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

[Guest 7037866]

Heh, from what you posted, you seem to hate "social encounters"?

Not sure how you got that from those images. The only "social encounter" is the "carnival" teiflings with hag or whatever.

It might be clearer if you put together, say, ten images that you really like, that you wish you see more in D&D.

That's the problem, finding 10 images as they are which I like. Even the ones I sort of like are done in a way I don't care for.

As for theme (?) with stuff that makes everything look carnival-like, no thank you.

None of those were created with AI, so why are you posting them in this thread? Would you please take this conversation somewhere else? You know you can start your own thread with @Yaarel instead of sidetracking this one.

I can think of 1 in the PHB, but its been a long time since I've even looked at it.

Because @dave2008 asked me about them in this thread. shrug

I don't intend to have a lengthy discussion about it.

Ok, back home in the U.S. now, so let's begin.

Ok... I have to stop. There are too many. Easily 85% of the art in the PHB alone.

Even some of the art which I like the theme, I still can't get behind the style:



The blurred edges, washed out or bleeded colors, etc.

I also don't like the variety of art styles, either. Some are cartoonish, some gritty, some "clean digital", etc. It gets worse as you move across books. It makes it so there seems a lack of cohesion.

As for theme (?) with stuff that makes everything look carnival-like, no thank you.

First - thank you so much for getting back to me. I had completely forgotten about this. Also, just as a reminder, here are your quotes I was responding to:

A lot of the AI art in this thread is superior to the crap art in the 2024 books IMO. You don't agree?

There is a lot of art I don't care for personally, but can appreciate how others might. There is little artwork in 2024 that I can understand how people would like it at all. But as they say, one man's gargabe is another man's treasure.

I understand not liking art or art direction. Art is completely subjective and I have no issue with that part of this. So I wasn't really asking why you don't personally like specific piece of art or art direction. What I was wondering about, and what I can't understand, is how you can be so, for lack of a better term, self-centered regarding you subjective opinion to not understand how other people could have a different one either. I personally appreciate a diversity of styles, but can understand someone else liking consistency. Personally I think that is better for a 3PP than a wide audience product like D&D.

I also don't understand how you can see the clear technical skill of what is presented and call it crap. Maybe it is semantics but not liking something =/= the thing I don't like is crap. Maybe you are just more cavalier with your insults on someone's hard work than I am, IDK.

FYI, regarding the pieces you posted (thank you for that) I don't have an issue with any of them at first glance, though none are my favorites either. I do like that wyvern much better than the one in the MM . They seem to all be of good quality IMO (therefore not crap), although some are not my favorite style.

You know, maybe because I am an artist myself I have more appreciation for the art than some? IDK

Maybe you are just more cavalier with your insults on someone's hard work than I am, IDK.

Consider me cavalier I suppose then. Calling something I don't care for garbage is just my opinion, and only an insult if that person decides to give my opinion value. And as I said, one man's garbage can be some else's treasure.

I feel the same way about music, movies, books, sports, and pretty much every thing in life.

What I was wondering about, and what I can't understand, is how you can be so, for lack of a better term, self-centered regarding you subjective opinion to not understand how other people could have a different one either

I know people like some of this art, and have a different opinion, but frankly I really don't know how they can like it. If you want fuzzy, unclear, blotchy, disjointed, cartoony, etc. then enjoy it--there's plenty of it in the new books.

Maybe not from the PHB, just 10 images from fantasy that you like. That's fun and I consider doing it myself. Though it might be a little off-topic for this thread, I think we can afford, after 615 pages, to drift a little...

Though reading the above comments, I can see that maybe starting another thread for that might be better.
