Cover illustration for Draw Steel adventure ~The Red Road~ 😈 #MCDM #DrawSteel #fantasyart #fantasy #ttrpg #painting #traditionalart #acrylics #battle

A group of heroes being swarmed by a horde of gnolls. An Orc Fury is swinging her axe, the Hakkan Null is bracing for a bite from a gnoll in mid-jump and an Elf Elementalist is casting a spell and reaching into the Void.
From the darkness of the forest emerges a hyena-like behemoth.

Update #2: Quicksilver, a detector for AI-generated music. Most folks today are not aware that AI-generated music (entire songs generated by AI models) are growing rapidly. Today, there are more AI-generated songs than human-created songs arriving each week on platforms like Spotify.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Swen Vincke @LarAtLarian

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI.

We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do.

I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists.

We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison.

I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more:
https://gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-dev-embraces-machine-learning-for-tasks-that-nobody-wants-to-do/1100-6531123/

We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

An orc burning with red flame, covered in spikes and weapons, holding a greataxe crackling with blue lightning Khorva's eyes glow white and fire bursts from her veins into an blaze surrounding her torso and head. She wears a horned skull helm, a red studded leather cropped breastplate, a wide belt with pteruges, and spikes all over her armor. She wears countless blades around the back of her skirt. Her two-handed greataxe shoots icy blue lightning in a V-shape toward us. She stands atop spiked crystals

I wanted to thank you all for the overwhelming positive response to my cover art for The Delian Tomb! Your kind words left me speechless number of times! Here are some details of the painting 😉 #mcdm #drawsteel #thedeliantomb #heroes #goblins #blacksmith #fantasyart #ttrpg #fantasypainting

Detail of the heroes in the painting for The Delian Tomb cover. One hero is a human man with blonde hair and shining armour, blue magic blasts from one hand, while the other hand holds a glowing mace. The other hero s a female elf with a flowing cape and a sword made for swashbuckling.

Big shoutouts to the testers for both Draw Steel and Daggerheart. Neither of which would be the games they are without rigorous testing. The hours of unseen work identifying bugs, making suggestions, and kicking the tires on every designs revision truly makes them the Liver of the game design body.
