So just a side question - as you all know I'm a traditional artist - I have a YouTube channel ( http://www.youtube.com/@cyryc ) with no commentary gameplay and I've been using ChatGPT to make AI thumbnails for those videos. The channel isn't monetized anyway, and I've been using it as a creative outlet for layout purposes, mostly using in-game screenshots and official assets. My question is, would there be any interest in me posting those here since they are about 1600x900ish size, good enough for wallpapers. Naturally, they would all be posted for the Free Tier, not monetizing them at all.

I think it's cool, not just to see more of your work but to then also get to know you better. Only recently after our Borderlands discussion did I learn of your channel and now I've watched a few of your videos. So, as that was my introduction to another aspect of your work, maybe posting the wallpaper style layout might introduce others to it as well.

my personal preference is to keep it *mostly* traditional. you clearly have the talent to create, so using AI can be an incredible tool to augment your work. I was against the use of AI-images for a long time, but I was convinced to try using it as a tool, not to replace my own work, but to augment it; to visualize scenes I have written (I'm a lousy artist, but I definitely can write a thousand words for each pic I'm generating); and even to "preview" how some of the custom-tailored outfits/props I make would look for the model I work for (saving us time, effort and money). so long as you use AI as a tool to augment your work, rather than as a shortcut, I'm sure we'll all enjoy what you have in store for us. (ps. my personal favorite pic you've made is the one of Dr Forester with the Infinity Gauntlet)
