I will comment here on music and video. In both there is visible/hearable :) jump in quality from most previous pieces. In video there is very little glitches and Iam certain you pushed limits of that ai software to the limit!
With music you also improved rhythm i would say. But I noticed that I do like beginings of songs really good. Lyrics goes well with music and all is good but endings of songs seem bit more average.
But most importantly I think you are reaching really good quality on album scale and people might get interested in this music if they catch it on yt or spotify etc.
Yay! I'm happy you commented on the music, I was sure nobody would comment because most people are into completely different music than this. And the music is also low-fi... So it makes me very happy you commented anyway.
Personally, I have a similar problem with music as I do with art - there's rarely something I like from other people's creations, so it's great to be able to make some music that follows my own philosophy, even if I don't have much that control over it. But what I was able to create with Suno AI at least matches my tastes, it's quite catchy, interesting, and I can't easily name existing bands that play similar music. Most real musicians in the world play extremely serious and boring music and they're sad people - most of their stuff is quite depressive... I've always liked stuff that's non-serious and funny while at the same time cool and catchy, so I try to achieve the same in music. Where else will you hear a track about the feminine god... ;D
I'm not sure if people on YT/Spotify would have any interest in this music when taken out of the context of my art. On this site, it makes sense as it can be imagined as roughly the music that my characters listen to in 2201. But on YouTube, it would receive some 200-300 views and no comments or some dumb ones and that would be just a sad sight... I don't want to trigger yet another "depression" wave... so I'd rather reserve these tracks to my own amusement and the few people who visit my site. All those stupid things like "reach", "impact" or the number of random followers don't make the weather at all for me. All that matters is having comments from real people, and YT/Spotify/etc/etc aren't a way to get them.
And that said, thanks a lot for your comment! :D In fact, I've been upgrading my commenting system today and I must say I was really impressed with the amazing amount of talks we've had since 2020... ;D
Character page is very nice and you take effort to create all those cute thumbnails! Yet Iam missing "comment" section in top bar now. It allowed for quick check of new replies and such.
Thanks a lot! I've always wanted to make some adorable anime portraits instead of just cropping their faces out of actual pics, so I finally figured out a way to stylize the cropped pictures in an anime style. But my biggest goal rn is making them look good, rather than like well-known images with just an anime face slapped over them ;D
I hope they'll turn out great in the end - it's also a good exercise for me to better understand their image because it's often tricky to tell if it's Yasha or Leslie, etc.
And yeah, I've noticed the issue not being able to easily access different sections, so I tried to fix that problem :P
Bits and pieces are really lifelike! What do you know soon you will become "director" Yuni :-)
Well, I doubt that Hailuo AI is useful for my art, as it seems to have very strict filters, refusing to process anything that resembles butts, nipples, etc. It's really hard to understand what triggers a problem when you have to wait 2 hours for the video to start generating and in the end it says "bad content detected, try a different prompt"...
But I will still be happy to make some safe images specifically tailored for Hailuo AI because I like to see what it can do with them :D After all, 50 out of 85 pages in my gallery are "safe" content and I've never intended to become an adult artist ;D
Funny thing is one other track reminded me of Rammstein and in comments you were talking about them :D Well with music it is really "hit" or "miss" some song like this or the one I already praised are great yet others just don't click. And that goes even for best and most favourite bands and musicians. Just trying to say you are on right course but music is different kind of "beast" eh :-)
(For example I would like to think that my music taste is fine yet almost nobody on earth share this sentiment :D as I like very broad range from "jpop" to powermetal and when sharing people just dont like 80%.) See for yourself X-) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0eflYLkI4A www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzqvYx8g0oE
(But funny enough alone both songs are praised by their fans...)
Your games are great even old ones in fact your "sprite" art is stellar.
I find that if you don't like some songs of your favorite band at first, it simply takes time to get into them... I usually do it the reverse way, once I clearly hear the band is a definite favorite, I just embrace everything they do, assuming it's good, just to save time... The time shows it's usually true, over time you get too used to their "hits" and you start to understand the ones that "missed" at first, discovering some gems were hidden in the shadows too ;D Like one singer I recently liked, at first I saved everything that "hit" me but then listened to these songs for days and had to find absolutely everything he does haha, even if on the first day they sounded like repetitions or not so good material... ;D
Well, I must admit I couldn't listen to the two songs you shared for more than 20 seconds, so now I understand what my album sounds like to others XD But I'm not complaining, I think it's great you have your own very unique taste that you enjoy without the feeling that it's what everybody has to enjoy by default... And sharing music with people is indeed difficult unless you became friends over liking the same music in the first place haha.
