What do you guys use to get art for your characters? Aside from commissioning art, of course.Do you use any character creation software or page?AI Slop?Do you draw them yourself?
>>94382896AI slop, my standards are low used to use pinterest before that was easily accessible, given it's the easiest place to filter the dogshit out of
>>94382896AI slop. If not AI then as low effort trash as possible. I will play an MS paint squiggle before paying someone to draw for me.
>>94382896A couple of my players just rip off of the last gacha game character they jacked off to. Another two slop it. I just do a mix of slop and stealing art from ArtStation, Pixiv, Twitter, etc.I've only a few times played with actual artists, but every time (and I mean every time) they would have a mental breakdown over petty reasons and have to leave the game.
>>94382896I use slop if images are really needed. Otherwise, I just prefer imagination. Drawing for the game is too much of a hustle.
>>94382896I grab something off a booru or generate something with AI then eventually just draw it myself.
>>94383122>Drawing for the game is too much of a hustle."hassle"And I never draw for games. Or for anything else; my brain doesn't work right for doing that. (Maps and diagrams are different; my brain likes them. Stupid brain.)
>>94382896That's one huge Borzoi
>>94383141I have the opposite issue, I CAN draw but man I get frustrated. I just can't translate what I see in my head to the page and it's extremely demoralizing.
>>94382896Sloppery.
>>94382896I have commissioned art from different artists for unrelated purposes (some game dev project) and really it convinced me that commissioning art is dumb.People only really make art that's worth anything when they actually care about what they're illustrating, otherwise it's a mix of "slop" (regurgitating their previous work or other media soullessly) and "noise" (random preferences or inspiration they had that day that isn't necessarily even connected to what you wanted).So, now I prefer just doing my own shitty drawings rather than throwing away money for "cool, but I can't really connect to this piece of art".
>>94382896I just draw or rip images from existing sourcebooks if i need a monster or whatever. Actually i hate ai "art" because whenever i search for something these days my results are polluted by low quality trash from shit sites like cray.ion or whatever its called.
>>94382896shut the fuck up faggot
>>94382896take from internet and fix with paint. I would like to commission art, but my inner pennypincher always talks me out of it.
I've stopped using art altogether. One day, one of my players will try to draw something and I'll embrace that.
This thread is fucking gay and OP is a faggot
>>94383141Oh, well, I can draw a little, on a kid level. Never practiced. I just see no point to spend time on it. I think in TTRPGs it is more fun when for each player his imagination fills the gaps, making experience more unique and personal.
>>94383375shut the fuck up faggot
>>94382896Nowadays it's ai-generated art. Some of it is great.
>>94382896AI slop is infinitely preferable to people grabbing random art off the internet. Nothing takes me out of a game faster than some faggot using art of a character I recognize.
I think it's pretty crazy that you guys embraced AI Slop so easily.I came into this thread hoping to find shit like "yeah I use this char creator it's not perfect but it works" or people flexing their art.Like, I get using slop for NPCs, but surely it's hard to get the right results when you want a character to look the way it does in your mind, isn't it?
>>94384067Honestly it's never been easier.
>>94384067It's very easy and only takes a bit of tweaking around. Would be even better if I knew how to actually fuck with editing an image, but not something I actually care enough to learn. I also use it extensively when I run games. NPC art, scene images, reference images, maps, phone conversations or the like so I'm not just chatting to myself for them to hear. That especially I was a bit proud of. Just write a quick script, had an AI voice mixer(was surprised how much tone and emotion I could put in with punctuation and spelling tricks) read the different lines, and spliced the sound files together.
>>94384067I ran a Sonic game with a homebrew system once and had everyone make their characters in one of those japanese character maker things, the one /v/ used for their "ironic" sonic oc threads before they became unironic and got banned to /trash/
>>94384067I mainly browse pinterest and boorus (and /tg/ art threads), though even regular old google image search will get you some results you probably won't find anywhere else.
>>94382896>as playerI tend to doodle my own character portraits, pic related. A guy in our group is an obsessive 3D proonter so we usually get more or less fitting models for our games.>as GMI search the interwebs for pictures. I haven't generated anything myself but if I find a slop picture that fits the visual in my head, so be it.
