I am doing both! Oh, my poor children, how neglected they are… Just kidding I’m taking them for trampoline park and pizza in ten minutes. But I asked an Ai to turn one of my hand weapon hobs into a drawing. And now I feel useless.

Sheesh!! What AI tool and prompts did you use? I really like the clean lines on this. It reminds me of the old card art from the HeroQuest cards (spells/treasure/etc). I’ve been looking for something that’s capable of making HQ art that doesn’t immediately scream _AI slop_ as soon as you see it :wink:

Sadly it is not that easy. I started with a 3D render and said: "Turn this into a hand drawn black and white illustration as seen in role playing game books in the 1990’s. High contrast and deep black shadows. " I tried Grok, Gemini and ChatGPT. This was by far the best that came out. Honestly, I have had much better results with Photoshop and Samsung’s phone filters. This is by Samsung:

I just don’t like a workflow based on luck, I guess. Predictability may improve, of course.

not at all marko,
as i saw this i couldnt understand at 1st glance wtf was felt wrong about it, then i started to notice wierd things going on, because it didnt look like what we are used to see you doing
then i read the text and i saw it was some bullshit ai stuff
dont you ever doubt yourself, what you are doing is something those automatic processes cant do on their own
and please, please man, for the love of your own time invested and grown skills, dont ever imput any of your work into that hell pit of mediocrity, nonsense, slop and theft they call ai

Your work is so inspirational it convinced me to sign up for this whole site just to say something. I adore how the retro look is carried forward in your sculpting! Those Bull Centaurs and K’daii are some of my favorites. Signed up for your Patreon as well and can’t wait to get printing. Love your work!
