But this anime model is something I don't even want to call "my art", it doesn't look like my art, it doesn't feel like my art, and it doesn't take any effort to do at all. So when I see others making similar low-effort content and acting as if they're trendsetters in the digital age, I feel a strong urge to give them a good old-fashioned sock to the jaw.
So at least I will try to get people to know how simple it is to create this sort of artwork, then maybe my fans won’t be misled into giving money to some jerk on Patreon who wants $25/mo for their crap that anybody with an average laptop and no artistic skills could make without breaking a sweat.
Looking at some of these posts though, it's incredible that AI is able to generate something like that with just a few clicks. I'm browsing through this secondary gallery and obviously your "main" artworks are way more artistic and elaborate, but still, like... I mean, just look at these AI artworks - As an artist I find it very, very difficult indeed to even see any point in picking up a pencil any more. I couldn't remotely imitate the quality of these "drawings" even if I tried for hours - my technical ability as well as my willingness to invest effort have become completely irrelevant.
I hope other people see it differently and take some sort of encouragement or inspiration from genAI, but for me personally, I have to say that while the images are beautiful and all sorts of other positive things, I find them, above all, incredibly discouraging.
I'm trying to get to a mentality like in chess, where chess computers that are superhumanly strong have been commonplace for a long time now, but I find it very hard. And also, I'm not talking about your "main" artworks (which might be called "AI assisted"), that's a different thing entirely since much human effort goes into it. These fully AI-generated illustrations though... They're so incredibly high quality for so cheap, if you can put it that way.
Don't mistake me, I'm not trying to ask you to make any changes or take pictures down or anything like that, I just wanted to put these thoughts to paper, not even necessarily directed at you, just trying to put this feeling into words. I wonder how many other artists are out there who don't only feel like genAI is stealing from them, but who also have this feeling of discouragement that I described above. I certainly know of a handful among my friends/colleagues, and I have struggled with this problem a lot over the past year or two, since this whole AI thing started.
In that sense, it can be said: We're all very fortunate that you were not likewise affected, but instead you've been inspired and have embraced genAI fully. A lot of cool artwork has come from it so far, which we should be grateful for.

The images in the /ai/ section make me feel nothing, it only feels good that at least I invested a lot of time into building proper ComfyUI workflows, so it pleases me in a way because I love figuring things out and doing at least something myself. But the results I'm getting indeed feel like cheating, it's very strange to type a few words and get a perfect picture. It's too much output for very little input, but I'm trying to think how to make more complicated and artistic with 3D models, so I have at least something to do.
So here we come to the main point. The bad folks who actually consciously use this as an easy way to make money. All those freaks on Patreon who download everything for free but dare to take donations for their work, pretending there's some hard work behind the curtain. Many people are working very hard to build these technologies and models, and it's all free, while those freaks who advertise themselves all over DeviantART, dare to use these results to make money for themselves.
And I don't care if they're just poor folks, simply trying to do something for a living or anything like that. Robbers from the street are also just trying to make some money, they beat up old ladies and steal from school kids, and them being needy is no excuse for their crimes. Every single guy who has put AI art advertisers on DeviantART deserves to get banned for making their paying customers believe that they're buying something worthy and that there's a lot of hard work behind their AI art. It's an absolute scam and all those Patreon artists must be treated as scammers.
To say that AI art discourages you is like saying "what's the point in doing any honest work like farming, cooking, making clothes, building houses, etc, when you can simply go and rob some guy". Yes, it's discouraging that there are criminals who cross the border of morality to get what they want as quickly as possible, but please keep working on your honest art, because at least you have real skills and the real process of making art. You have the real feelings behind it, unlike people who just ask a genie to magically make art for them and they get the perfect results they can't even control, and they get them way too quickly, while at the same time they couldn't draw even a stick figure without the AI.
I already had this problem with all the 3D artists long before the AI era, it always pains me to read how a 3D artist who had downloaded all the assets for Daz Studio, still pretends very hard to be a proper artist. They probably have some common mental trauma from being a liar for years, because they all act in a very similar manner. You wouldn't believe how many people I've seen on DeviantART who honestly believe that their 3D stuff is "real art", when all they really do is clicking a few presets from several assets they downloaded. Every single Daz Studio user is like that, truly believing they're doing some hard work. I bet you could get a degree in psychology by studying their behavior and how Daz Studio alters their vision of reality. And when the AI emerged, they were the first to start posting blogs like "omg that new technology is totally cheating, please ban AI!" I mean look at yourselves, you haven't even made a single texture by hand, let alone a 3D model. It's very common to accuse others of something you're guilty of yourself, because then you have a very good picture of their sins because they're also your own sins. Of course, the 3D results are sometimes pleasant and I leave comments, congratulating on very nice *results*, but only because I'm kind of too friendly and tend to encourage people, even when I know they don't really deserve it and all they really did was drag a few sliders.
