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

[Parmandur]

It's funny how it sometimes puts nails/claws on gloves.

EDIT: I have no boosts left, and now it won't let me create anything even without them.

Same here, nothing in the hopper,no chance to put something in, no boosts

Must have gotten too overloaded.

And I was hoping to create some art for my game tonight, too.

@Vildara I think you were using Dall-e 1, Bing uses Dall-e 3.

Yep, that's that. It also gives us a mean to measure the progress made in 18 months.

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

A world of adventures, from the crashed spaceship of Barricade Summits to the deadly Loathful Crypt!

The Gygax version of the Elder Elemental God in the World of Greyhawk... Not the Monte Cook version as an aspect of Tharizdun...

Oerth Journal 12, Thus Spake Gary Gygax: Ye Secrets of Oerth Revealed, pg. 9:

In its true form, Vilp-akf ’cho Rentaq appears as a huge, squid-like creature having ten hairy tentacles and being mottled with various shades and tints of purple and violet. In this form it has a single golden eye that turns a fiery red-orange when the being is aroused.

It took awhile but this prompt started to deliver what I wanted...

Prompt: Establishing shot. Gigantic squid-like creature with one eye and ten tentacles. Eye golden, hungry. Tentacles writhing, hairy, mottled with shades and tints of purple and violet. Cosmic horror. Altered states. Hellboy 2004

Here is a variation with it consuming a small moon...

Some more with my earlier experiments with Baklunish women and Flan men from Greyhawk:

 

[Parmandur]

Still nothing, so here are some more from messing around with Flan (specifically going for Rovers of the Barrens folk) and some more Baklunish.

Bollywood movie (set dress and characters default to Indian, will occasionally produce Indian celebrities. I've spotted Alia Bhatt as Dorothy Gale, Deepika Padukone as Glinda the Good Witch, and Shahid Kapur as the Tin Woodman, but the AI did the casting, not me)

I've seen very obvious Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kim Kardashian faces at times. Not sure if it's just chance in those cases, or whether like in the Bollywood scenario it's due to the volume of of celebrity faces distorting the algorithm.

I've been playing with how well it recognises IP-specific terms.

a blood angels space marine firing a boltgun at a plaguebearer daemon in a ruined cathedral, high quality digital painting

It was able to interpolate from 'blood angels space marine' to get all the correct canonical armour and colour scheme without putting any actual bloody angels in the picture (it didn't nail the details of the heraldry, unsurprisingly!), but it didn't understand 'plaguebearer daemon' even when i added 'of nurgle'.

a space wolves space marine firing a boltgun at a genestealer in barbie world with a baneblade in the background, high quality digital painting

There seems too be a very hard threshhold where it ceases to understand the specialised terms, probably due to a lack of training material, and just makes stuff up or ignores items it doesn't recognise. It can understand 'space wolf space marine', but not 'genestealer' or 'baneblade'. I do like the little pink space marines sitting around having a tea party with Barbie though.

I had the same problem trying to get it to generate an image of a Zulu warrior with one of those distinctive pointed-oval cowhide shields. It has a very specific idea of what shape a shield is, and doesn't understand any of the specific terms - isihlangu, ihawu, ingubha, ikhaka or ikhawu (according to google)

It understood 'jabba', but not 'hutt', although it did put the stormtrooper in front of a very jabbas-palace building in the first case.
