Lady Bolero (AI AU Concept Design) (Patreon)
Content
For those of you who have been reading the AI stories (first of all, I'm glad I'm not just wasting my time on those lol) and second, this is something that sorta spawned from those things pretty much.
In getting the AI to write little scenarios for Bolero in her kingdom of Dragon People, there's been a lot of interesting world-building elements going on. What started as Bolero being a kinky dragon girl with a few friends slowly turned into her running an entire kingdom where lewd acts are just a normal everyday thing, but one of my favorite things was another little implication that came up here and there. In the beginning there were a group of other Dragon Men who came to ask for Bolero's help, as if she was a well-known strong member of the clan, or perhaps even a leader. The AI kinda kept that theme and had it grow stronger everytime.
They eventually got to a point where everyone was calling her 'Lady Bolero' and it just ... carries this essence of cool respectability and power, like someone who's clever, charismatic, seductive, and just someone you'd be excited to hear being in town.
Also the fact that they were once fighters and now run a peaceful kingdom (but aren't afraid to fight again if they must) just painted a picture in my head of some kick-ass looking medieval leaders, so for several weeks now I've been itching to play with this design floating around in my head.
As for the actual CANON story, I do have plans for Bolero training with Gargoyles to be a sword fighting knight in armor...
but this one fits the narrative better since she's still learning human customs and knows just enough to make the armor and sword thing work. In this AI AU version she's fully capable of speaking human words and responsible for a whole village, so this other design needs to be able to reflect that.
AI is interesting because it can be used in harmful ways, but I believe it SHOULD be used to motivate and inspire creative people in other ways that they didn't expect. Rather than using it to replace us, we could be using it as if it were a friend helping us to get some ideas going, and you'd be surprised what you get.
THIS IS NOT ME ADVOCATING FOR ALL AI, I'm just saying.. sometimes it can be useful.
Speaking of new ideas, I've been doing a few other sample stories for myself on the side, and I generated a few stories of Bolero playing with Satyrs left and right, and eventually it helped me spawn an idea for a couple new characters to play with
Impaula was made in response to me having to let go of my favorite Satyr adoptable, and Benny was purely a product of the AI just inventing a random horny Satyr and naming him Benny.
Not that I don't already have enough ideas for new characters, Benny was just something I had so much fun reading about that I kinda wanted to play with a design. Impaula's seen her share of fun too, but I'd kinda prefer to see some of that drawn out too.
ANYWAY TL;DR if you wanna imagine Bolero's look for the AI stories, its gonna be that one above
ENJOY :D