For me, both 3D art and AI art are still valid forms of art that shouldn't be condemned as such because the *results* at least are nice. It's just the people who say "this render took 25 hours" to fool their followers into believing that there's something difficult about their art process, it's them who make me sick. Their renders take 25 hours because they don't even know how to adjust the render settings properly, not because they put a lot of work into it. They don't have even minimal skills to be digital artists. But as long as they make contortion/femboy art, I try to not get under their skin too much, because I'm not naturally angry and it's much easier to stay positive. It's their lives, if they want to waste their lives being a nobody, an "artist" without an art process, so be it. Some people are crippled and don't even have arms for example, but they still tend to have way more skillful and artistic lives than all those 3D and AI artists. But in the end, art is more important, and art can take many forms, even if something is not too difficult to make. I only have a problem with people when they try to scam others and mislead their followers, but I've also noticed that such accounts are short-lived, cheaters are just coming and going, they lose the interest because they don't have any real process behind their work, so eventually their own emptiness will crush them from the inside.

Thanks for all the beautiful art!
I love you!!

anyways, i just want to say how addicting your art is :) i know there's an audience for contortionist stuff (im not sure if fetish would be the right word) and im not a part of that audience personally, but I just find your art to be absolutely hauntingly beautiful. I've never seen someone execute their passions and interest with so much dedication and improvement before! as soon as I lay my eyes on one of your pieces i can't seem to take my eyes off of it 😊 the rendering, the composition, EVERYTHING it's like a drug and before I know it, I've spent multiple hours just in awe of how your mond and hands work xD
keep going yuni! im not a huge fan of a lot of AI work nowadays, but you seem to have all the AI stuff under control! Unlike many soulless AI "art" that i see around, yours still feel like "you", full of life and careful craftsmanship😊 you're truly such a spectatcle to me yuni. thank you for your masterpieces :)

Especially since this isn't a darknet, it's just an art gallery with femboys and beautiful girls. There's plenty of that kind of stuff on Twitter, Onlyfans or Patreon, which aren't anonymous at all. It's not a crime in normal countries. Of course, when the models and characters are over 18.
And if you usually signed your posts on the site with a nickname, and then suddenly wanted to write a post without a nickname, maybe it's really better not to post it on the site??
Yuni, sorry for butting in on the conversation.
Sasha M
I would be pretty upset if I created an account for a mobile game that I wanted to enjoy without being recognized, and then I discovered that some global big brother like Google had automatically linked my identity with Yuni.
Maybe it would be better if I added another input field where it asks for your username below the comment box... It will remember what you entered and you won't have to type it every time.
-Valri
Look, all YouTube content creators always ask viewers to leave a comment and a like if they like the content and want to support the creator.
I think it would be very useful to put a message on the site directly asking viewers to leave a comment if they liked the image, and a short explanation of why it's so important to you, the author.
It would be better to put this message not on the first page, but right next to each image in the most visible place. Maybe before the 18+ message.
I think this message would be useful in any case. It will be a reminder to people who care, or who just consider themselves polite people.
Sasha M
P.S. Please don't disappear. I'm very worried about you.
/<o>
It's just unfair, but ultimately I chose to accept that everyone has their own different situations, some have to labor in coal mines, some are stuck on a desert island without internet connection, some are cats and can't type to save their life, and trying to pin guilt upon them will only make ME feel bad in the end.
I hate to be forced to do anything unpleasant, so I decided to keep struggling and providing my stuff for free. And you guys should also try to provide your stuff for free - your thoughts, ideas, time etc. We all win this way.
And by the way, your comment counts, so you should be able to see everything as usual now.
-Valri
I am indeed testing some new weapons of mass distraction... So please let me know if the problem persists... Normally, you should immediately get full access after posting even 1 comment...
The older ways to style web are usually as you said simpler and works better. If there is ever super new browser functionality beyond showing html, images, videos, music then I won't nagg you to ommit it dont worry X-)
Shifty
I've been building websites for as long as IE6 has existed and it was a huge problem, then MSIE fell from grace and Google Chrome made everything work like it should, but it's not like there has been a great evolution since then. I can't think of a website that works only in Chrome 131 and couldn't be implemented to work in the earliest versions of Chrome.
