I think that’s really harsh. The original art is still available, for free. So what if a few gamers choose to modify it to match their own needs or interests? And distribute that for free too (by law AI art cannot be copywrited).
There is some serious thought and creativity, and I do mean *human* thought and creativity, that goes into these renders and alterations. Have you argued with an AI? They’re actually really stupid. There is an *art* to getting them to do what you want!
For so many of us, describing a thing in words is far more accessible than trying to hand paint, or even use more traditional CG tools.
Personally I love the flexibility this gives *me as a gamer*. I can render my own characters in a style and look I like, that will be unique to MY playthrough of the game.
And yes, I’m well aware of the drama with all things “AI”. My wife is a professional designer, she has sold her art, she has a BFA from an Art and Design college. She worries about where all this is heading. And yet she isn’t shy about using AI and AI tools in her projects. We live in complicated times, and this won’t be going away.
@Rodrian I don't have an ounce of shame! I OWN the copy of ALL these games... it is within my right to enhance them or not. As long as I am not selling or making money off their content.
I don't care whether the portraits were created by AI or a human. If I like the result, I'll take it. The last two portraits are very good, I'll definitely use them in my games.
Jaheira's new portrait is also very good. Keep it up, guys.

(Fingers are still crap... Vasculio?!?)
AI's weak point is hands and fingers. So if I ask AI to fix the hands just bare in mind the hand or hands might reposition. But I will give it a try
I'm considering a new position of the hands and staff...
I'm going retry without influencing a new design for the shoulders in a folllow but here this journey I took so far
Shiva?
This piece annoyed me so much. And AI didn't want to remove it.
My last attempt for now
No shoulder paldron
With shoulder paldron
Another random I made.

I put everything I posted into spoilers, so just don‘t click on it if you don‘t like it. I couldn‘t care less.
I do that only for the larger photos. The portraits scales. I want them to be seen!
@atcDave you make a good point.

Man2 is also great.
Illasera has been enhanced, as far as I can see.
