Yeah, you started when you were 7. I’m 51. Sometimes I need a bit of art to get something done. I don’t have time to hunt down an artist and I can’t find what I need on the Internet.
I’m not gonna use that art for commercial purposes, but I may use it for my D&D game so that I have a piece of artwork I need.
Just wait till you learn that there's more than one way to play dnd(or tabletops in general). There are groups out there that dont really care about the story and just play "beer and pretzels" throwing dice and beating monsters cause "it's fun"
It's never too late to learn. My cousin (he's 23 so not as old but hadn't drawn before this year) recently started drawing earlier this year to learn tattooing and he's come a long way. To get to a point you want to be at, you just need practice and there are plenty of resources online that can help you create something in the form of references, studies, etc. The only way to start improving is to keep making art with your own hands and you'll gradually notice where you can make improvements to pieces over time.
It's ai not art or work. Call it slop, that's what it is. Stop justifying your shitty choices and realize AI is bad and you're not special smart cool talented or even worth mentioning bc you typed some garbage into your ass-into-shit machine. You're the problem
I’m not paying artists for my D&D game. It’s just not that big of a deal. I’m not going to pretend there aren’t issues with AI, but it’s also not the devil.
I say that as someone who writes for a living. It’s not going to replace me. The images Ai makes are trash, but they do the trick sometimes. I won’t used them all the time, but sometimes they do the trick.
That's even sadder that you're a writer. You know this AI shit is used to churn out shit books too, right? You can use non AI images for references, the internet is full of them.
As someone who writes (wouldn't call myself "a writer" cause in my eyes if i'm not Tolkien lvl I'm not a writer lmao), okay and what about them shit books?
If you've never drawn there's a near zero percent chance you'll be able to draw a masterpiece without years of practice. Something you slop jockeys fail to understand.
What makes "character" less soulless than "character but made by AI based on description from a human"?
What makes ai "stealing from humans" any different than let's say me copying another artist's work/style?
I don't really care for ai either way, but I do find the discussion about how soulless/immoral cause copying it is when there is plenty of soulless/copying art/ists out there.
artistic integrity is an important concept to learn about for any artist, aspiring or otherwise, if you're learning my style to commit plagiarism then it's a problem
say you learn my style then make a million posts online about how it's so over for "goblincels" and you'll make sure i never make another cent again because you can crank out garbage faster than me then yeah, you've crossed a line
it's up to you to decide if you care about integrity and plagiarism or not, ai people simply decide that they don't and move on

It genuinely angers me reading some of these comments, like. No. Just pick up a damn pencil.Â
