Niko + Update
🕑 Added 2025-03-12 22:38:16 +0000 UTCEDIT: I just uploaded this set on pixiv and to coincide with that I edited one of the images and added some futa extras so check that out if you're interested. I will try to have another set up tomorrow so tonight;s post will either be a late night set or I will have some tests with some new styles on the new model.
Hey guys! I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I knew I was doomed when I fell asleep in the middle of the Suisei set since that would mean I couldn't nap before FES and I had to stay up all night to catch it, which ruined my sleep schedule for the past few days. But it was totally worth it because FES was amazing! I think stage 3 is one of my favorite FES stages ever; Okakoro performing if.. after like four years blew my mind as was the highlight.
However I need to actually get back in the swing of things so I'm hoping to do that in the remainder of this week. I threw together this Niko set since it wasn't too hard and I really wanted to have something up tonight, I hope you like it! I was experimenting with her lora and noticed how the holes in her pants get move to her nether regions pretty easily so that was the theme.
Some good news is that I figured out that I was approaching my upscaling process wrong. The simplest way I could put it was that the values I was using for multidiffusion were splitting the image too much which required multiple iterations to perfect it. Now I get what I want in one or two iterations and can spend time touching up details I want.
I had a bunch of ideas that did not make it as an intermediate set if you're interested in knowing some of the stuff I failed at. I kept trying to do a Kobo/Marine set based on FES but I was not liking the backgrounds and kept having to fix my lora. I tried baking a lora on Shion's loungewear but I do not like how the lora came. Finally last night I tried to do a Advent + Mori onsen generation based on what Advent talked about on stream last night, but six girls has so limited posing that I didn't like what I was getting. I also considered finishing the Raora set from last month.
Something like this is when discord would come in handy to keep you in the loop. I have it almost set up but I need to do the boring stuff like rules. Right now I'm hunting for the perfect transition between sequences in Choco and then she's good to go. Depending on how that goes I'll Ui up before/after. See you tomorrow!

Yep! Niko's really sweet and she's so fun to prompt, her design is sooo good. I have a backlog that I want to get through before a proper follow-up, but I also don't want to wait too long before following it up so I hope to have it done sometime this month.

That's a nice surprise, I wanted to suggest Niko sometime. It seems we all like her for the same reasons :) Happy to hear that you're planning a follow-up

Thank you so much! I really started to talking to my peers who also use AI and trying to learn what I can improve from what they do and it's been a huge help. I will have something for Marine/Kobo, I think I have the lora better. You guys will see it soon! My perfectionism does get in the way of things but I do hope it results in the final product being eyecatching. I agree with your assessment of Niko. Her design makes her look like an mature onee-san but she's so goofy, especially around her oshi Lui. I might want to lean into that side more with a future set, her lora is really fun to work with! I might also do a sex-based follow-up for this set since it does seem to be leading there. The alleyway was a pretty cool and easy background to work with IMO. Yeah I modeled that composition from the Suisei set too, I really like it to too and I think it's natural for this kind of theme. I actually edited the image to test out some newer tools so I think it should look even better now. I'm glad you like the set so much! I will have to do more of Niko at some point! I also realize the numbering for the set was confusing since I threw in image in at the end and named it 0 so I went and fixed that now lol

Thank you, I'm glad that you like it so much! I actually did try to do some funky stuff with her pubic hair but I wasn't able to pull it off so I just made her shaved. HoloFES was a blast for sure! I'm used to operating on low sleep but I think I can reset my schedule on the weekend. Technically it takes the same amount of time to process, but I save a lot of time because they're processing correctly. In the past it would take me like 15-60+ minutes to upscale an image because I had to do it multiple times to get what I want. Now it's more like 5-10 minutes. It's hard to explain what was going without visual aid though. Yeah I will posting my workflow a lot more on discord, but a lot of them won't be as polished to look at in comparison to what I post on pixiv/patreon.

Thanks! Flow;glow's designs are great, I want to do them all eventually. Chihaya's design is definitely a highlight with how thick she is imho, I'll do some stuff with her soon. I don't see Flow Glow clips that often either but I watch Vivi's streams a lot. Hopefully I've discord up soon!

You are truly amazing! Even in your current state you are offering a great set and you are becoming even more efficient! I am certainly interested in Marin and her team's under-the-radar sets as well. However, I respect your perfectionism, so if you are not happy with it, perhaps it should not be put in front of everyone. Be that as it may! This Nico set is great as well. She may be the most streetwise design in FLOWGLOW and is particularly different from the rest of the hololive. But in reality, she is FLOWGLOW's comedian, a girl who loves pretty things and a funny girl who loves to talk down. I can't resist the set as if she were saying, “Let's have sex in this back alley now! As I commented at the last Suisei, I think I especially like the design where the girl is showing off to us. I like the composition of the 8th illustration by Suisei and the 3rd(4th?) illustration by Niko, but I think the composition of the 8th(9th?) illustration by Niko is very naughty and wonderful!

This Niko set is crazy good !! You did a superb job, I love it ! I would have loved to see some tiger pattern pubic hairs with blond & brown, it would have probably looked great but idk how difficult it is to make... Holofes was a blast, Okayu & Korosan's performance was so nostalgic to me, they picked the right song ! I hope your sleep schedule will be fixed, because it can't be healthy if it's ruined ! The ripped pants is a great theme ! Niko looks really great ! Oooooh that's sounds like a good news, does it mean that you can process images much faster ? You should definetely keep those "failed" images for Discord, that's too bad that you couldn't get what you wanted... I can't wait to see your future sets !

New set is awesome. Haven't ever seen much of Flow Glow, clips don't ever show up in my feed, but all the talents are pretty cute and attractive, especially Chihaya. Looking forward to your upcoming stuff and the Discord.
