April Monthly Report

NovelAI and HolaraAI were cancelled because NovelAI was my introduction to AI illustration and I used it for about half a year, but unfortunately I felt NovelAI had its limitations... HolaraAI has a fatal specification that the output image has no prompts. I was not happy with HolaraAI because of the lack of metadata in the output image, which is fatal for sequencing, and the specification that forces me to log in to Holara every day. Since we introduced Stable Diffusion this month, we will be creating locally from now on. For now, I'm using Hentai Diffusion for the illustration model, but it's still not appropriate, so I need to figure it out more. The other great thing about local models is that you can output as many images as you want. However, it is very difficult to manage images, so I installed Eagle, an image management software.
The price is $29.95, but it is free for a month, so I will try it for a while.
2. Works created this month
There were 4 pieces: Wedding Dress, Succubus, Female Student with Pink Hair, and Girl in Suit (which will be released this month). It has little to do with the work notice at the beginning of the month...sorry for being a big liar.
I will be releasing one work notice at a time, since what I want to make changes from time to time.
3.Posting Frequency
Do you think 4 pieces a month is too few? I usually work a little bit every day and post once a week, but I see other people posting every day, so I'm wondering if I need to work harder...
4. Accepting requests?
I've been accepting Pixiv requests for a while now, but so far I haven't received a single one. I still think 6,000 yen is a lot of money, but I'm setting this price because I'm calculating my work time as an hourly rate.
I'm wondering if it would be better to accept requests only from supporters, but to be honest, I feel it would be difficult due to the frequency of my posting, so I'm torn. I'm not sure if there are people who want to request me in the first place, so I'd appreciate it if you could comment if you wish to do so.
5. number of supporters this month
As of 4/29, 103 people have supported FANBOX and 28 people have supported Patreon.
Thanks to you, I will be able to continue my creative activities and deliver my works to many people. I will continue to do my best to please you all.