>>94384067>char creatorI would but I can't find a good one. Right now it's my godawful pencil drawings
>>94382896Pinterest and google images. There is so much free art you can find anything without having to use a shitty AI image generators. That being said my current character was

>>94385536you are the biggest faggot I've ever seen
I use the character creator for a porn game.
>>94385545shut up fag
>>94385569kill yourself fuckhead
>>94384067It's because the only people left here are the ones who do the bare minimal to create and offload the work.
>>94385557which one
>>94384067>char creatorMuch easier to get exactly what you want from slop than from character creators.
>>94384067Saw someone use some superhero character creator for Paranoia, and it worked there since everyone wears uniforms, but otherwise you're likely to exceed the capacities of any character creator unless the scope of the game is limited. RIP to all the X-Com tokens I made for shadowrun, replaced by something that is compatible with Trolls.
>>9438406710 minutes slopping is preferable to hours trawling a booru
>>94385483>>94385449Anime website, go back to xitter or reddit, whichever you came from.
>>94382896I draw them myself. I sit and spend an hour or two on a free afternoon to do various art for either a game I run or a game I'm in as a player.>>94384067Why wouldn't someone use ai?>>94385316Some of my students could do that but I don't know if they would be fine about being advertised on this place.
>>94382896>>94384067I don't even know why you'd need to use a character creator unless you want something ultra-specific.There's so much perfectly serviceable character art floating around out there. I often just save whatever I find and then look through folders of images when deciding what sort of character to make. This is extra true if you're playing a human or an elf ranger or some similarly popular/generic combo. And sometimes by hunting down art in that way the character picks up other small details that you might not have thought of yourself. That's basically what the entire purpose behind any given character art thread is. Why commission something or grab some AI slop when there's a mountain of inspiration for characters to play that already exists?
>>94388451Oh, it is pleasantly evocative.
I draw mine. favorite part of character creation
>>94384067>I think it's pretty crazy that you guys embraced AI Slop so easily.4chan is primarily a porn site, all the people here are chronically watching pornnow think for a second and tell me why would you expect a community with terminal porn addiction to reject AI slop? by what logical basis would a community built around porn, which is THE slop, all looks the same, rendered the same, drawn like shit, dumb as fuck and creatively broken, so much that AI porn is indistinguishable from the shit made by the "human" guys, NOT embrace AI like the second coming of Christ?this community was never the creative beacon they pretend it's been at any point in time: every single defining thing that came out of 4chan was someone else's creative work, down to the fucking site mascot, nothing 4chan has made originated from 4chan. Of course there were drawfags posting porn, and that's because it was still worth it for them to advertise here, until the tumblr nuke. Of course you probably know that porn peddlers make entirely derivative work, milking whatever franchise is popular at the moment before moving to the next thing. So even including the mexican hookers who were using the site to advertise their shit, the creative drive in this community was always plagiaristic. Now tell me why would a community whose entire output is plagiaristic reject AI slop?How the fuck did anyone with a brain not expect that THIS community above all communities, would not turn into a fucking shitheap of AI garbage the fucking second AI became accessible? Think about it logically for a second
>>94388451>>94389832>Why wouldn't someone use ai?Sort of expected the grogs to be luddites.>>94389166See, that's kind of the point. My table isn't playing standard fantasy stuff and we want something more specific.
these fucking timers absolutely killed my desire to post >>94386630>all the X-Com tokens I made for shadowrunpack that up in a mega or something and post it , please!
>>94390051Oh okayif there's a file in there you can't open it's probably because it's a paint.net file I used for backgrounds.https://files.catbox.moe/td4yz7.7zPlay X-Piratez and X-Com Files for more spirtes, they had a lot of updates since I made these.
>>94384067AI is great, it'll destroy culture but it can't be helped.What I don't use that often but really love when I do is being able to reformatpdf passages that arereally shit to copyinto handouts andnotes
>>94388451>Some of my students could do that but I don't know if they would be fine about being advertised on this place.we could talk over discord if that works
>>94390483thank you!
>>94382896AI of course is fast enough that it's a go-to. But, if I want to play a character I'll take time to draw them. I'm doing a Pathfinder one-off beginner box thing that definitely won't last long and I still had a lot of fun having an excuse to paint. It's a fun hobby even if it doesn't turn out looking great.
