Well it is sunday and I come empty handed and that means things didn't go perfect. And the only one to blame for that is myself :(.

But I am innocent :D. You know of my shiny object syndrome...I was making so good progress until thursday, everything looked perfect for the sunday release...and then my fuckface stumbled across this new AI trend (some might have seen it) where popular pictures and memes were turned into ghibli ai art.

Now I am not a fan of ghibli (or AI art for that matter), but seinen manga is right down my alley. one of my alltime fav femdom artwork is from anmo night (some might be familiar)...so I thought maybe my dream of making a "drawn" adult manga game comes closer...

 And while this fkn AI doesn't let me do shit once things get even remotely adult you can't deny the results of my characters that i feed the AI who turns them into seinen manga style in a matter of minutes.

 Everything about this feels wrong. It is AI, which I don't like because it is not art, it is inconsistent, which means I cannot really use it (yet...?), it restricts adult content...which...well, you know, fk that shit (i actually heard that with the AI Stable Diffusion it might be possible to get that adult art)!

 But I cannot help it...I can't help it but relentlessly feeding that AI my Shadow over Blackmore scenes and watch it turn into drawn manga. I am so obsessed by the thought of having my own game in this artstyle right now, or even just a comic...or an animated femdom episode! I kind of justify it with it being just a better photoshop filter and it is still my original art...but well, that is not really true, is it? I don't know. Might just be to justify that I fkn love how easy it is to turn my 3d renders into that!

Yes, you know the place... ;) 

I am aware that this post has no structure, maybe that shows how confused I am right now...the angel on my shoulder tells me to ditch this, the devil tells me to dig deeper...

Long story short, this was a huge distraction and it still is, so I promise you that I will finish the Femdom City episode coming week no matter what! We aim for friday, at latest you will get it on sunday! Guaraaaanteeed!

But after that I really got to figure out where I draw the line on this AI stuff. If this lets me turn my f**ked up femdom fantasies into epic seinen manga, I might not be able to resist :D

Let me know where you stand on this, really interested to hear your thoughts! You might have a better perspective since you support the creators and especially me who is known for 3d render art only! so lmk

Stay kinky!

That are some very nice pictures :D

Darktoz

thx, the thing is i can't really take credit for it, lol :D

unic

Oh! The end of next week is right around my birthday :) Super! About the pictures. In my opinion, it's turning out great and if you like it yourself, I'm ready to support you in this endeavor :)

Darktoz

thx, so let's pretend i delayed it on purpose just for your birthday ;)

Darktoz

that's fair. i think you are not the only one, since you chose to support me and i make 3d art only...i might have to render some art again to snap out of the ai loophole :D

Listen to the angel on your shoulder and ditch this 😱, it's very tempting but you won't be able to do the adult scenes very well, just the portraits of the characters. However, maybe this can work for someone who can draw more or less like that, with the AI they save a lot of time and then just edit out the inconsistencies and the adult scenes using their drawing skills, like the edits that are made to remove the pixelated genitals 😉. Perhaps one day with more advanced AI 🙏🏻.

Darktoz

the thing is that adult stuff is already possible with ai (it is called Stable Diffusion)...you have to install some local stuff and set it up. It would take some time so i have to be sure to finish femdom city first before diving down the rabbit hole

PickerPatron

I don't know, Blackmore doesn't have scenes as extreme as Anmo Night, but you still need a lot of patience to get an acceptable result.

Joyeux Rouge

Do it. These pics looks nice.

Artificial intelligence has been the subject of controversy recently. But on the other hand, if you are the artist and retain your rights, I don't think it's such a bad idea. But I have to admit that I would really like to have a Seinen manga about the game and finding an artist for it would be difficult and very expensive.

Darktoz

think so too, but i am hesitating :D

Darktoz

I would fkn love that as well

I have problems with a company creating an AI that is designed to not only mimic a well known artist style, then not offer fair compensation for their work. I won’t demonize AI; it could lead to art forms we’ve yet to see. But it appears that companies look to AI as a way to make product cheaper by cutting out the expensive humans who created it in the first place.