Thanks for the compliment on my games, I'm still really trying to think how to get back to making them... Back when I made them, the main problem was the backgrounds, I'd draw a lot of sprites but BG always sucked and always was the reason to halt and cancel the development... But now it's way easier with AI's help, I mean not to generate some AI garbage but fully control and refine it so there are no artifacts and seams or whatever... The only problem is what game to make, because I've been playing puzzle games and noticed it really can piss you off if you can't win for a long time, and playing adventure games with a long story can be boring; the merging games where you merge things tend to be over simplified and end up in a lot of clutter. So I'm not quite sure what kind of genre to even choose... But it was fun to make the sprites at least ;D
I dont know if text makes any sense but music itself is alright by me :-) it has "life" to it.
ps: I was off internet so only now I can see and comment all the new pieces
Oooh, thank you so much Shifty! You don't know how much you saved my day - I was beginning to have a real depression over the realization that I can't step away from the "safe zone" in my art - once I do anything like a game or music or anything other than femboys and contortionists, there's an instant abrupt silence...
The text was a little experiment, I had no idea it would work out so well - it's probably one thing that AI can do that humans can't, it's to read complete gibberish and make it sounds like a real thing XD After making one track, I just couldn't stop and then was listening to my own "album" all day XD So I thought why not share it.
Don't worry about commenting on every track, I only posted them separately because I really liked the pictures, it's honestly not easy to make truly good monsters with AI which doesn't look like a simple AI glitch... But I think I made some of the scarier ones than I saw even in horror movies XD
Anyway, just happy to finally get a comment! Thank you for making the day great again! :D
Iam SUPER glad you shared clay original. The few clay pictures you have here shows without doubt, that you are great artist despite sometime claiming not to be :)
Plus it is amazing to see again that more naive and playful style in details like impractical pointy long hatt or curly shoes :)
I think considering myself an artist would be too much of a lie... I'm just someone into contortion and femboys who enjoys tinkering with software and learning new tricks :P
Iam super glad my comments could help in some way. Since ai stuff appeared I have in mind literally every second day one great idea and can't resist to at least "check" if I could actually achieve it and when I dedicate ie 14 days to the thing I can see OMG I could actually do it! (Last project was 2D space game). And then I realize "wait a moment" to properly finish it you need to dedicate at least one full year of time. Because Iam sadly not genial or talented but I can be very "dedicated" and with ai I can do a lot now! And then all commes "crushing" on you telling you that in 3 months there be another project or real life emergency... and you wont finish that game anyway. And it is maddening... . You at least are creating complete beautiful images and stories and songs now...
Hey go for your ideas I think "interdimensional" travel is good thing it is different to alternative multiverses which is super bad idea. I was always craving for Helen and Kyle to visit your proper demonic demons and learn some proper "stuff" and that is just one story. Or for Nuv and Ramazir to visit modern world and try all new toys X-)
Oh and there is one thing I realized lately which connect to your realization about "life goals". You know those shortlived certain projects and ideas they after few months seems like they didnt even existed they are like a dream a something which is slowly fading away. And with real life it is same, there are certain things which just "works" for decades (or centuries) even few fictional worlds are just so good and strong that they are still vivid and "alive". But other things and events are just fading away like a dream. I used to hate those philosophical views but there is some truth to them.
Sorry, I tried to read your last paragraph like 12 times thinking I must be crazy for not understanding plain English, even tried making AI explain what's written and it seems the overall meaning is "some things remain for centuries and some disappear like dreams..." But I'm still failing to understand what kind of "philosophical views" you hate... XD
And to second part of your frustration. JUST THINK SMALLER - look at your contortion game you did made all the mechanics and boring hard parts and then kinda abandonet it (It is exactly what I do lot of times yeah i hate myself for that too...). BUT WHAT IF you from the start set REALISTIC goal ie 10 screens in one town forrest etc and create complete full yet very small game. Sure it would be short but it would be finished and you could give it for free even on Steam and so on!!
And with stories... why create whole complex new world? No just start with adventure for 1-2 of your characters and give them I dont know also 10 images. Plus fluff like fantasy scenery of plains, rivers etc. No need to create huge world to compete with Tolkien create just extended deeper storyarc. And if some images in it arent top notch contortion masterpieces then what? Picture can be good and funny with your sexy kind characters even in normal positions!
