My biggest, most ambitious edit yet. I used AI to create the base characters, which I then used Illustrator and Photoshop to extensively alter and change the aspects to fit their characters more - like hair, clothes, hair and eye colours, etc.
Hope you all like this!

Some additional stuff below too.
First of all, I want to apologise to anyone, my artist friends in particular, if I have indeed hurt your feelings at the mention of using AI to generate the base characters - it was not my intention to do so ;_;
I'm conflicted. Like I said on Twitter and Discord, I love how the program aided me in my vision for this particular fanart - however, I hate where it mines its data from and I completely understand if anyone is upset with me ;_;

I tried my best to get them to look like their characters, and I’m pretty satisfied with how they turned out. I also altered a lot of their clothes and hair, especially Te’ijal and Dameon’s.
Oh yeah, it was frustrating when the AI refused to make Lars look more South East Asian, so I had to really amend his look and skin colour (hope I did him justice lol since he’s my fave). Also PJ and Elini were particularly hard to generate too, because their skin tone kept getting lightened - of course, I darkened it myself, and I think I did a decent job.
Also, I tried my best to get diverse facial features, but, AGAIN, the AI kept making them look like models lmao (recurring pattern here! sigh)
Why would the av1 party be doodling? I don’t know. But the title of this post is WHAT the av1 party would doodle and I do know that. So.
Rhen: Stick people with really detailed, beautiful swords. You can see if you want, she’ll even make a little comic for you^^
Also Theodore learned how to draw stick people from her.
Dameon: Anatomically correct hearts, skulls, and crying eyes. If he notices you looking he’ll close the book and be too embarrassed to take notes again for at least a week.
Te’ijal: Flowers and the sun in the corner of the page. She will not only show you, she will demand you look and also add to her masterpiece
Galahad: he would never!! (Yes he would he draws that S. You know the one. But he will never willingly show another living soul. If you see it, no you didn’t.)
Pirate John: cartoony skulls, when he can be bothered.
Elini: She would actually never, but you can borrow her quill.
Mad Marge: she doesn’t have a quill and she’s not about to ask Elini to borrow hers.