It's like Minecraft, we have v21 now, but you could play v1 or Beta for virtually the same experience if not better. You could punch trees, build a "house", fight off creepers. Everything they did in later versions feels like mods on top of that base game, not some fundamental evolution.
But I'm not advocating for outdated browsers, even on my retro-laptop I install the latest versions because they're faster and take up less memory. And if you're concerned about Google's malware and their recent co-ops with the US military, there's Ungoogled Chromium which is pretty much what Chrome should be without a single line of code by Google and without any auto-updates:
Github: github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
Binaries: ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries
I think that this classic type of menu is most convenient for desktops and laptops.
And I am very glad that I can see all the art in one gallery again. Thank you! Nudity and sex in art is the most normal topic of all. Religious, conservative people are so pathetic. They have fun with wars, but they don't want to see people giving each other pleasure. You gave them settings and turned off erotica by default. I am sure that is enough.
Sasha M
Enjoying nudity and sex in art as something normal should be a privilege of the gods who bless this planet with their divine presence, not a right of the random Tom and Jerry, whose infantile beliefs forbid even the existence of various inconvenient parts of the body.
Spliting normal art and erotic art into two categories kinda looks like second named is something well secondary :( if you feel that way it is ok but if you do it because someone is leaving shit comments it is bad .-/
If I may suggest - when user sets options to "kinky" level arts should merge into one gallery like they used to be. In normal mode they can be separate to not waste your work.
Secondly that left menu is "janky" or how to say it jumps here and there if it was possible I would like to be option in options to keep it "up" without moving when scrolling.
Iam almost sure I forgot something X-)
Thanks for listening to feedback.
Shifty
I've also added an option to merge the Safe and NSFW galleries into one, but this is not the intended behavior. The reason for separating them was the new series of FleX-Men, which I didn't want to show right next to explicit content. I was considering creating a whole new website for safe content that doesn't belong in the adult gallery, but then I thought that using a side menu could be a good way to have multiple galleries on one site without mixing them up. I never considered that it might make some people think that the NSFW Gallery is "secondary" - to me it just made things more convenient. But of course, I respect those who prefer the old behavior and don't want changes.
Speaking of bad comments, we now have a powerful banhammer tool that doesn't need cookies or IP addresses to block bad actors. However, I rarely ever receive comments that I need to delete - 99.9% of people are nice!
Shifty
Yet Iam missing "comment" section in top bar now. It allowed for quick check of new replies and such.
Shifty
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
Seriously, I think this is very good. And now the main page menu has room for a couple more sections if needed. Like music, videos, or games.
Sasha M
The most daring decision was to replace the main menu with this folder-like structure... But I think folders are more fitting for a contortion website, and with this kind of flexibility we can now have unlimited sections :D
I only value the comments on my site because I can back them up and know they will never be lost, but when trusting anything to social platforms it's never transparent what they will allow themselves to do tomorrow - will some random noname mod delete your post or your whole account? Will they suddenly ban your VPN so you can no longer access the entire platform, like Instagram, Facebook and DeviantArt do frequently? It's never made clear, they just reserve the right to do whatever they want with your data without any kind of diplomacy. It's like a cop who can simply knock and search your house without a warrant just because he felt like it.
The twitter account itself is no more than a banner on the trafficked road, today it's there, tomorrow it's not, its only function to point toward where you can look at my stuff if you like. It feels like a waste of time to invest into growing a fanbase on the road, or optimizing an account that is there today and no longer there tomorrow.
People probably didnt commented because at least for me it was just buggy...
Shifty
Apparently for a visitor it's easier to click a few settings than have a lot of garbage in the URL, or maybe the long URL looked too scary, I dunno I still have no idea what was wrong but I guess it's best to use the version that works... Now with Git I can at least easily track all changes and even backup the database and comments every day and go back to any previous state if I mess up, making things finally unbreakable as can be :D
But on the other hand, if you don't use cookies, then if you send someone a full link to an erotic image, they might not get a window with a warning about NSFW and a request to confirm their age.
Personally, I would combine the settings window with detailed descriptions (as you did a couple of days ago) and the use of cookies as it is now.

I hope you do like the picks it is just my personal list nothing more it was good to review all your works from past few years in one go!
Shifty
Long time fan of your work. I particularly love the contortion / missing limbs hybrids. I don't recall but do you have a Patreon?
