Once more, I looked through the TMP photo library to find a suitable source photo.

Bolt Action!

The picture above originally appeared in Editor Julia's 2015 convention report from Bayou Wars. Described at the time as a Bolt Action 28mm WWII game.

I asked the AI to transform this picture into a oil painting with vibrant colors, and got this:

The only odd thing about the artwork is the lettering. Some of the newer AI versions can understand about letters, but the low-budget one I'm using treats letters as inscrutable symbols. I could have asked the AI to make another pass and remove all lettering.

Note also that I told the AI that this was a 28mm WWII miniature wargame, and it didn't mess the tabletop up too badly. But it also added WWII-themed wall decor! It also added a flag; I've noticed AI likes to add flags to wargaming scenes…
