I've been putting a bit of time into generating some nice pictures to use for promoting the SGS Monster Raffle today. I've been very fortunate to know fellow Aussie @ausbitbank who is not only a guru when it comes to generating quality AI Art, but he's given me access to his test environment so that I can play with the latest and greatest version of it. I have to say I've been blown away by how good it is....
There was a bit of discussion earlier about the Monsters being used in our promo material and I was having a lot of trouble generating monsters that were suitable. They were turning out to either look demonic and frightening, or they were too cutesy and child-like. So I decided to go back to using Precious the Mermaid as our "Pin up girl" and I'm pretty happy with how the artwork has turned out.
There was a lot to choose from and I did end up going with one which was almost perfect, except for the fact that she looked maybe a bit too sexy with her curve on display but she otherwise looks really cute. You can check that picture out HERE but I thought I'd make a post out of the others that didn't quite make the cut as it makes for a nice gallery.

I really liked this one but there was just too much gold. I had a lot of trouble getting the treasure chests to just have silver coins.

So close with this one too but her tail was a little bit strange. I do like the cheekiness of her inside the chest though.

Looking good here with a bit of side-eye to the camera man but this one just missed out because of the tail again.

Another cute one with that cheeky look that I think suits Precious well. The chest was just too small to represent the awesome prizes of the Monster Raffle.

Here she looks a bit like a Mermaid Dwarf as the tail is a bit short. Very close to what I was looking for though!

Another really good one but too many gold (and copper?) coins to work for the Monster Raffle promo shot.
Overall it was time consuming but still fun to play with these images. There was a heap more that I generated but lots of extra legs, feet, toes, tails...stuff that I could never use. I hope that people are happy with the one I've chosen to use for the main promo post, but if people want to use any of these other ones then please feel free - just add a link to the Discord of @ausbitbank to give the credit.
