Chapter three is nearly finished and ready for consumption. With that said, as part of my ongoing attempts to better my writing, I've gotten into the habit of AI generating character artwork for characters, so as to better have a mental image of them in my mind, before describing them.And now I find myself wondering if people would enjoy having this character art prefacing the chapter in which the character is introduced?Above is an example of one I did for Leona prior to actually writing anything about her.Some may want more. Some may not. Some may have an ethical aversion to AI art. That's all fine. This is just me trying something new and having fun with this series.So, I figured I'd put it up to a vote.

Can we also get one of the magistrate?

For me at last its completely fine to use AI art to make characters, at worst this can be said to be a sketch, because in the end if you weren't planing on making art for then and used the AI because it was free and a quick way to help visualize then there is no wrongdoing

Chargcake

I mean. Without the art, people just make up the characters in their heads just from reading the chapters. I think you should just write and then comission a artist to paint your characters. I think just AI generating it with some inputs is lazy and doesnt do the soul of your stories justice.

Blue Fishcake

I mean, that's the way it's usually done isn't it?

Chargcake

yeah? Sorry is this picture of Leona AI generated or comissioned?

While I'm sure many will say that these should be commissioned works and whatnot, that just may not be economically (or timewise) feasible for this type of work. I personally like making mental images of what I think they look like, but having a concrete image to work from is nice too sometimes. A number of Light-Novel writers will include illustrations from time to time, cementing the looks and styles of the characters. Again, would be great to get full art done by a person (especially for things like arc illustrations or book covers), but I can dig having some mock-ups AI done for just character introductions, as long as those don't get pushed to print (due to copyright and ethical issues inherent with AI image generation). Ultimately up to you, but I'm certainly not against it for character introductions and fast prototyping of styles. Plus you can use these as base references for when full art is made to make things easier on the human artist.

Ah yes, soul. Just what you get from an artist when you commission them... for money.

Folly Industries

To paraphrase from someone more eloquent than me, "AI is a tool, One that is certainly having some ethical teething problems with valid concerns but at the end of the day just a tool. Same as the typewriter and the printing press". That said it might be prudent to only share the artwork here and maybe not on the reddit, with a wider non-paying audience.

Chargcake

they get paid you get art done by a human. Seems good to me and better than AI generated.

Sid The Bear

I'm of the opposite mind. AI is quick, anonymous, readily discarded if disliked, and, most important for something like drafting, free(ish)

Belqinor

Not only that, but you get a lot more control to bring your vision into reality then working with most commissioned artists. The cost of putting out 20 or 30 images from a commissioned person is absurd if you want even the slightest bit of quality, the only difference is you don't get "the robots are going to take my job" complaints.

Belqinor

Not only that, but it will be us the patreon members, who end up paying for the commissions instead of the livelihood of the writer.

Joe ?

Anyone that thinks they can opt out of consuming ai art is going to have a rough awakening in their near future. It's happening, nothing to be done about it. Better to be ahead of the curve.

Christian

AI art does have some issues, because it has to use other artists work to get an idea of what to generate. If it were me I would commission people, but I’m not going to tell someone not to save time and money by just generating something.

The Fire Piper

Yes please. Having some sort of visualization of your characters helps me picture the story in my head better. Johanson has been visualized in my head like Hanzo from overwatch and I know he is supposed to be blond and Nordic. I know this is a "me" problem, but knowing better what you as an author think what the characters look like really is appreciated.

jaylau

I like forming my own mental image before seeing the art, but I’m up for trying out the reverse. Sometimes I feel the commissions don’t do the characters justice anyways. But more art is always fun, AI or otherwise!

Jerry Isdale

Enjoy your several series. The latest havent had their own fan series take off, which is quite fine by me. Love the art to go with. Look forward to the graphic novels in their time

Terran_Armor_core

The two character designs you have came out great, I thought your Leona came across a little more south American then continental Spanish but then again your world's not Earth so maybe there was a higher level of intermingling, and thats the norm for Avernonians.
