yeah but is it really worth it to learn how to draw and color etc only for the purposes of a D&D portrait? maybe for some, and obv my players get the choice to do whatever, but with day jobs and lives, getting together to play itself is a commitment so I don’t see the issue in creating a one-time portrait just for the purposes of quick execution

I’m also a musician and artist and I rant about AI art and its effects all the time so yeah I get it

my players love to generate their portraits with AI bc they feel they have agency on how to present their character on the board
