illustration of a pale young man with spiky black hair, wearing black/red ancient greek clothes, his feet are bare, glowing orange and scalding hot, he is floating in the middle of a floating platform, surrounded by falling broken pillars, holding his hand out, reaching for a purple boon by the primordial god chaos, whose grey-ish face is emerging from the darkness behind him, giant in comparison.
in the foreground we can see chaos's hand holding the platform

I both expected you to come and am surprised to see you, O Son of Hades.

A muted-blue halfbody illustration of a male character, Eden, long white hair wild around him and centered by two columns, surrounded by chrysanthemums. He looks blankly upward, half of his face completely white and dripping down to pool into loosely cupped hands, then falling further as "dust".
He wears loose, draping fabrics and shining gold jewelry accents.
A red string cuts through the lower half, circling around his wrist.

A cropped version of the drawing in the original post:
A tall, androgynous sylvari stands in with their arms wrapped loosely around their upper torso. Their bark is a dark mossy green, and their foliage, styled like a mullet, is a dull beige. Their keen, lilac eyes are looking to the side.
Their clothing is composed of overlapping layers of leaves that vary in different shades of green, which shift in sunset hues at the elbows, and to lilac at their wrists. Vines in the same lilac shade curl about their form, with their leafy ends wrapping around their back and extending over their shoulders, pointing upwards like a mantle.
The background is an edit of the Landscape (1890 - 1925) painting by Magnus Enckell.

A digital painting of a masc sylvari dressed in loose, fur-lined robes in warm colors. His bark is a dusty charcoal, and his fronds, gathered into a loose ponytail, are white, with markings similar to silver begonia leaves. His face is in profile as he stands in front of a bright, snowy landscape, holding a dagger made out of glowing ice in a loose grip.

Varo, a sylvari mesmer, stands in-between parted, see-through curtains. His bark is a pale coral, and the white foliage on his head is shimmering with opalescent magic. His red eyes are bright as he looks at the camera with a slight smile. Around Varo, magic dissolves in swirls of illusory shards and streams as he dismisses his glamour. Behind him, a vast desert stretches beyond the horizon, glowing golden with the afternoon sun.

Two charr keep night watch, standing side-to-side on a cliff overlooking Orr. Arventia, the charr further away from the viewer, is dressed in leather armor with a fur collar. Her fur is a powdery grey, which fades to russet on her tail, limbs, and muzzle. She looks off into the distance, her maw slightly ajar as she speaks, her expression solemn. Vestris stands closer to the viewer, don in an intimidating set of heavy armor. Her helmet is made with jagged plates of metal arranged into a tri-horn shape, with the longest horn extending from the forehead like a sabre. Her fur, barely visible because of her attire, is white with grey tiger stripes, and her mane is messy and braided in places. Vestris looks sidelong at the viewer, her intense orange eye sharp and defiant.

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

A digital illustration of Varo - a masc sylvari from Guild Wars 2. His bark is pale coral, his eyes are red, and his messy fronds are variegated white and sage green, with antennae growing at the inner base of his brows.

Varo looks at the viewer with focus, his chin held up by a finger of one Void-made arm holding him possessively by the collarbone. Suspended in-between his crystalline claws, is a shard of the same crystal as they are made of, emitting jagged lines of Chaos and Void magic.

Varo looks at the viewer with focus, his chin held up by a finger of one Void-made arm holding him possessively by the collarbone, and another wrapped around his waist, with fingers splayed against his torso. He's wearing a deep v-neck, sleeveless dress sewn with metallic velvet fabric, and a Void-colored shawl falling in loose folds over his arms. He's standing poised, with one arm held behind his back, and one hand, ending in crystalline claws, held loosely next to his face. Suspended in-between his those claws is a shard of the same crystal as they are made of, emitting jagged lines of Chaos and Void magic.

A stylized digital drawing of a masc sylvari from GW2, painted in vivid colors against an ultramarine background. His bark is light pink, and the leaves on his head are mostly white, with some pale green variegation. His intensely red gaze is directed at the viewer in a dispassionate sneer.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

a fake screenshot like illustration of the Warden Ulric Cousland meeting Zevran Arainai for the first time. Yeah, it's the scene after Zevran ambushed him, attacked him and Ulric's not exactly. Happy. About that. He's a bit cranky even.

Zevran's pushed down into the mud, Ulric's sort of kneeling on top of his chest, resting his weight on the other leg and his greatsword which is stabbed (for the lack of better word on my brain rn) into the ground right next to Zev's head. Cutting some strands of his hair.

The rest of the party - Morrigan, Leliana and Alistair (who's ready to strike) are watching the scene.

Ulric's usually pretty friendly and fun to be around, but he doesn't like being attacked u_u also he's been mourning his unscarred face for the past week or so
