Folks it pains me to ask so bluntly, but could anyone use some work doing by me? I've got to find income for three months until my next royalty payment, and I'm not having much luck.

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.
If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

Brother Oliverus. He's the first mini I ever painted, painted with some craft paints we found in old school supplies which were unopened but at least 10 years old. I'm working on getting different paints, don't worry.

Do any of you have any Rainbow Warriors you've painted (or drawn for that matter) that you wouldn't mind us using in a video?
Full credit would be given on screen, obviously.

Apropos of nothing in particular: SHOES
Per the FEMA training I took 30 years ago, the one thing that best ensures your survival in a disaster is whether you made it out of the building with shoes on.
Everything else can just be scrap-wraps, but shoes are high-tech. Put them on first, then run.
