Just posting here from a discussion I started in the IWDEE section:
https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/88553/ai-portrait-generation

I've been experimenting with generating character portraits using free online AI art generation tools. I've been writing about it on my website here:
http://www.zenosziggurat.com

Any of my portraits are free for use, but the real goal is to help others learn to make their own.

Check us out!

    I've started re-imagining some BG1 NPCs for a potential new run. A few posts about it on my website, and also a thread with pics in the BGEE Forum:

    Also includes some fun pics of Imoen trying to get a rise out of various other NPCs:

    Imoen annoying the others looks great! I love it haha. I used AI to generate art for my silly halfling PC too. I wish I had looked at your prompts before attempting it seeing as how you've gotten pretty good at Ai prompting.

    Thanks for sharing the tips on how you generated Imoen and Neera. I've adjusted them to my own designs and got this for a book, cover.

    I very much thank you for your posts here. It caused me to look into AI art creation for organizing my BG head story, and I have to say that I'm incredibly pleased with how well it's turned out. It was seeing how well your initial suggestions worked and reading the suggestions on your webpage that drove me to work at it. So... thank you very much.

    As sort of a thank you, here's one of my favorite images that I created using your Imoen tags:

    I prefer a more anime-esque style, but the suggestions in your examples have been so very useful.

    And thanks to experimenting with this, I discovered that Aerie and Viconia make an excellent comic duo.