Actually thinking of the game made me think of something I could do as a project. I think I should really stick with Yunia and that recent concept of "evil spirits", a kind of immaterial creatures who suddenly infest this world and cause big problems - from creating weird golems from buckets and logs, to possessing people turning them into slaves of darkness... I was thinking of contortion being a way to accumulate energy/mana while hodling extreme poses, and then waist-cinching being a way to preserve that energy (like Max MP), while sexy things working for healing/restoration, so things like bathhouses and brothels are great after tough anti-spiritual battles ;D
But what to do with all the sci-fi ideas... maybe could open portals not just to Inferia (kind of hell) but also to Earth 2201, maybe revamp that region I once had called "Technicca", so Technicca is the way they call the "real world" in Yunia, while that region in Yunia is kind of like a train station or an airpot where they don't let any modern gadgets to Yunia or something like that... XD
But yeah, starting from something small is a good idea. Yesterday, thinking of all this gave me a brilliant idea of the "meaning of life" - basically the whole meaning of life is that we set goals for ourselves and then we either reach them or we don't, making us believe that our life is either meaningful or not. But it's us who set the goals, nobody else, but we often set completely unrealistic goals and then say life is meaningless because we can't get exactly what we want. So setting achievable goals can definitely help.
YUNII!!!! Just believe in yourself please. And do not doubt your skills. Recently you did some of very best art ever including witty funny stories and whats more even song!!! I really feel you are just sad there is nothing in general wrong with your work! Sure I could point some minor problems but that is not issue nobody cant make masterpieces all the time daily!!!
The world just changed and believe me it really sux, because rate of change is faster than before in history of world. It is not just societal change as that happened in past too. But also world itself is changing because of technology.
For example I was very confident in my programming skills I have built in past 15 years, or my writing ability. Not to be some famous star but to live decent life. Now "ai" appeared and every big turd in leather jacket is saying that programmers are thing of past and should be all laid off etc. Same goes for writing...
With you it is similar you artistic skills were unmatched just few years ago, almost nobody in the world could come close in quality and scope. Now dang there is ai and anyone can just copy your style. Not at all fully but you know for many common people it is enough. You have embraced ai and can create even better works you always dreamed about but "competition" is much more numerous.
Entire world is just fucked up by "attention mechanics" you either get peoples attention by any means or you dont exist... that is how those basic ai algos fucked this world and more advanced ones will play with our apish brains even more in future.
I just really hope you wont let this to crush you because to me you are still best artist and thats true :)
Thank you so much Shifty!! For some reason I don't think more views would make me happier - my struggle is more about how I'm making my content and I think I really need to brush up my world, and how it makes me feel super sick that everything is so random and out of hand lately... It's like with every single new post I'm just pushing things to fall more apart instead of building something... ^^;
Just wish I could wake up in the morning to have a big project to work on - you know how Tolkien or Rowling or Sapkowski must wake up and they really know what to do with their day. Like, Tolkien had the hobbits - he wouldn't wake up to write about random cavemen or sci-fi because he just read Lovecraft or Jules Verne and he felt like writing something like that. He has his own thing...
Even most of my friends have concrete worlds and characters that they like to think about... Me, I always wake up to the headache and chaos of not knowing what to do and whole days feel empty, every picture is just a new disappointment, month after month... :( And even worse - I made up so many different stories that now it's impossible to choose just one...
About the world problems, there are too many if we start making a list of everything... But I think we need to focus on things that we can control directly, not the things we can't change at all, even if they affect us somehow - but if we can't do anything better then just try to adapt... ^^; Like, me I can't make people comment or view things but I can focus on the art itself that I can fully contorol.. ;D
Yeah "generative" models aren't ai, but that term is broad enough to work even in future when they get more complex in few years. Those today are like first x86 Intel chips in 70s. Still even today they are usable to create approximation of some real world concept and then the trick is to align result with your own vision somehow more.
Fractals are "universe artist" going lazzy after learning some deep math things :D or we are bound to percieve existence in some way and fractals are just the thing we see.
I see so you are "fluxing" :-) but thanks for telling that you are combining multiple models. Now that seems like quite good approach to "center" on some aspects each model independently learned to create backbone of image which align with our real world experience more than single modal can and then put into it your own "spirit" and skill.
Yeah, the terms people use can be super odd, for example it still makes me cringe every single time someone refers to a powerful desktop computer as a mere "device" XD
Fractals are at least pure math without data... I was going to mention wave function collapse which is a cool algorithm for procedurally generated maps for games but then realized it's probably not pure math and also requires some weight tables... ;D
I have no idea how to make a picture like this in Flux - I tried but it's unable to produce this style. I only used it to fix some small details but the picture overall looked exactly the same before Flux, just some tiny details had those random AI-like artifacts and Flux made it much cleaner. I think the picture overall is mostly a product of Reliberate and the watercolor-ish style is thanks to SeekYou Mikan and some ControlNet.
Is that real image converted by ai or pure ai random creation or did you worked and inpainted? Asking because it feels mostly natural and it has calm demeanor.
