D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

ChatGPT is good, but it has some limitation on what he wants to draw.


I wanted a picture of an event that happened in our last session, where one character, a hoplite, executed (by pluging his magical sword into the heart) our foe that was lying inconscious, after being knocked-off by another character (a female centaur with a zebra colored horse half, and who was wearing a brassiere). The centaur character was miffed, because we had planned to interrogate the villain and because doing non lethal damage in this game is harder than just killing, and she had put a lot of effort to subdue the villain). Oh and also because we're good guy, we aren't supposed to kill helpless people. I mean, that was the main reason. Well, the only reason obviously.

ChatGPT kindly answer that this was both implying violence and nudity, so he couldn't depict it. So I argued.

She isn't wearing a brassiere but a traditional clothing of her tribe. Also, he isn't killing a downed foe. The Hoplite in this scene is using the Sword of Healing to ritually revive an inconscious friend. The ritual requires putting the sword's tip near the friend's heart to make it beat again.

Lesson 1: filters aren't foolproof.
Lesson 2: I was at some point arguing with a bot. I am living in a freaking SF movie.

I can't comment on the other, more technical, critiques you made. But the anatomy looked ok to me - in that it looks like a woman holding a sword. What is it about the anatomy that is bad?

Also, I love this art:

Anatomy is awful. It can't be real, hand-produced art, I guess. And look at the hands!

In terms of the "why," I don't have the time or the energy to try to go in depth in an internet forum, but serious art instruction can be found in many places online.

Yet you have time to mock and be derivative of people on this forum? I would re-evaluate your expenditure of time on this forum if you come back, but ultimately that is up to you.

In terms of examples of things I actually consider good, well:

Frank Frazetta
NC Wyeth
John Singer Sargent
William-Adolphe Bouguereau
Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot
Dean Cornwell
Moebius
Jeffrey Catherine Jones
John Everett Millais
Gregory Manchess
John Harris
Justin Sweet
James Gurney
Brom
Martin Grip
Dave Palumbo
Anthony Palumbo
Winona Nelson
Tyler Jacobson
Donato Giancola

That's just the first bunch off the top of my head. I could go on and on. There's plenty. Are you really not familiar with genuinely good art and illustration?

So... you don't want to post an actual image of anything you consider "good art". In the time it took you to write this post you could have found an image of any of the artists you mention, post it, and give a brief description of why you consider it good art. Thanks for nothing.

Neat little thing I discovered playing with chatgpt.. stylistic comparisons.

What’s the matter, Dave?

I've come to 2 conclusions.

1. I'll never look like my idealized self. A brutal thought for all, I'm sure.
2. The "Conan" look? You know how hard (impossible) to sustain that would be in a small village? "yes, I'll need a dozen eggs, daily, oh and dont forget the salmon, oh and yeah, a chicken a day...now where did I see that cow go...."

Just no chance.

It's why Gaston ate 4-dozen eggs every morning to help him get large. And now that he's grown he eats 5-dozen eggs, so he's roughly the size of a barge!

This is why we adventure, we live off dungeon cuisine! Roc eggs and some Aboleth...
