A blog starts


Hey all, Ikka here. I'm starting up a little project that I've been thinking about foe a while- a small portion of Night Lords that will narratively be mercenaries working with my Ebon Word WB force. This blog will document their lore and the WIP process that I'll be going through to make them. It won't, hopefully, distract me from my Votann army/blog, as this is going to be a more hobby/painting intensive project than the Votann, whom I will be speedpainting.

 

As a note, I'm using/used generative AI for certain portions of this project, mainly for the artwork as I am not an artist. I used AI to start off a concept for the NL, as I had something in my brain but really couldn't express it correctly (and to be honest, had been up way too long and was fuzzy-brained from lack of sleep/caffiene). From the AI's basic outline I edited and re-worked elements until I had something that was acceptable, and then added onto it to make it my own. I understand the issues with AI and if you don't agree with using it I understand, feel free to not look at my stuff here. From here on out, aside from a character pic or two, there will be no AI, just dumb human modeling and painting.

 

Anyway, here's another blog and thanks for looking!

Unfortunately, it'll be a couple of weeks before I can even get started on this project as my models are currently in transit and with holiday shipping.... But I have some lore and fluff close to ready for some of the main characters, so I'll try to get that up in the next few days.

Assuming you used AI to help with the Kordesh and Carrow character portraits in your lore/background posts… It has added a nice touch to the write ups for me at least, writing as a As a hobbyist and fan of the setting. Very reminiscent of the older GW presentations.

 

I also get the broader concerns people have with generative AI and appreciate you calling out that you used it.

Yes, the portrait/character pictures are one use of AI, as is the Shrikeborn symbol of the Night Lords batwinged akull with a chainglaive/lightning claelw. Its just things that I cannot do, as I lack both the talent and time to learn the artistic skills needed to make them. I just wanted to be as upfront as possible and let people know that these are not things that I came up with myself and did use AI to generate it.
