You know that MyHeritage service that creepily animates your photo of your great grandma using AI?
It will happily animate D&D paintings too. Here’s Alias from Clyde Caldwell’s great Curse of the Azure Bonds cover. Have you ever wondered what she would look like if she were looking slightly to the left?
Sure, deepfake technology is a menace will will further devalue truth, empower liars and charlatans, and open the door to unconscionable harassment and invasions of privacy. Let’s use it for its one noble use, eerily animating Dragon Magazine and D&D novel covers, and then delete all the source code. Drop any other AI D&D videos in the comments!
EDIT: How about this suuuper-creepy version of Dragon #136 by Ken Widing.
She looks like she’s just realizing she’s inside a Dragon Magazine cover. Watch her mental journey as she looks for a way out, which she finds in the last terrifying split-second of the video when she notices you. (Warning: everyone who has watched this video all the way through has disappeared 2 weeks later)
(Looking through old Dragon Magazine covers, I’m realizing for the first time that they are 50% ladies with teased hair and 50% gentlemen who are skeletons. God I hope I can deepfake one of the skeletons)
EDIT EDIT: How about everyone’s favorite vampire, Strahd von Zarovich by Ben Oliver.
The deepfake animation gives Strahd a creepy, artificial semblance of life that works insanely well for Strahd. If they ever do a Ravenloft movie, Strahd should be completely deepfaked.*
*except they will have deleted the source code by then
Saw that inktale is gone, where can I buy the dungeon robber poster? Dungeon robber is one of my all time favorite games, I beat it a few years ago and still suggest it to people.
Luckily the same technology that powers deepfaking (neural networks) can be trained to detect deepfakes better than humans can! So all isn’t lost. Ditto on Dungeon Robber as well
I can’t seem to get Dungeon Robber to play anymore. Is that because of Adobe Flash ending? When I hit the link it directs me to an Adobe page where they detail the end of life of Flashplayer.
If this is the problem, do you have plans to “fix” Dungeon Robber somehow, or do I have to get a Flash player emulator off the web?
Thanks a bunch, it was a great game!
you can still the Dungeon Robber??? please teach me how to make it running again. Thx
