DinoFolk Character Tokens, Part 2 (pt 1 is here)

Another 10 Dinosaur-Folk tokens I made for the D&D game I’m playing in, to fill out the world that Albert Sauros, Noted Spiritualist, comes from. In this case a world of Victorian Dinosaurs. This set of character tokens was made with Midjourney v4.

In your game/head, they can be any fancy reptile-humanoids you like!  Use them for character portraits, game tokens, inspiration for a new PC (or OC) or tag yourself, as you like.

While these are all modified with cleanup and compositing, these are all free to use for anyone who wants to, thus I have not signed these pieces to make things easier.

Prompt format:

a <either dinosaur or specific species>-anthro <profession>, 18th century clothing (or other descriptor), character design, white background, fantasy character art, colored line art, in the style of 1st edition D&D, <artist/style references>

For style references I wound up mostly with a Tony Diterlizzi/Norman Rockwell mashup.

OC of mine that I am very proud of. Zina Theris, a therizinosaurus dinofolk. Featured in both casualwear and adventuring armor. Sure, the armored doesn't look too effective, but she is already naturally tanky. And being able to naturally imbue her claws in elements such as fire, ice and lightning definitely helps.

She is primarily designed after Zino, the fire elemental vivosaur (with terrible accuracy for a trade of high a critical-hit rate) from Fossil Fighters. The intention behind her design: COMFY. I mean, just look at that fluffy tail!

Today is a very special day for all of us here at How To Hero. Today we introduce our very first ever guest post written by an actual factual (well, more or less) superhero! Unfortunately, we’re not as popular amongst mainstream superheroes as we would like. So the only hero to return our email was, well...

Dinosaurs

by Professor Paleontologist

Dinosaurs, the big mean primordial birds from Quebec, and Manhattan, and Beijing, and Sydney, and the Congo, and Chile. That’s right, they’re from everywhere, even where you’re sitting right now. Your home might once have been a dinosaur’s toilet. Think about that the next time you insult dinosaurs or the people who are into them! You live in a dinosaur crapper! For lots and lots of years dinosaurs were the kings of the hills. Every single hill. They ruled the entire world. In fact, they had such a fearsome reputation that aline races wouldn’t even venture to our moon either. Keep in mind, at this time Earth’s moon was home to countless priceless treasures and technological wonders. (It was promptly picked clean once the dinos went extinct which is why its a barren rocky chunk of chunky rocks today.) So you could make the argument that the dinosaurs ruled the moon too! How many moons do you rule? None probably, so how about we show the dinosaurs and the people who can summon them from the past some respect hm? They ruled the moon!

Because of their awesome might and killer hairdos (that’s one thing you can’t learn about dinosaurs from a trip to the museum! Most dinosaurs had phenomenal hair!) they’ve persisted in the hearts and mind of the public long after most of them tragically gave their lives valiantly defending the Earth from the Sentient Meteor Shower. Kids today love dinosaurs and that’s because kids today are smart. For some reason there seems to be an expectation from older generations for kids to outgrow this love of dinosaurs at some point and I’m going to level with you folks, that has always perplexed me. The elderly are the people who are the closest to the generation of the dinosaurs. Those halcyon days where dinos roamed the Earth and planet flourished under their rule. They should appreciate their influence more than anybody and pass down the lessons of strength and nobility that were passed down to them by their ancestors, who were even closer to the dinosaurs. (I feel like I haven’t quite down justice to the magnificent hair these majestic creatures had. This hair was soul cleansing, emotionally uplifting, life affirming, breathtaking. When I look at a dinosaurs luscious hair I feel as though I have been forgiven of every sin and misstep I have ever made. I feel unshackled from all of my doubts, unburdened from all of my anxieties. I can say with complete sincerity that the day I first laid eyes on the glorious mop of hair of an ankylosaurus is the day I was reborn as a greater man than anybody in my family tree had ever been. To see the hair of a dinosaur is to be smiled upon by a gaggle of heavenly angels. I feel as though my life has been extended by at least thirty years. There is nothing in this world that can elicit a joy nearly as pure as the joy I feel when I look at the hair of a dinosaur.)

