Sorry but I have to ask: is this AI generated? There is a lot of odd asymmetry going on, png for 'Critical' seem to have two thumbs, clasps on some backpacks blend into straps they are holding, the dots on the rim of the hourglass are weirdly positioned, patterns and star on the tome icon are malformed and so on.

Hey there!

You have quite the eye for detail! You're right, the artwork was indeed generated using AI. I've spent quite a bit of time training it, and then even more tweaking and editing the results. It's not perfect, for sure, but then again, who or what is, right? 

The issues you're seeing like the odd asymmetry, the double thumbs, the blending clasps, and the other quirks you mentioned are pretty typical of this kind of generation. It's a fascinating process, though - kind of like sculpting with digital clay, except sometimes the clay has a mind of its own. 

Thank you so much for your insights. I really appreciate it and will definitely use them to improve and refine the artwork further. It's a learning process, after all. Let's enjoy the journey!

Hope you keep exploring and sharing your thoughts! Cheers!

I wish I knew it was AI pictures beforehand as I have a policy never to buy AI-generated assets or use them even if they are free. Now I do feel cheated, because there was no notification about this being just AI output on the assets page.

Hey there,

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that you feel that way. That was never my intention, and I apologize if it felt like there was any sort of deception. It's important to me that anyone who uses my work knows exactly what they're getting.

I can totally understand where you're coming from with your policy about AI-generated assets. These creations are still very new and different, and not everyone might be comfortable with them. It's definitely a valid perspective and I respect that.

I'll make it a point to clearly state on the assets page that these images are AI-generated, so that folks can make an informed choice. That's a really useful piece of feedback, and I appreciate it.

If there's anything I can do to make this right for you, please let me know. Whether that's offering a refund, providing alternative assets, or something else entirely, I'm open to suggestions.

Once again, I'm really sorry for any inconvenience caused, and I value your input. I hope we can find a way forward that works for everyone. Cheers!

I appreciate this message, truly.

Making a disclaimer about AI-generated assets is certainly a right and honest thing to do: this way people who wish to avoid such assets for whatever reasons (like me) would well-informed before the purchase, and this is all I wished for. 

If you have any asset pack of equal value that is  not AI-generated I would be glad to have it, but if no, then just please keep following that transparent and honest policy you established and keep people informed of the nature of the assets in the future. 

I appreciate your transparency and good will and don't need a refund. 

Thank you so much for your understanding. I appreciate your open-mindedness and the constructive feedback you've given. I'm glad to hear that you found my proposal about transparency helpful.

Currently, I don't have any non-AI generated asset packs of equal value, but I'm constantly working on new projects. I'll definitely keep your preference in mind as I develop future works. 

And, if there's something specific you're looking for, don't hesitate to let me know. I might be able to create it or point you in the right direction.

Thanks again for your understanding and for the conversation. It has been really helpful. 

I just wanted to add that I'm pretty new to all of this myself and I'm still exploring. It's a journey full of learning opportunities, and interactions like these are truly invaluable. They help me to navigate and grow in this exciting field. So, thank you once again for being part of my journey. Take care and stay connected!
