D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

I am pretty sure Image Editing models can preserve character identity by now. I'll give it a try later to see what can be done. Some would indeed be nice.

Taking @LuisCarlos17f group image, I used FireRed Image Edit 1.1, running on local computer, and gave it the original image and following prompts:

Redraw the image to:

1. Remove the character on the right (8 steps, 17 seconds)
2. Remove the three characters on the left (8 steps, 17 seconds)
3. Redraw the hand on the right so the palm is open and five fingers can be seen. Make the hand small and keep everything else unchanged (40 steps, 130 seconds).

It took two tries (the first prompt #3 got me a larger hand that I thought fitted the rest of the character, so I added the part about the hand being small).

Also, tried to fill the rest of the image:

Make the character wield a longsword, holding it sideways with both hands.

Here's another of my painted miniatures, the ogre porter from Reaper 5, with an AI background:

And my repainted Wizkids Atropal in an unholy temple:

I asked Grok about a group of teen female characters for an amateur isekai story but each girl was from a different year, 1959, 1979, 1999 and 2026. Grok showed some funny dialogue about the potential cultural shok. It was like watching the trailer of an upcoming comedy film where there are only a couple of ideas but you can imagine the rest. Then I asked the same to Gab AI but this told me a different point of view of those characters.

I have tried and I asked Gab-AI a group of playable species for certain new setting focused into the legacy and nostalgy.


1. The Anachronists (The Bearers of Duty)
They represent the unwavering will of eras where honor and sacrifice were the norm.

Origin: They come from civilizations where hierarchy and social duty were the pillars of existence.
Racial Trait - Steel Temper: Once per long rest, when faced with a threat endangering their allies, the Anachronist can ignore any condition of fear or doubt, gaining advantage on all Wisdom saving throws.
Legacy: They are excellent leaders. Their presence grants a bonus to group morale, as their belief in the "natural order" calms the anxieties of the younger members.

2. The Copper Echoes (The Architects of Memory)
Beings who feel history as a physical vibration. They are the collectors of truth in a world of lies.

Origin: They emerged from times of technological transition, where information was the most valuable resource and irony was the shield against uncertainty.
Racial Trait - Historical Vision: They can "read" an ancient object (over 50 years old) to see an emotional fragment of its last owner. This allows them to uncover hidden clues in ruins that others consider junk.
Legacy: They are the living archive of the group. They are obsessively concerned that no life or sacrifice be forgotten by time.

3. The Silicon Nomads (The Adaptives)
Hyperconnected beings who have lost their "network" and desperately seek a new purpose in the physical world.

Origin: Hailing from eras where the individual was defined by their digital projection and their ability to respond instantly to an endless flow of data.
Racial Trait - Algorithmic Reflexes: They possess a superhuman ability to process patterns. They can use their reaction time to add their proficiency bonus to AC against an enemy attack by predicting its trajectory based on previous movements.
Legacy: They grapple with a constant existential crisis: who are they without their digital environment? Their evolution throughout the campaign consists of learning to value material reality over the virtual.

4. The Earth Weavers (The Legacy Artisans)
Beings who believe that true value lies in what can be touched, built, and cultivated. They are the answer to the emptiness of the modern world.

Origin: Civilizations that, after the collapse, understood that technology without virtue is the cause of ruin. They have merged with the essence of the earth.
Racial Trait - Hands of Creation: They can repair objects (even magical ones) or heal organic beings with unparalleled efficiency using natural materials. Their touch accelerates the growth of life.
Legacy: They are the pillars of the group. Their obsession is to leave a world better than the one they found, rejecting cynicism.

5. The Sentinels of the Veil (The Seekers of Truth)
Beings that act as bridges between different temporal worlds, capable of seeing through the distortions of reality.

Origin: Entities born from the collision of worlds, who preserve fragments of all eras. They act as judges of morality in a world that has lost its way.
Racial Trait - Instinct for Transcendence: They can briefly "shift" to a parallel temporal plane to evade an attack or pass through a physical obstacle, reappearing a few seconds later in a safe location 30 feet away.
Legacy: Their concern is balance. They understand that if the survivors of previous eras do not learn from their mistakes, the cycle of destruction will begin again.


(Here the prompts were by Gab AI and the art by ChatGPT). We may agree the racial traits could need a redesign but I am more interested into the concepts and the potential source of inspiration for your own stories.