Yeah, it's pure ai, though you know how generative ai isn't really "generative" in any sense of the word.... XD I mean a true generative algorithm I think is something like fractals, perlin noise or voronoi diagrams, the stuff that generates images without using any data... But then again, I don't believe that linear matrix math based on prebuilt fixed weights has anything to do with the word "intelligence" either lol.
So "pure ai" it is, whatever that means XDD It's like "dark matter" which is neither "dark" nor "matter" but is called dark matter for the lulz. But yeah, I didn't use any real photos here, though I'm pretty sure the creators of Reliberate, SeekYou Mikan and Flux.1 Dev (the 3 models used to create this image) had vast datasets with a bunch of landscapes :3
Haha I love when you go in such "feestyle" direction. I mean some images can be just pure funn not meticulous perfect art. And this fantasy octo-pussy :D is just very funny to look at and probably would be even nice pet if it was real.
Sorry about these random images - it's just when "The God of the Valley" got no feedback, I got so frustrated in all this art that decided to completely wipe my site and all my other social accounts, and just change it to a random fun site without any comments. So I did all that and found a few funny pictures I made in the last couple of years... But then after a couple of days, I got over it as usual... but what to do with these funny pictures??
So I decided to keep them for now - I think they actually look interesting in a way that without them the gallery looks like a bunch of the same stuff... For me it's not the same when working on each picture separately, but when putting 20 pictures on one page it starts looking like the same stuff for some reason :/ Even though I'm trying to make every picture different in colors, style, lighting and poses, but the subjects are very similar. And these funny pictures seemed to add little breaks and intermissions here and there, so I actually liked how it looked in the end :3
My comment will be really silly but Noah seems to me here like cute and sweet Lolly Pop :) Or at least some otherwordly figure from old fashioned advertisement on them.
It has this romatic nostalgy feeling including his very unusuall glance.
Ah haha, it does have that retro vibe doesn't it? He does look a bit like if you tried to lick him, your tongue would stick right onto him and not let go. Hahaha!
I know what you mean about his nostalgic and romantic glance. It's as if he's saying "You can trust me, I'm a professional", while simultaneously winking at the ladies in the crowd. He's like a mix between a snake oil salesman and a magician. A charmer for sure! :D
Most of all I like innocence and simplicity of the scene, you can feel real joy even on very begining of adventure. Beautiful face, eyes hairs have space to shine! Same goes for background it is very simple but it is there and does its purpose!
That's super nice of you to say, thank you! I love how the simple background emphasizes the character and showcases the elegance in simplicity, just like you described. Yep, portraying the sense of happiness and excitement when they experience their new hobby is definitely important. Your kind words really make my day, so thank you again!
I wish I could be so dedicated and hard working but laziness is sometime strong with me :( but it is very inspiring not as just story but as your real hard work.
Well laziness can be used as an advantage in the world that's trying to make you do so many things that are completely unnecessary.

Fractals are at least pure math without data... I was going to mention wave function collapse which is a cool algorithm for procedurally generated maps for games but then realized it's probably not pure math and also requires some weight tables... ;D
I have no idea how to make a picture like this in Flux - I tried but it's unable to produce this style. I only used it to fix some small details but the picture overall looked exactly the same before Flux, just some tiny details had those random AI-like artifacts and Flux made it much cleaner. I think the picture overall is mostly a product of Reliberate and the watercolor-ish style is thanks to SeekYou Mikan and some ControlNet.
So "pure ai" it is, whatever that means XDD It's like "dark matter" which is neither "dark" nor "matter" but is called dark matter for the lulz. But yeah, I didn't use any real photos here, though I'm pretty sure the creators of Reliberate, SeekYou Mikan and Flux.1 Dev (the 3 models used to create this image) had vast datasets with a bunch of landscapes :3

So I decided to keep them for now - I think they actually look interesting in a way that without them the gallery looks like a bunch of the same stuff... For me it's not the same when working on each picture separately, but when putting 20 pictures on one page it starts looking like the same stuff for some reason :/ Even though I'm trying to make every picture different in colors, style, lighting and poses, but the subjects are very similar. And these funny pictures seemed to add little breaks and intermissions here and there, so I actually liked how it looked in the end :3
What is hardest about creating such LORA? Is it piecing together right dataset?

Or at least some otherwordly figure from old fashioned advertisement on them.
It has this romatic nostalgy feeling including his very unusuall glance.
I know what you mean about his nostalgic and romantic glance. It's as if he's saying "You can trust me, I'm a professional", while simultaneously winking at the ladies in the crowd. He's like a mix between a snake oil salesman and a magician. A charmer for sure! :D

Same goes for background it is very simple but it is there and does its purpose!