>>94390922I want to cumboard your character.It's like waterboarding but with cum.
>>94385654Honey Select 2
>>94389938As a reminder the luddites were protesting the exploitation of workers. This isn't the own you think it is.
>>94393306Who said it was an own?
>>94391046touch grass
>>94382896>Character artAre you playing only online and having an avatar is absolutely obligatory?Because any other situation means character art is not just useless, but fucking pretentious, especially when it's not even donut steel commission
>>94399251>only MY type of fun is allowed!
>>94382896Used to request a LOT in the drawthreads, I think I ultimatly got around 200+ delivery, some were just shitposts from game sessions moment but still. But now that I have a decent job and not much spendings, I commissioned quite a lot, around 40 pics, mostly for pcs or npcs that at least had a good mileage in their respective campaignOnly tried to draw one of my character once, pic related was very disatisfied, and i'd rather get a commission, guess it will make for a decent reference.Would never go for AISlop, I won't say anything if someone uses it in game, but I really hate how it looks most of the time
>>94382927Pinterest is great <3
>>94382896I use AI for characters, monster standees and to enhance maps and typography.AI art is fucking awesome and I won't pretend it's not rad just because the fucking deviant art crowd are afraid it kills their dream of ever making money off their shitty drawings.
>>94399363>Point>(You)
>>94399363Different anon, but:- what are the logistics- what is the pointof bringing your character's image for an actual pen and paper session? What? You plan to print it? Pass the phone around the table?And most importantly: for what purpose?So yeah, he has the point - it's pretentious as fuck when done by actual table.
>>94399636This. AI is a godsend.
>>94399698stfu nerd
>>94399811
>>94399811>Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next product
>>94399636I've never seen a good AI generated monster.
>>94400395I'm not in control of what you have and have not seen, anon. I am, however, fairly certain that you have internet access.
>>94399698stfu nerd >>94399941>Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next productWe're talking about bringing a picture of your character to the game session.
>>94399698>You plan to print it?>Pass the phone around the table?I draw it on the spot.>And most importantly: for what purpose?I also illustrate situations that happen in game while we play. it helps to present how ridiculous some situations ingame are. Should I not use my craft to help visualize scenes? Is it not a more complete experience when you see what the character looks like while you also hear the description of one? You seem very distrustful of visual communication.
>>94400520>I also illustrate situations that happen in game while we playAlso different anon, but are you saying that you need a visual prop to a game of pretend?Are you saying you are a fucking NPC?
>>94400520If I hear the description, I get to imagine character any fucking way I want it, based on that description. That tends to activate almonds. A lot, if done right. If you shove me a picture and say "it looks like that", I've got your vision of it, and nothing to picture, because the image is already there. Which defeats the whole fucking point of even doing this kind of stuff. It's the same problem as with a whole fucking lot of baggage people who come from vidya background always bring, along with passively waiting for "script activation". But in the end of the day, doing this by table is weird and will continue to be weird, on the behalf of what >>94400658 brought: you are playing pretend and yet need visuals for it to even properly convey what's going on. It's counter-productive for the whole thing, and your little shorthand, not to mention it is also a well-known rookie online GM mistake to have images for things - and in very short order your game is a powerpoint presentation.Also: you can't draw, so why lying?
>>94400658It's awesome that anon doodles and visual aids are a great way to get into a game. You're a self-important dipshit, shut the fuck up.
>>94400684>a well-known rookie online GM mistake to have images for things - and in very short order your game is a powerpoint presentation.Dumbest shit I've ever heard. My group currently plays on Tabletop Simulator and here's where our Spelljammer game stands. Pictures are wonderful, stop being pretentious little dinks and eat a million dicks.
>>94400447Or you could just, you know, post one of your AI generated monsters.
>>94400836I feel no need at all to engage with you about what you think is and isn't good, anon. I don't give a shit. My table uses them. Do your thing.
>>94382896I usually just browse Deviantart, Artstation and Character Art threads that pop up here on /tg/ usually since pinterest is just annoying to use nowadays. If I can't find the art I'm looking for, I just use the free version of Dreamup on DA for slop of varying quality.
