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

Some Orc wedding material

In The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, the PCs can meet Octavian Meliamne, a "slender elf with pale blue skin and black hair" who "sits curled in the shadow of a gray, six-foot-tall toadstool, playing a somber tune on a double flute."

DALL-E can manage the elf OK, but it doesn't seem to know what a double flute is, not even when I specified that it consists of "parallel pipes that are connected with a single duct" as per Wikipedia.

Ah well. These images are still pretty cool.


Fantasy / comic illustrations:





Oil / acrylic / watercolor paintings:





Photorealistic digital art:

A tiefling acrobat and completely original character with no comic book inspiration whatsoever. Honest.

Okay, maybe a little.

Or a lot.

Your new character seems like they've been one of my favorite characters for 40 years. I wonder how that happened so quickly?

I'm just that good.

I present you a realistic, I am not joking, medieval jousting lance. It looks like every picture I have seen of them, just look at the details. Sigh, DALL-E and weapons are... a challenge.

Tried duplicating the composition of a photo of Cailee Spaeny...



... with my character Celestia.



It was a bit of a challenge working within the character limit. Using the words "tights" or "hose" almost always gave her mid-thigh stockings, had to use "yoga pants" to get this. On the positive side, DALL-E can consistently produce a pair of Mary Jane shoes.

So here are some variants of the Animal Flow stuff I was working on last night...

This was a standout because it reminds me of Eddie from all those Iron Maiden album covers from my youth... Except Eddie just dropped a cross-genre Metal/Rap album.





I love this one because of the psychedelic/surreal imagery...



On a side note, it passing strange that I get admonished for my prompts violating the community guidelines because it might disturb someone and then with some rap lyrics it goes HAAM and gives us these. Don't get me wrong, they are amazing but there is a disconnect between the rules for you and I while there is a different set of rules for the AI...

BTW, if you haven't heard of Ren check out his work here on his YouTube channel . He recently dropped a hip-hop album Sickboi, but he is so much more than just that. It is a deep rabbit hole so follow the rabbit Alice.

Last night I attempted, with mixed success, to get DALL-E to produce images of my dwarf glory paladin, Helga Hammerstone, in various well-known comics styles:

Archie



Peanuts



Powerpuff Girls



Calvin & Hobbes



Asterix



Tintin



Scott Pilgrim



Doonesbury



Far Side



Dilbert



Garfield



While it clearly didn't always get these styles right, the important thing is that it didn't give me a content warning for any of them. It seems none of their owners are as zealous about protecting their IP as Disney is. Have at it, folks!

It has rejected several of my prompts asking for something in a specific "religious" style like when I wanted medieval church frescos, especially when what it depicted on unholy side.
