AI Diversity Is Hard

The Updated Section Image

This is the last of the 36 rules-specific illustrations that needed to be updated. Which took all of 2 weeks. There will be more for the faction-specific fluff, although some of those are done already. But the only thing left to update in the rules is the photographs of gameplay situations. For which I'll be using the 3rd-Party miniatures and terrain that I painted up for Gencon a few years back. That's all ready to go.

But the reason I'm so happy with this particular illustration has to do with its difficulty. Given the inherent biases that Stable Diffusion (my AI model of choice) has.

Re-Illustrating WarStrike With An A.I.

This job market isn't as easy to find employment in as the media lets on. Not by a long shot. But I've managed to establish myself as a graphic/programming freelancer with a couple of good clients.

Fortunately, because I'm now a full-time contractor, there's no limits on what I can create and sell outside of work. So I've cracked open WarStrike's rulebook, and am currently working on upgrading my often so-so stock art collages with much better images generated by an AI. Which has been an interesting experience.
