WotC: 'Artists Must Refrain From Using AI Art Generation': EN World Tabletop RPG News & Reviews
After it was revealed this week that one of the artists for Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants used artificial intelligence as part of their process when creating some of the book's images, Wizards of the Coast has made a short statement via the D&D Beyond Twitter (X?) account. The statement.....
WotC to update artist guidelines moving forward.
You're viewing a single thread.
Also, I think it's patently dishonest for the artist to imply that their sketches (which are not in the same pose as the original concept art made by another artist) was used in the AI generation. The end result clearly used the other artist's work as a basis for the image generation. It seems obvious to me that Ilya profited from other artists' work, and tried to pass it off as his own with some half-baked deceptions.I was in error with this comment! I am leaving it up as an abject lesson. See the below linked set of pictures that gives more or less proof that Ilya Shipkin did use his own artwork for AI processing.
How do you come to that conclusion? What other artist are you referring to? All I could find were 4 pieces, 2 before AI enhancement and 2 after. The pre- and post-enhancement pieces are extremely similar. The pose and colors used are identical, the AI basically just smoothed the colors over and brought out some details. I didn't see any differing poses or concept art.
Huh, well I had an incorrect conclusion.
I went to find the original artwork, and I found this picture.
I had not seen the bottom left picture yet, I had only seen everything else, which lead me to conclude that the artist did a few sketches to imply that he had more intermediary works that he did.
I retract my prior comment!
