SARPY Awards: Best AI Artwork of 2024

[Wes]

We've done a great job complementing (but not replacing) our human art with AI-generated artwork, which has helped us make tons of placeholder art for NPCs, items, and places of the Star Army universe, explore looks for characters and make lots of art for items and other things we wouldn't necessarily commission or make art for before.

Submit and vote on the best AI artwork of 2024!

This submission is for Poppy Pink in Explorer Uniform Type 47. The artwork is composed of two AI-generated artworks I merged together - one of Poppy's head and hair, and one of the Type 47 Explorer uniform that has been used as this year's "Trading Card" image for Star Army characters and NPCs. Both of the artworks were made using Midjourney Niji 6 with character references to my earlier AI-generated Poppy artworks (helping to give her a consistent look). I edited the uniform art to have Poppy's patches and rank pink and recolored the armor panels to the medical teal, using ancient Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.04 (a piece of software from 2001!). I also edited her eye color. I love this artwork so much that I made an animation with it!

This nomination is for the New Type 47 Explorer Uniform.

This is just one of the great AI pieces that @Wes has done with this new uniform. It is perfect for SARP.

Now while I 100% agree the Poppy pic should be the winner because it is what started all the other great pics, I'm going to nominate Wes' pic for my NPC/PC Setsunu. I literally have hundreds of attempted pics of her trying to get her just right. Wes' pic is hands down my favorite of her.

I do a lot of Midjourney generating, but this is the only one I think is the most presentable since I took some time to try to polish it. I present the NRM's Stormfang Mk. I Kukri currently in WIP for this nomination. But it is really to give the illusion of competition. Poppy too good.