For some reason it seems that adults who study and appreciate dinosaurs are considered to be nerds! Let me tell you, as both a professor and a paleontologist I find this to be quite troubling and confusing. Truly it is one of history’s greatest injustices that dinosaurs have been relegated to such a demeaning role in society. If dinosaurs, ginormous, powerful, beautiful scholarly, princely, graceful dinosaurs are considered nerdy then what’s cool? Sports? You don’t think dinosaurs could utterly destrominate you in sports? You’re going to look me in the eye right now and tell me that a deinocheirus couldn’t outhrow and professional football quarterbackman? You don’t think a velociraptor can outpace any track and fielder. You’re going to come into my house and tell me that an iguanodon wouldn’t absolutely dominate in a thumb wrestle??? Professional basketball players have yet to break past the 8ft mark (granted, yes, if the NBA would lift their ban on giants it’d be a different story but we all know that isn’t going to happen thanks to Tine E. Giant and the incident with the fire extinguisher and the chinchilla) yet the sauroposeidon stood at over 65 feet tall. Clearly they would win at all the sports. Stick some sunglasses on them, maybe a giant leather jacket and even the spinosaurus  could be cool. Look at Cowboy Rockstar, universally considered the coolest person to ever live, he’s part T-rex on his mother’s side! Dinosaur are cool and you’re a fool for insinuating otherwise. 

Unfortunately, it seems like only supervillains really “get it.” They admire the great strength and power and ferocity of these terrifically toothy titans and often seek to try to emulate them or recreate them. Now, there is a major film franchise showing why people who know jack all about dinosaurs shouldn’t be messing around with them, so obviously all of these attempts are going to end in disaster. For one thing, these villains often don’t have the foggiest clue as to what dinosaurs are actually supposed to look like. They just go for those pop-culture lizards instead of the fabulous feathery friends they really were. And they always forget the hair. That deliciously beautiful hair. So I mean what’s even the point right? These crude facsimiles are often no match for the dinosaurs at my disposal and so the situation is often rapidly contained before the public ever even needs to be alerted to the fact that there’s a rampaging triceratops on the loose. (Gosh, and don’t even get me started on the amount of “ferocious herbivores” these mad paleontologists are creating. A baby-eating stegosaurus is highly inaccurate! You absolute madman!) Pop-culture dinosaurs are probably the greatest threat to our society. They’re all scales and fangs and they fail to capture the true beauty of the creatures they purport to be. And they keep including dimetrodons and pterosaurs among their number! Those guys aren’t dinosaurs! You’re embarrassing yourselves! The golden locks of a pterosaur were not nearly as luxurious as those of an apatosaurus. Yes, I can still summon them with the talisman given to me the dinosaur elder ghosts, but that doesn’t make them dinosaurs! I just have a very diverse powerset! 

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you have to fight some of these mad science dinosaurs and you can’t reach me on my cellular, here are a couple of tips to help ensure your survival. For some reason, mad scientists keep creating Tyrannosaurus Rexes with movement-based vision. This is just totally insane to me, as it has no basis in fact and even if it did, you’d think these so called men and women of science would be smart enough to not include that in their homemade abominations. And yet, time and time again, they do. So if you’re being menaced by a featherless T-rex just stay completely still until it either gets bored and moves on or dies of starvation because it can’t find any mobile food. If you’re coming up against a velociraptor you’re in trouble. Mad science generally creates velociraptors several times larger than they actually were. And also they’ve given them the ability to open doors. Which makes no sense. Why would velociraptors have that ability! There weren’t any doors when they were around! So your best bet is to have a giant doorless room dropped around you, cutting you off from the raptor and keeping you safe inside until I can get down there and unleash a carnosaur on them or something. If you’ve found yourself coming up against a parasaurolophus hoo boy, you may be in trouble there. Manufactured parasaurolophuses tend to be able to breathe fire. Don’t ask me why. Obviously they couldn’t do that. But these one’s can. So if you’re going somewhere and you have good reason to believe that a parasaurolophus might be there (they are most frequently found at free outdoor buffets and tailgating parties, they’re suckers for free outdoor food), pack a fire extinguisher. Recently, I’ve noticed a trend where mad scientists replace the distinctive crest on the top of a parasaurolophus’s head with a sharp blade. This is also factually inaccurate. The parasaulophos’s crest was used as a homing beacon for an alien species known as the Cothargi. Not that the Cothargi ever followed the beacon (nor were they ever able to explain why an entire species from a planet none of them had ever visited was naturally able to make contact with them) since they were terrified of being eaten by dinosaurs. 

Another instance where you might find yourself encountering dinosaurs is if you visit (or get shipwrecked) the Isle of Dinosaurs. The Isle is a thriving ecosystem that was started by a group of dinosaurs who survived the war with the Meteor Shower and retreated to a secluded island to lick their wounds. Since then it has become a haven for all manner of dinofolk. They’ve got alien dinosaurs from Crodunk, some mad science rescuees, I’ve even been known to put some of my own dinosaurs there for safe keeping. Currently, the Isle is defended by that pompous BiteLock and his Droidsaurs who have set up a base there and also by the fact that literally everyone there is a dinosaur. It’s a lovely place to visit if you have the time and think you can handle the glorious sight of dinohair.