>>94400841Anon I'm not here to be a dick and tear down whatever you find good enough to use in your table.I genuinely want to see what works for you because so far nothing has for me so either I'm doing something wrong when prompting or nothing will satisfy my weird standard.
>>94382896I mostly steal stuff from pinterest and then make tokens with tokenstamp, although I'm a DM and rarely run a PC
>>94388451>picrelThis is great lol
>>94400794>I play onlineThanks for confirming what was obvious from the start.Go bring pictures to actual table. See the reaction you will get.
>>94400841This >>94400892I've literally genned monsters myself and never felt satisfied with them.
>>94400658>>94400684Ah i get it now. You guys completely lack the ability to comprehend visual communication. Are you one of the picrel types? This is the first time I ever hear people rejecting visual supplements to a game.>a well-known rookie online GM mistake to have images for thingsGenuinely insane opinion
>>94401620>Post stupid claim about people playing games online>Be told you're wrong by people who play games only>"Haha you play online"I get that you're trying to inflate your own ego by being a douche bag on the internet. But I'm confused about how it's supposed to work if the things you say are so retarded.
>>94399698>>94402163>t. seething artlet
>>94402962Because it's cope. He's got no games at all, so he's coping by insulting people and pretending he's superior (he's not).
>>94388451Honestly that's great anon
>>94382896I collect cool character art I like just for this purpose. Currently sitting at 2104 images and it's all organized by characteristics so I can search through it easily. That being said if I have a unique image in my head that I don't have in my collection I troll through art station, pinterest, and google images to find whatever is closest.
>>94382896I still don't get where and how people use character art at all. Is this some online thing? Because when I played you maybe would doodle your character out but nobody was printing out portraits to say that was me. Hell half the time we didn't give detailed descriptions beyond the broad strokes.>DM: There's an elf in front of you. He's wearing an uh uh brown tunic and he has grey hair and blue eyes.>No I don't have grey eyes.>Let me see that sheet.>Well it says blue but I decided I wanted grey eyes.>*annoyed* WHATEVER. Okay you guys can talk to each other now.
>>94403850In my experience it's mostly an online thing. My in person games we never worried about having a character art image.Honestly it's one of the few things I like about playing online is being able to use so much cool art for maps and characters.
>>94403850>>94403898In all of my games (been playing for about 16 years or so) most players got invested enough that they wanted to have portraits of their characters. But then again, I played with the weeabs and artsy kids. Most of us at least tried to learn how to draw, and those who didn't would just ask someone else to sketch up something for them.
>>94384067>ai slop ai slop ai slop ai slop ai slopJust kill yourself, please.
>>94403988Nigger even the AI general is called /slop/.
>>94382896Just grab a random thing off the internet, maybe edit it a little.Sometimes I'll just draw the thing.
>>94388451>why wouldn't someone use AIIt looks really unnatural, is often WAY too busy to use in any kind of token form, and outs you as an AI faggot.
>>94403981man if someone printed out some image he found to be his character art in an actual real life game I don't know what I'd do, that's just retarded.Doubly so if that shit's AI, the guy didn't even want to put in enough effort to think of a thing he likes, but he went to all the effort to print it out and show us.It effectively would mean he's a human extension of an algorithm.
Ballpoint pen in the character portrait window on my charsheet printout.Any fuckup while painting is incorporated as a canonical trait of the character
>>94405381Honestly that's some gigachad behavior.
>>94382896I’ve tried to teach myself how to draw several times but I just don’t have the patience for it.
>>94384067>surely it's hard to get the right results when you want a character to look the way it does in your mind, isn't it?Most people who embrace AI so readily either don't have something in their mind already or have such painfully generic taste that the lowest-common-denominator approach of generative AI is perfectly suited to them. Anyone with any imagination starts to push the boundaries of what AI will give you, and god forbid that you've put any real thought into the setting and its details. Several races in the setting my players and I have built together over the past decade are more or less impossible to get AI to generate consistently.
I just make all of my character art, and draw various things from the campaign that were funny. It's sorta crazy to me people are fine without having any creative control over their stuff.
