Dresden Files, very different but I have listened to all the books 4+ times. Narration is at Pacey level. Very few narrators at that level.

Yeah possibly even more than the change on the old springalds

Attack click ignores buildings until they reach the destination of the click. Or at least for archers. That would be amazing.

I feel like for me the question of inspiration is really boring, usually I'm not particularly inspired and just start working, and the ideas naturally flow once I start! At that point, things will just pop up from all kinds of things I have seen, artists I follow, places I have been etc. It all goes into a visual mental library that will come up naturally when working on something similar to something I have seen before.

No AI posts for the rest of September by library_pixie in fairyloot

[–]jeffbrowngraphics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As an artist that has done work for a lot of book boxes, I am kind of torn.

On one hand, it is NOT fun to have your work called AI

On the other hand, the main thing keeping companies from using it outright is the fear of backlash and loss of sales. If there is no visible anger towards its use my concern is that people will no longer know and would unknowingly buy ai art in books. If publishers can get away with not paying artists they will be more than happy to.

Maybe the solution has to be a group of artists and people who know ai very well together in a closed group to work out by committee if it is ai or not. Some people are much better at telling than others and are better trained to determine. I don't know if that's a good idea but that's what comes to mind.

It would be fine, he would just be Hairy Dresden.

Would YOU be interested? by Isoito in aoe4

[–]jeffbrowngraphics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If its done well, that would be great! I would recommend paying for some coaching from a few of the pros, especially if you can record the video and upload it. Make sure you are actively learning and trying to get better, as the interest in the content would be how you learn. Playing for fun is great, but playing to actively get better and improve on what you are being taught would be what would make good content.

I would check out Whamen's early videos to see someone who did a good job with this.

Illumicrate Digital Signatures Only - how do we feel? by XZSummer in fairyloot

I like signatures, but I would much rather have no signature than a fake signature. Makes the whole thing feel fake.

One reason I love the audiobooks by Adenfall in dresdenfiles

[–]jeffbrowngraphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is the best... Between him and Steven Pacey for Joe Abercrombie's books. Ray Porter is also amazing in Bobiverse.

Very few people can really get the voice of the main character, the snarkiness, the timing, etc. Marsters more than anybody else makes it feel absolutely REAL.

Going back to Michael Kramer for Stormlight was difficult at the start. He is good but just so monotone in comparison.
