An important poll ❤️
Added 2024-09-12 23:04:18 +0000 UTCHello dear Patrons and Followers! 😎
Following up my previous BIG post about AI, (that you should read if you haven't, before participating in this poll 🙏 ) here's a poll i'm opening to know what type or render that I do that you prefer the most.
In this image there are 3 columns, corresponding to 3 different types of render:
1️⃣ Classic BDz artworks
2️⃣ The latest hybrid style I've been experimenting
3️⃣Full realistic AI render like in the last BIG AI post
For consistency, the first row is an exemple of the latest artwork I've done (Athina the Librarian) in the three different renders, and below some other exemple of the corresponding render type. Attached to this post are HD images of Athina if you need to have a closer look.
Each of these 3 renders comes with its positive and negative aspects
1️⃣ Classic BDz
💚Pros: Authentic, human-made art.
💔Cons: takes a long time to draw, low production output, not always good looking
2️⃣ Hybrid BDz+AI
💚Pros: Still Close to BDz style, faster to do, better looking, medium production output
💔Cons: less artistic approach, AI assisted
3️⃣ Full realistic AI
💚Pros: Realistic, visually appealing, very high production output, hundreds of images, ability to do themes I'm usually reluctant to do without much of an effort, easily opened to requests
💔Cons: not artistic at all, BDz body types but not BDz style
This is a very important poll for me, as the result will influence my future "stand alone" artworks. The most popular of the 3 will most likely be gradually more present in the content I produce.
❤️🙏 So please be honest and objective with your vote 🙏❤️

Hand drawn is simply the best, beats all other options (and that's not even taking the artistic aspiration into account). But I do get the time aspect of it as well. So there may be a good case for Hybrid. Maybe do the backgrounds as Hybrid but still draw your own characters? Man... I feel you, this is a tough call.

Adding a secondary account for the fast creation AI artworks is a way to separate your great hand drawn artwork from your own less quality AI artwork. Its a way to not let your hand drawn artwork drown in the quantity of AI work. But still explore and serve the all the idea’s that people would like with your AI artworks. What I like the most about the hand drawn artwork is that the world building continues in the background. As I can see the statue of Keelia in the background. Giving the whole artwork more depth. Making it a great artwork. Above the standard AI artworks. And of most other hand drawn art for other artists. Next to this I think your balance between cute and sexy in your artworks is also what makes me come back to your artworks. ( bigboobs in your style+ world building and storytelling + right cute/sexy balance= me coming back to your artworks) If you could somehow include world building details in the background of your option 2 AI assistant. Then it will be the best of both worlds. As for my advice, I as a fan of your work. Think your best work is your world building. Best expressed in the comic’s I think you could lessen the quality of the artworks a little bit by experimenting with AI as you do in option 2. As this could free time to improve, and tell more about the world of Andromeda. I think that is where most of the power of your work as an artist comes from. The first few pages of the first chapter of Andromeda show this. A hole world of busty ladies that want to flirt and fuck with the male. And WHY that is and HOW they do that. Makes your art great. The visuales are a means to communicate this idea. What you are doing very well. But it is also just that. A means to communicate this idea. I am excited to hear/see/play/read about all the ways the world building can be expanded if you were less hindered by the time it takes to make 1 single artwork. This could also free up time for experimentation. I think your communication with your fanbase is also a great strength. I feel motivated to comment and like on your artwork. Not only for the artwork, but also because of the the way you communicate with your fanbase 😀 I might have a content idea. As a fan of your content. I am also very curious on how you come up with your ideas. How do you get the idea for a new race? A story arc? Outfits? Facial expressions and more? I would be interested in reading an interview on it. Similar to interviews done at this site: https://thereshegrows.net/2019/09/05/interviews/ I wish you the best on your art journey and looking forward to your next artwork! TLDR Option 2 is the best. So that you can spend more time building the world. Time that otherwise be spent on perfecting drawings. Having a separate account for less quality for full AI works next to you hand drawn stuff is a great move. You have good communication with your fanbase.

2024-09-14 13:45:49 +0000 UTCOn a completely unrelated note, I can't unsee the anatomy mistake in the third pic in the first column. Having said that, I can see why it turned out the way it did.

2024-09-13 06:18:33 +0000 UTCI can't help but feel you are looking at how you could add AI to your workflow too narrowly. The benefit of AI is, as you noted, faster turnaround, but this doesn't just mean you can only use that to go "faster". An alternative option might be to use Generated Works as a trialing tool for more "out there" ideas. I've never known an artist to always have every piece come out perfectly and be posted for all to see, sometimes it doesn't work and it goes in the bin, or is posted in a half-done state just so it wasn't a complete waste; This is easily where AI could come in, enabling you to prototype ideas before sinking potentially large amounts of time on something that you aren't confident will work. Another idea could be to release some Generated Works at either the free or minimum pledge tiers, with the intent to hold a poll on which one should be made into a full suite of works and animations. The benefit of this is the lower effort per individual work that can then be poured into either making more or higher quality art where you know you'll see best return.

2024-09-13 02:25:32 +0000 UTCI'm here to promote original artwork. I love the long breast expansion sequences. I liked that one where they were so big she can hold them between her legs. The hybrid style looks pretty cool too, I'm just not a fan of AI art generators on principle. (If I see a BDz animation that looks like it pushes my buttons then I'll still buy it tho)

2024-09-13 02:05:27 +0000 UTCYour art style is the main reason people follow you. Art is more than "content", and the latter is what AI functions on and generates, and only through base replication. Even using your own art as reference to learn, it doesn't have the soul to it.

2024-09-13 01:24:15 +0000 UTCI find your art fantastic! #1 for sure !

2024-09-13 00:50:22 +0000 UTCI am here for your art first and foremost. I enjoy every bit of it. That said, if you feel like using some AI here and there will help you, that's your call to make. I feel it would be a shame to swap entirely to AI, since I do enjoy your art a lot. I also feel like there is just WAY too much AI stuff flooding the internet these days, and 95% of it is trash.

2024-09-13 00:12:49 +0000 UTCYeah, I think it's a bit of a shame your work is being snuffed out by AI. And I know your not the only artist suffering from it two. It's a bit of a problem with the new age of AI, anyone can really do it. But I for one love your art work and style and always will. And I respect how much work and passion you put into it two, that's why I pay. I think it might be nice to see some AI generation mixed in here and there to really see what the difference is but for the most part, I just want to see art made by you :).

2024-09-12 23:09:43 +0000 UTCUpon review of the sets, there's nothing in them that I'd be willing to pay for. Maybe I'm just a snob, but it doesn't really look any different from stuff I could find on DA or just do myself with AI. I'm here for the animations anyway; one good animation a month is all I really want. If you used AI to make smoother/more elaborate animations, I'd be interested in giving them a shot. In the end though, I prefer the imperfections made by human hands over the distortions AI tends to produce.
