Where do you guys get your pictures for your characters. They’re all very cool

Thanks -- I make mine on bing.com (there's a thread here on enworld about using dall-e). I find it helpful, though I am conscious of the ethical issues in using ai art for publication/profit.

I just googled image generator and played with the prompt till I had something I liked. If you run out of credits, just change image generators ;-)
Cheers,

SG

Same-ish as @Kobold Stew ... I used to try and find an image and, when possible, give credit to the creator of the image. But that doesn't pay them either. I use commercial artists for commercial work (anything for my actual work), but I started playing with AI generators to make Shamal and Caer Droea. I think that deepai was the one used for Caer? It's fairly limited (you can't refine an image) but I liked the quality once I got the prompt right.

I decided to play a version of the Cloud Genasi Marshal (as a Paladin) that I came up with as an NPC in one of my games. He's in the RG now. (Though I couldn't get the art to make his skin slightly blue, nor his hair to go quite as cloudy looking as I'd like). He's also got little lower tusks, like cloud giants do.

So, only a warlock for a caster? I'll have my warrior tomorrow

You can use chatGPT - it now includes the option to generate image (uses Sora in the background) - just know that each time you use any of the great models you kill several acres of forest or ocean or rivers depending on the source of energy of the data centar and its cooling

I’ll post an elf cleric of Corellon Larethian this weekend.

That's how I feel as well - I use it for fun, I find it amusing, but when it comes to commercial use I'd be very much against it.

I'm leaving this morning on a camping trip and will be back Sunday night. I should have everything sorted to start things up by Monday. I'm not sure I'll have time to put a post up before I leave so Feel free to RP all you want until then.

@Lidgar @Neurotic If you could get a post in before Monday, that would be awesome.

Would you consider giving "battle gauntlets" one of the mastery properties? I decided to try grappler fighter instead of monk, just to see how good it would be.
I could go with "spiked gauntlets" (daggers that aren't throwable), but...punching and grabbing people with steel gauntlets seems more fun and less murder charges in tavern brawls
