Art Projects

Howdy.

I have another big post coming but instead of that and ending another month without releasing much, I wanted to post some content for you all.

As you are probably aware, I am experimenting with a bunch of different AI systems. Transfigure’s renders are starting to look pretty decent but other projects are being released that are pretty cool too. Boundaries are getting pushed. The amount of art and content possible is pretty much off the charts.

One of my favorite things about AI is that you can blend things to create something new and unique. Take two or three awesome styles and smash them together and sometimes you get pure nonsensical shit. Other times, you get something cool that can be further reworked into something even cooler.

Transfigure needs a ridiculous amount of art and I am committed to the 3D renders for this project at least but I was experimenting with ways to add overlays onto the renders for finishing (and to produce more art in general). The results were fairly poor overall but there is still a lot of stuff I want to test on my R&D Freeday Friday. On a much brighter note, the other tests went pretty well. For the crapload of future projects, trying some different styles that are more productive will please patrons with a larger number of faster, more varied releases in future years.

I did about 5 thousand pics in a day. Most sucked horribly but I did refine the process a lot. The generation rates even with photoshop and a bunch of editing along the way is still probably 10x-100x faster than doing renders. I like 3D renders as long as they look good but if I can make better looking art faster for other projects I am obliged to.

There are three main examples from the selected pics. We have Hart shown in what I think is a pretty cool blended art style. I thought of a few pretty hot twists for the G con story so those all got added to my notes. We also have some other cute pink hair girls that could fit into a lot of different character slots. I like the twintail magical girl look too, it’s that perfect blend of beauty, innocence and cuteness that I know strikes a lot of chords with people.

Lastly, I was messing around with creating my own Lora models (essentially AI training that focuses on a specific character or item so they can be easily recreated).

That also somehow led to making some Grace pictures from that weird isekai Beaurocrat to Villainess plus dad jokes anime show.

The gist of this post is that I think I can start generating substantial side content on my free time and fun days to avoid burnout from Transfigure. This should mean a lot more content, more games, art, and a lot of pinups and comics and the like that should be pretty easy to produce since I’ve spent so many years building up written content by accident.

Let me know what you think. I am aware pretty much every art style has its haters so I hope by being able to offer a variety then everyone will get what they need to be satisfied.

Thank you for your time. More posts and such to follow.

Love,

Tango.
