Lately I've been using AI to generate character portraits since I'm terrible at art. This actually came in really handy for PaizoCon, since everything was on VTTs. Here are a couple of ones that I've gotten that were good enough to keep. They're definitely not perfect, but you can upload them back into Nightcafe and have the AI keep working on them later
Hokgnath Bladegnawer (Battle Oracle/Mindsmith)
Matu'uk Bladegnawer (Giant Barbarian)
Jerhyn Skorn (Throwing Magus/Rogue)
I've found that making a character in HeroForge and then plugging that into Dream.ai is the best way to do this. The HeroForge mini pose will help give the AI a good framework to build around, and you can tweak it with keywords in your prompt. This is how I made character art for my last few oneshot characters. :)
Thanks for that, I'm going to try that process out; one of the big issues I've had with Nightcafe is that it tends to generate a lot of character portraits that are missing limbs, or it interprets the description of weapons (not armor, though) pretty badly, so hopefully using the HeroForge image as a base will help with that.
No problem! Here's an example of what I made with this technique:
I stalled Stable Diffusion some time back and have since been using it to make a lot of character art as well.
Was to be my gunslinger character in a just cancelled game:
Was to be my fighter character in another game (Blood Lords) from the same group that just got cancelled (our GM is taking time away from tRPGs):
And my druid from a game that is just hitting it'd fourth session:
Installing Stable Diffusion gives you the ability to do large sized work, and to refine the results a lot more. That said, I work these back and forth between Stable Diffusion and Gimp (open source equivalent to Photoshop).
Here's the gunslinger, with some more refining I did recently:
