complete and looks great, and the rifle is slick and not odd looking. I love this so much. It was done with a "full body detailed notebook sketch", hence the margin and ruled lines, but they can be easily photoshopped out.

(Rocket in power armour was one of the first things I went to create in the AI, as in my headcannon the moment he saw Iron Man/War Machine he would've thought "I could make that." Even more so

Spoiler: Spoiler for GotG3

after the events of the last movie, and recognizing that more protection might be very desirable in certain situations. Not to mention that the extra firepower potential as icing on the cake...

Very cool, thank you! Saving that prompt to play with it later.

Finally! I never figured out a way to get that to work.

Finally! I never figured out a way to get that to work.

Oh, sorry, if I had known people were having issues with that I would have mentioned that trick weeks ago!

Yeah, a couple words describing the ground they are standing on:

marble slab
rocky outcropping
shag rug
and so on

have worked well for me. Not 100% of course, but really close.
