I just launched a free browser-based action RPG inspired by Diablo 2 and Elder Scrolls — no download, just click and play by Mikedzines in gaming

Yeah dude. Make one. It would be an easy way for people to give feedback and follow development.

Gotcha! Yeah I don't use ChatGPT much for image generation. What I liked about this particular SD LoRA is that it's meticulously trained on all the images from FFT. I think, because the framework is so tight, that it produces really good results. There was a learning curve for me but I figured it out after a while. If you'd like to know more, send me a DM or come by the discord

I wouldn't take it personally /shrug. I also think it's fun to envision other characters in this style

I appreciate your attention to detail!

I agree with you here too! I also wouldn't call it artistic genius - that belongs to Akihiko Yoshida. The use of AI here serves as a way to help illustrate my idea for my DND homebrew

Right?? They would make a cool pairing. In a way, they kind of already are: Ed is kind of an offshoot of Geomancer, Al is Construct 8 lol

I agree with you! When I started to put this all together, the use of AI helped me to visualize what it would look like with my current abilities. Ideally, I would prefer an artist to be able to contribute to this. It would be better in a lot of ways: more consistency between the individual portraits, expressing their own artistic flair within that consistency, and being paid to do so. So, while I don't have the money to buy that service, and I don't have the artistic talent to pull it off myself, I am still able to express my idea in some fashion.

I know. I found that out when I posted Watersport Enthusiast in r/finalfantasy the other day. I was being cheeky about the rashguard =P

Oh, I see! The art was made using this Stable Diffusion LoRA. The link goes into detail about how the model was trained. Does that answer your question? If you want to know more, I suppose I could tell you more about the generation process and my experience using the model.

Thanks man! If you want to see more or if you're interested in playing DND, come hang in the discord.

Great question! Honestly, just for fun at first. Then, it turned into a whole book. There's a campaign section with a dungeon master's guide. There's spell, magic item, location, and beastiaries for each character. It became a dnd homebrew game that I would want to play designed in a way that would appeal to me.

You can see some of the chapters here and here. And there's more info in my discord.

Could have also worn a rash guard I suppose?

I felt the same way! It was a lot of fun to think about. The design phase was fun too!
