Illustrators Barred from Using AI for Dungeons & Dragons Artwork
The fantasy role-playing franchise Dungeons & Dragons has always been celebrated for its imaginative and visually stunning artwork. However, recent developments have prompted the creators to take action. It was brought to their attention by fans that an AI-generated character, an ax-wielding giant, had made its way into the game.

AI-generated art often exhibits glitches and distorted limbs, which can detract from the overall aesthetic. The team at D&D Beyond, owned by Hasbro, was unaware that one of their commissioned artists had utilized AI to create artwork for the book Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants.
Upon discovering this, Hasbro subsidiary Wizards of the Coast promptly reached out to the artist. D&D Beyond released a statement on social media, stating that the artist would no longer be permitted to use AI for Wizards’ work in the future.