>>94403850Why is the DM describing one of the PCs? Players describe their characters, the DM describes NPCs.
>>94405622Sounds like you needed to teach yourself patience and discipline first.Easier said than done, of course.>>94405632I think this is exactly my problem. I have a very specific view of what I want my characters or monsters to look like and no matter how much I prompt I end up disappointed. Not because the generation quality is bad, but because the result doesn't really match with what I had in my mind.Then I have the same problem when drawing, often more frustrating because I put more time and effort into it. But in that case, even with my skill issues, I at least get closer to my goal when it comes to specific details.
>>94405673Seems like you're talking about the gacha AIs like bing. Try using one with inpainting.
>>94405730At a certain point, it starts to sound like as much effort, if not more, than just learning to draw.
Even at my absolute worst when I just couldn't manage to engage with art at all, I never felt like I wanted to hand the reins off to something else to do it for me. I don't want to resort to like>HURR PEOPLE WHO USE AI ARE DOGSHITshitflinging, I just really can't understand the mindset at all. If you hate the process of creating art, just don't create art? What's the point of making something if it's not yours? Even commissions I've done of other people's characters I still was happy to put my approach to it down.

>>94405331>It looks really unnaturalAnd bad art does not? >is often WAY too busy to use in any kind of token formWrong. Most people who use ai need really simple stuff like basic character portraits or some semblance of clothing. Hell, I've been getting a lot of ai art as reference these days whenever I do commissions and it definitely helps because people don't know how to present their characters>and outs you as an AI faggot.You'd rather have faggots hidden away, mingling among us, instead of letting them wave their red flags out in the open?>>94401611>>94403569Thank you>>94405822>Is she a con artist?No, she is actually a very crafty redneck. She is a baker and a trader by profession so she knows at least how rich people act. We only really needed to pass the gates into high society so looks were the most important. If she was forced to utter a word, the whole situation would've collapsed (She sports a thick redneck accent (think Texas + swamps)). Luckily we had an actual educated Half-elf swindler who knows how to speak like a noble.
>>94384067i would have never commissioned a character or used a creator anyways i would have just searched google images till i find something close so ai is perfect

>>94405348I mean I'd probably just give them a bit of a cross look, and shrug it off with an "okay" and then nobody would ever bring it up. Like if they just say MY CHARACTER LOOKS LIKE THIS! It's like.... whatever. But how often are we going to be looking at this stuff.
>>94382896I gave up and stuck with AIslop. It's not like I get to play characters anymore anyway, I don't bother saving anything.
>>94405730You can inpaint bingslop as easily as anything else, anon.
>>94407137Natively? Because that's my point; if you're only using a gacha AI you're going to think it's not capable of making what you're envisioning.
>>94406197It's the only reason that comes to mind. If you LIKE creating art, creating art isn't any kind of burden for you, it's entertainment. I'm deliberately trying to avoid the>AI users are bad at art argument
>>94406197Why would you use AI art as anything more than a reference if you actually liked drawing? That’s like getting a bot to play a video game for you.
>>94407845Yeah, and I create art with AI. What's the problem?
>>94407845AI puppeteering is a skill itself. It’s why AI “artists” are usually so protective of their prompts. I’ve always assumed most people who get really into generative art have terrible mental visualization and a collection of words is easier to picture in their mind than the mental image an artist would just start drawing.
>>94408292It's not you creating it anymore than someone commissioning me is creating the art. You're just finagling the machine into making something like what you're looking for.
>>94408317>AI puppeteering is a skill itself.No it's not.
>>94382896I sometimes go to picrew.me or pinterest for some basic NPC art, but sometimes I just go to drawthreads to get my character done.Pic related is what I got from the drawthreads a few months ago.
>>94408407Why not?>You're just finagling the machine into making something like what you're looking for.And this somehow doesn't count for you screwing around with a tablet because?
>>94405963bad art fits right at home with most tabletop fantasy aesthetic, yeah. Especially if it's sketchy black & white.And no, people who use AI cannot get it to stop adding extra details that mean nothing and make the token less readable.And as an AI faggot, you'd want people to not know you were an AI faggot.
>>94405797>>94407845I don't enjoy creating art. It's well past time for me to somehow unlock the mystical ability to draw that you talent denying "artists" insist exists. Why am I not allowed to prompt?