Darktoz

well i think it can't really replicate a niche artist with an own style right now, since it doesn't have enough to lean on and copy from. it can only replicate popular artstyles where there is a lot of art of it on the net, like manga. but yes, if this keeps evolving at this speed it might put even artist studios out of work...

HalfBreedMix

As someone who was watching anime before nearly anybody in the States even knew the word, anime has a special place in my heart. That said, I don't want to see it in everything. I love the look of your Shadow over Blackmore series; on top of its own attributes, it serves as variety. Looking at the few manga'ized pics you posted,,,,,,,,, they feel more like storyboard images before they are turned into a finished scene in the style that we have been seeing in the game; that much I don't mind.

Darktoz

oh, just to be clear...shadow over blackmore won't change! not the artstyle or anything else. the pictures are more to show what this ai can do since you know the characters and locations. well, maybe a manga in the same blackmore universe...

Edd Hall

excited for nothing agsin

Lost Soul

Wow that style looks so good on your characters! I know a lot of people get hostile with AI stuff but I think lots of times it get blown out of proportions. As some one who has intense trouble visualizing I use AI photos to make me a drawing reference a lot of the time and it is very helpful. It actually allows me to draw stuff where I normally wouldn’t be able to. So really I think if their is still a good amount of effort in the creative process I don’t see it as immoral. If you were to find some way to turn the whole game into an optional style like this I wouldn’t mind at all.

unic

Haha! That's right, I like it!

Frank Kuschmann

I love Anmo Night's mangas, and his artworks generally but I think he didn't use any AI-program. I will admit that AI-generated pictures look perfect, too perfect. But I prefer the non-AI-images

Darktoz

oh he definitely did not use an ai program

Darktoz

thanks that is a good point

Bootsfetish

Thank you, pictures are nice. Follow your desires, so far, so good ;)

AI is coming, "adapt or die" is the name of the game now.

So many things to react to, and some questions. - I like the images generated, and I could totally imagine a manga series in that style. Please do finish you have in motion, though. Otherwise, you will spread yourself thin, and never finish anything. - AI is just a tool, and it's improving. You can do crap quality and top quality too. - I'd argue with the statement that AI generated imagery is not art just because it's AI. Most people claimed that photography is not art as it's just a machine capturing what's already there. Then they claimed things generated with graphical tools (e.g. Photoshop) is not art, as you are not using a brush/pencil etc, and have effects etc. Then they claimed that anything done with rendering is not art etc. This always happens when a new technology appears, but in the end they are all just tools, that you can use to generate mediocre, and find ways to generate art. So, the "AI is nor art" is a wrong statement. Instead, ask the question whether the product and how it was generated is art or not. Just my tuppence. - AI stealing: This is also more complex than the current media hype and artist protests lead you to believe. When someone attends an art school, or becomes an apprentice to an artist, they learn their styles, and then start producing new are based on that. Could be very similar, or something new. We never claim that these new artists are "stealing", and nobody every asked them to pay a percentage on their arts to all those they ever used to develop their own style. Nobody every paid a penny to those they used to learn. So suddenly calling the same stealing and demanding all that payment is hypocrisy. Now, I said "more complex", and I'm not claiming that there is no basis in any circumstance where a demand would be justified. Question: If you are willing to share: What tool or model did you use for these experiments?

Darktoz

thx, i agree with almost all you said. still a bit hesitant about the ai art being art part, though...but what you said about the ai stealing makes sense and i myself looked at a lot of femdom and 3dart before and still do to this day to get inspired. the engine i used for this is the new up to date Sora AI from chatgpt. it is great but like i said, if it sees a nipple it won't generate images. i really want to try stable diffusion because that one is said to have no limits

Zoltán

Thanks for the info. I may have to clarify on the art part. What I'm saying is that AI is a new tool, which will create new ways to create art. A random, simple prompt is not art, just as throwing together a quick scene in Daz3D using stock elements is not art. Every time a new tool appeared, it took some time to find how to start creating true art with it. As I mentioned cameras were not considered art initially, but soon after photography, and then cinematography turned into respectable art forms on their own. Generative AI will find a way to create art one day. (Again, today's simple prompts on their own are not art, even if many of the outputs look good. Mount Fuji is a beautiful volcano and most photos in a clear weather will produce nice photos. Nice, but not art.)
