[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 9086251, member: 40359"] Yes, it certainly isn't all AI art since there are [I]a lot [/I]of other credited artists beyond that one person. The various images posted around seem to be related to the frost giants, as well as at least one of the dinosaurs. Many are pointing out that the dinosaur image in particular looks an awful lot like someone took the concept art and pumped it through AI to create a (slightly) new image. That one is questionable enough that the original concept artist herself is worried and is contacting WotC to find out what is going on. [B][I]IF[/I][/B] it is the case that it's just her concept art pumped through an AI engine, then it's at least incredibly sketchy to do that and not credit or compensate her as an interior artist. Plus, I know many of the other artists who worked on that book (and many other 5e books) are passionately anti-AI art since it is already harming their ability to work. So, of course not everyone has a problem with AI art, but regardless of what any of us think, many of their long-time freelance artists are deeply opposed and will be very unhappy with WotC taking this turn. Probably not a good idea to piss off a large chunk of your freelancer pool. [/QUOTE]