>>94409208>cannot get it to stop adding extra detailsprompting a toon style works pretty well
>>94409216Ah yes, because you want goofy as your pc.
>>94409328I don't mind it
>>94409343I'd rather an easily identifiable scribble
>>94409211Literally anybody can learn to draw, you're just lazy. I put in my years of practice and experimentation to get where I am, and I'm a piece of shit. I'm not a high bar to beat anon, have some self-respect.
>>94409194Correct, me screwing around with a tablet is me consciously making every design choice, laying down every line and swatch of color on the screen. You putting a string of words into a machine is just telling the machine things without any actual input into the end product
>>94409430>>I don't enjoy creating art>So spend years practicinglol
>>94405963Thanks for the info, hope the dye washed away eventually
>>94409208>And no, people who use AI cannot get it to stop adding extra details that mean nothing and make the token less readable.Skill issue.
>>94409584Then everyone who uses AI is shit.
>>94405632>or have such painfully generic tasteLike the average TTRPG player. And when they try to get fancy with it, it sucks more because the bases of an enjoyable game aren't covered, and it's worldbuilding wank.
>>94402163>>94402962>>94403316>Complain about seething>While doing exactly thatEpic contribution to the thread. And way to prove his point
>>94409208I feel like so many people these days have somehow been brainwashed into thinking their characters and game need to be perfect before it starts. Everyone needs the perfect character art, the perfect dm the best story the best role play. Nobody gets that there's a very real chance your games gonna to shit before the third session. Not because anyone's fault, not because anyone's being a dick. But you just have a bad role and that fantastic character portrait you acquired is not a level 2 dead schmuck. And then it's the end of the world for them because they can't process the idea of the game just being a game.

>>94409879Yeah, I don't know. The game's just a game.Though I will get upset if a character that takes longer than 10 minutes to make dies. You fucker, now I have to do it again.
>>94409879>thinking their characters and game need to be perfect before it startsAlthough I agree with this, that depends on what you consider "perfect, detailed artwork". I share your thought that people might get attached to their characters rather quickly, especially playing games/campaigns where there is a risk of them dying, but then again, portraits that I consider scribbles or a bit more detailed sketch i've spent an hour or two some consider detailed artworks. So it's a relative term.>>94409208>bad art fits right at home with most tabletop fantasy aesthetic, yeahYes, for 40 year olds who remember that. Kids today can't imagine a ttRPG without a phone with rule bookmarks and/or digital character sheets, ai art and even 3D printed minis. Times are changing. Accept that things are different and you are becoming a minority. I don't think that's a good thing but it's the reality.>>94409462Yes it did wash away eventually. You can find more of her in this thread >>94311258 so I don't repost the same images all over again and clog the thread.
>>94410526AI art hasn't been a shitpost topic long enough for kids to be used to it, anon.
>>94409926>Though I will get upset if a character that takes longer than 10 minutes to make dies.You might get annoyed. You might get mad in the moment but it's not the end of the world. You scuffle with the DM but you'll put the character in the back burner and probably play it again in a new game.
>>94382896>What do you guys use to get art for your characters?Is it online?No? Then no point getting anything at all>Aside from commissioning art, of course.It's called google search bar. Made 1000000 times easier now with AI generated images. Still, few bucks to earn on someone too stupid to look for some generic shit? Who am I to deny them?>Do you use any character creation software or page?GIMP is always good>AI Slop?When I don't care and still need a picture>Do you draw them yourself?SometimesBut really, doing character art for any other purpose than just adding it to your gallery is pointless as fuck. Looking for it, too. If you can't cover who your character is in three sentences/single paragraph (if it's a text-based thing), then you have serious issues. If you need it for anything else than (a mandatory) avatar, you are doing the whole fucking hobby wrong.
I've always sort of felt like online character art is kind of a lot like old message board signatures and avatars. The more effort people put into those the less likely they are to actually have anything interesting to say.

>>94417048I always find an appropriate picture is better than one with a lot of effort.Players will actively appreciate your faceless NPCs having an entirely faceless token, for instance, even though that took like 5 seconds to set up.