Dinosaurs are the most important creatures to have ever roamed the world. Without them we’d be nothing. They’ve ruled everything and could easily beat you up if they wanted. They’ve got spikes, clubs, horns, teeth, tails, luscious hair, Literally there’s nothing they can’t do. So show some respect, unless you want them to be Tyranno-sore at you. (Or stega-sore, or apota-sore, or tri-sore-atops, you get the idea.)

DinoFolk Character Tokens, Part 3 (pt 1, pt 2)

Another 10 Dinosaur-Folk tokens I made for the D&D game I’m playing in, to fill out the world that Albert Sauros, Noted Spiritualist, comes from. In this case a world of Victorian Dinosaurs, this set being mostly professors from the University. This set of character tokens was made with Midjourney v4.

In your game/head, they can be any fancy reptile-humanoids you like!  Use them for character portraits, game tokens, inspiration for a new PC (or OC) or tag yourself, as you like.

While  these are all modified with cleanup and compositing, these are all free  to use for anyone who wants to, thus I have not signed these pieces to  make things easier.

Prompt format:

a  <either dinosaur or specific species>-anthro <profession>,  18th century clothing (or other descriptor), character design, white  background, fantasy character art, colored line art, in the style of 1st  edition D&D, <artist/style references>

For style references I wound up mostly with a Tony Diterlizzi/Norman Rockwell mashup.

Vibrant Outrage

This is the new vibe.

-

Free-to-Use character portraits and fashion inspiration made in Midjourney V4. Tag yourself as you desire, details on the process under the fold.

Much like the dinofolk, there are minor edits, mostly to fix color and tone balance, incomplete borders, etc.

Prompts were mostly variations of:

painting of a person wearing a costume, by Fujiwara Nobuzane and Sharon Knettell, tumblr, pop art, 80s color scheme, <celebrity here*>, no background, neon hooves, zig zag, star, curvy accentuated figure, very fashionable, with shoulder pads, banner, kitsch fashion, synthetic fur, born this way, young idol, new wave chaos, very dynamic, starry, fashion icon, image

Long time followers may notice that's not quite my normal prompting style. That's because this was an experiment with using Clip Interrogator 2, an image-to-prompt AI process.

It's still early days and isn't terribly accurate beyond vibes, which is fine for my process. It's like the early days of google translate, where you could get wild, strange stuff by passing a text between multiple languages. relatively easily.

It also fills in nicely for image prompting, since its basically the same process but converts the token language back into a prompt rather than leaving it tokens. This allows for editing, and also helps get around Midjourney's hair-trigger NSFW filtering, which often finds leotards and legwarmers downright obscene.

Given the nature of the above pics, it shouldn't be hard to guess what I started with.

Sharon Knettell's work is right there with Earl Norem and Hector Garrido in downright iconic 1980s toy package art, her Jem work has beautifully subtle shading that makes everything look half-real, half-fashion sketch. I wanted to see what the AI made of it.

The solo Pizzazz (I think) produced this:

a close up of a person wearing a costume, by Fujiwara Nobuzane, tumblr, pop art, 80s color scheme, kylie minogue, neon hooves, zig zag, star, very fashionable, with shoulder pads, banner, kitsch fashion, kermit, synthetic fur, born this way, young idol, very dynamic, starry, fashion icon, image

Which I modified in various stages and combinations. Blending with my own phrasing, chunks from other CI2-derived prompts, and changing references associated with color and celebrity. You'll note that it didn't identify Knettell. This isn't uncommon with CI2, it picks up on "vibes" more than specifics because that's how the AIs work. the mix of influences of Fujiwara Nobuzane, tumblr, pop art, and every other part of the prompt blend and iterate off each other to create something new.

Early results were too cartoony in a traditional 1960s comic book fashion until I blended the intent (Knettell) with the guess (Nobuzane and the rest), which still produced a lot of wild offshoots. A more comic-booky set of these gals is coming, to be sure.

Occizosz the Dinofolk Warrior. Heck yeah I made up a new species for a new D&D campaign. Occi uses Lizardfolk stats but has a black Dragonborn breath weapon as he’s based on the dilophosaurus. He’s cool.

DinoFolk Character Tokens, Part 1

My DM wanted some dinosaur people for members of Albert Sauros’s species, and so I pulled together 40 character tokens of soldiers, nobles, scholars and knights for the purpose using Midjourney v4.

While these are all modified with cleanup and compositing, these are all free to use for anyone who wants to, thus I have not signed these pieces to make things easier.

Prompt format:

a <either dinosaur or specific species>-anthro <profession>, 18th century clothing (or other descriptor), character design, white background, fantasy character art, colored line art, in the style of 1st edition D&D, <artist/style references>

For style references I wound up mostly with a Tony Diterlizzi/Norman Rockwell mashup.
