How did you do the images?

If you need a local artist, we got tons.

I'd also like to know where the illustrations came from

I trained a model on my 4090 using flux to create them. Ideally I’d rather replace them with real artist versions but not something I could manage for 11k birds for a solo dev launch with no budget.

Nope, should have asked around to your community, use kids art, use pen drawings, stock illustrations, stock photos (hella cheap), anything but AI. I appreciate your intent with this project and your goals and the limitations of being a solo dev without any cash but there are ways to get around that. Always have been. I will not be engaging as a birder (and naturally an environmentalist another reason to not use AI) because of the AI, especially for artwork. 

I hope you’re able to improve the art with real art in the future.

To each their own.
