Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't if you don't have the time to develop the skills to make art yourself it's fun to use. It's practical if you want something custom like character art for a tabletop rpg. I'm not gonna commission an artist that... But I'm not flooding socials with IA slop nor stealing jobs, there is an in between.

I think he kinda makes that point with his personal thinking on backgrounds. He doesn't do them. Maybe AI can help there, maybe not, but there are also amazing background artists just as there are very good character artists you could, but likely wouldn't afford, for your tabletop RPG. And those will be... acceptable as a visualisation, even if not quite a piece of inspired art.