Also, not all people are good at expressing their thoughts. I often screw up too, so I'll try to formulate my question very carefully and thoroughly:
Is there anything I can personally do to prevent you from "gradually deleting" your old classic super kinky/extreme works, but rather to encourage you to "gradually bring back" the old ones and publish new ones?
I'm sure Shifty and your other regular viewers and commenters would also be happy to know how they can help.
PS I thought you were deleting some kinky pictures because of self-censorship or because you yourself haven't been very interested in making sex/kinky pictures in recent years. But I never thought you were deleting them because of lack of interest. Look, super hot picture of Yasha and Andrzej ( yuni.us/the-unseen-footage ) has more comments than most others and is still at the top of views. And some of the comments on this picture are very cute and passionate, in my opinion.
Please just tell me if there's anything I can do to keep you sharing pictures like these and I will:

yuni.us/anus-in-furs
yuni.us/the-invulnerable
PPS I understand you don't have enough time and energy to answer all the comments, but I really, really hope you answer this one!
I'm glad you've noticed how much people enjoy certain images, like The Unseen Footage... It shows me that there is a demand for such works, which encourages me to continue creating them ;D
Regarding your question about what you can do to prevent me from deleting my old classic super kinky/extreme works, but rather encourage me to gradually bring back the old ones and publish new ones... I think it's great that you're asking this. It shows a genuine interest in my work and a desire to support me. Next time I'm about to delete something, I'll try to remember your question and think about it before doing so. Your support means a lot to me! Even if I can't always control my feelings and emotions while dealing with negative comments from jerks...
In the recent years, I've tried many times to keep sharing something interesting and extreme and every single time everyone simply ignores it, turning their noses like it's some smelly shit. The only shame is accusations like this - assumptions that I must sit there for hours a day, making some free extreme art for you while you don't need to move a finger other than 1click to open and close my webpage. Beautiful life, keep it up!
So if you lose something good in your life, always blame it on yourself. On my part, I keep making more extreme art but I won't share it anymore, I'm also gradually taking down old extreme works. Nobody is guilty here but you - again, on my part, I keep making free art every day and I've never asked for anything in all these 20 years, other than a few simple comments. I don't want to post stuff and then feel like an idiot for posting it because everybody just turns their noses.
Yuni, on the one hand, you are right, of course. Especially since this will require technical changes to the site.
But on the other hand, it can be much more difficult to systematize a large amount of material than to create a Yunipedia section and add new subsections and articles to it one by one (as needed).
For example, if you have materials about L'amouriel, it is much easier to immediately create a "Yunia/Pantheon/L'amouriel" subsection (or hierarchical tags) and collect materials there too, than to display them only in the main timeline, where you yourself can lose them over time.
I mean, I accidentally found a page about the god L'amouriel when I was looking for pictures of archers. And now I would like to read the texts and look at images of other gods, but I just don't know if there is any information on this topic on the site or not yet.
It would be easier for you yourself when all new materials are added in a systematic way. And you can always refresh your memory with the necessary information.
For the development of a new world, the online encyclopedia format is much more suitable than a blog. At the same time, the main blog can continue to display absolutely all new works, regardless of whether they are related to the Yunia project or not.
Sasha M
PS Thank you very much for continuing to improve the site! Sorting by year and best pictures of the year is a very nice and convenient addition.
I agree with you that the current structure of the site can sometimes be confusing and it's often hard to find a specific post, while older posts tend to vanish into oblivion.
I've considered making a wiki-like system many times, but every time it's very hard to think of the structure. I remember the last time I tried dividing Yunia to kingdoms and describing each of them, it ended up being a lot of information, and as usual I got the impression that nobody was impressed... XD
So I'm still on the way to find the right structure that would be helpful instead of feeling unnecessary...
I see with annoyance that often much less talented artists have large and very large audiences on Twitter. They just put as much effort into promoting their art as they do into the art itself: they interact with each other, exchange links and likes, post their art in thematic community channels, and on other sites and social networks, sometimes even hire professionals to promote their art.
And don't judge me too harshly. What if one day I come up with a really good idea, and I won't tell you because I'll be afraid to anger you. ^^
Sasha M
I am following your journey for at least ten years and every time I am stunned with your creativity
Please keep on
Your art means a lot for many people
However, most people were unable to find the way to get back to the usual site and assumed that I simply wiped all my content and replaced it with garbage, so I had to return to the less secure but more accessible version.
Ideally, I know I need to implement logins and user accounts instead of just "security by obscurity", but I don't want to collect people's email addresses, since any server can potentially be hacked, so I choose to not collect any data in the first place.
Me, personally, I always wish you'd do more foot focused stuff:3
