TITLEPIC Art Request

[Enjay]

Does anyone have the time and ability to make a custom TITLEPIC for me?

The image that I'm looking for would combine a screenshot with a close-up of some Doom marines. The screenshot I can do (obviously), the close-up, not so much. I'm no artist.

Context:
By request, I'm reworking an old mod of mine to give it a facelift and I'd like to give it a new, higher resolution TITLEPIC.

I've done one myself: I have combined a screenshot with some frankensprited art from Doom. Then I upscaled the image using AI, deconstructed the AI-enhanced image and re-composited the whole thing manually, only keeping the AI-enhanced bits that I couldn't do myself (and altering them a bit too).

It looks OK for something that people will look at for 2 seconds before bringing up the menu and starting a game, but the AI-enhanced bits are... well, they've been touched by AI (and they look it). So, I'd rather not have that if I can avoid it.

I have asked on a couple of game art sites, and got a stony silence as my reply. I also asked an artist friend of mine who would have done it but real-life is getting in the way for them at the moment and they don't have time for it. They said "if the AI image is good enough, why don't you just use that?" which surprised me.

Anyway, I do have an image that was initially made by me, upscaled and "enhanced" by AI and then reworked by me afterwards, but I'd much rather use something from a flesh and blood artist if I can.

(There are also 2 incidental textures that are used during the in-game briefing that are less important but if someone wanted to do them too, that would be great. I made those using some art from Strife, some screen shots of a 3D model of a Doom marine, edited them all together and then used AI to make them look less copy/pasted.)

If anyone is interested, I can provide the images that I currently have to give an idea of what I'm looking for.

If not, I'll use the AI-touched art. Because it is based on a composite image that I made and has been reworked manually after the AI did its thing, I'm content that it complies with the community rules but, like I said, I'd rather use something with no AI involvement at all.

If you want to, you can send me a mail to info@realm667.com and I would give it a try with my ai and a set of custom prompts Can’t promise anything but maybe I can provide something useful.

Thanks for the offer. Your input, as ever, is appreciated.

However, the reason I am asking is because I have a TITLEPIC already that has been produced with a combination of manual editing and some AI assistance. It looks good enough but I was hoping that I might be able to get one that didn't use AI at all.

Well, I can give it a try if you want to as the ai that we are using is a professional one that we are using in our agency as well. Feel free to mail me if you want to.

I think Enjay quite clearly stated they didn't want any AI.
