Upcoming Content, Change of Tiers
🕑 Added 2025-02-16 18:36:56 +0000 UTCHi, it has been a while since I last posted an Update.
Upcoming content will consist of animations on instead of image sets.
The "Mini Star" and "Support Star"-Tier will be hidden from next month on.
You might have noticed that I did not post for 2 weeks and the new content this weekend is different and much more than usual. That's because I wanted to try out something new and challenging I think some of the images are quite hot :D
As I want to focus my time on new content, I have to cut some corners and stop making image sets. That does not mean I will never do them, I ceraitnly will. But I cannot do both at the same time.
Making image sets is not quite as fast, as I would like to. Well, it could be quite fast, if I would just make default art, but I often want to make certain poses, movements and styles, which don't work on default. This means I often bruteforce the AI by photoshopping in certain things and then generate that area with low "Denoising Strength".
After the pose is finished, I have to focus on hands a lot....sometimes they just work, sometimes the AI just does not understand. It is not unusual, that I spend an hour or two just on a hand. Well, when I draw myself, it was also the hardest area, so I get the AI is not better :D
I still upscale the imge a bit, so it does look good on 4k and 2k monitors. However, that often generated new problems, that need to be fixed after. And once I am done, I need to look at the image again on another day, to make sure I find all the errors and sort out more failures.
Overall can I work 2 3 hours on images. A fraction of the time, if I wanted to draw them myself, but you still have to put in effort into a good image. After that I still have to make quality control and share them. Unfortunately, many people started to make AI porn, and there is a lot of low quality spam. So what what have been a standing out masterpiece 2-3 years ago is now a needle in a haystack. Rightfully, many people filter out AI content now and it is for the better.
I still don't regret putting in much time and effort into the images you got here. While not all images come perfect, there are masterpieces among them.
That's why next weeks will not see much content, but I keep you updated at the weekend about the progress. I will also drop the lower Patreon tiers on the page, since they don't do much more, than artificially increase the amount of supporters the page has. But the main problem is, that I cannot make different animations for different tiers, due to the time it takes per animation. I would make more tiers again, whensomething justifices having tiers.
I also have dissatisfaction with the Patreon image viewing speed. I think it is better to just give a dropbox link in the future, as patreon needs to much time to view individual images. The image changes will be done in a month. This change will not do anything to current members, the old tiers will just be hidden for new members. Noone gets kicked out.
With animations, it is even harder. The first animations I did were ok at best, but theres way more things that can go wrong. There is a lot of trickery going on and I still need to find better sounds. So far, I haven't been able to AI voice characters locally, but I will try again and it will take time.
Thank you all for your support!
