Announcement + Changes (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

First of all, apologies for the recent inactivity. The reason there has been a wide gap between my last few uploads will be explained here.

For the past month, I've been working on a new style that looks completely different to all my previous ones, a more realistic looking style. For now, I'm calling it Style X.

I'd stay I've spent about 40 hours trying to perfect this style and make sure the generations are as consistent as possible, there have even been some days where I'd spend 5+ hours working on the new style instead of making new sets.

Due to this, it might have seemed like I was just being lazy and only uploading sparingly on purpose, but believe me, that is not the case. It's quite unfortunate because I wanted to maintain a good upload schedule while also working on the style simultaneously but I just couldn't keep up, especially when IRL things popped up on top of that.

I've been losing a lot of members recently and that's also been pretty demotivating but I hope I can make a comeback after this, assuming you guys like the style.
The sad thing is, despite all of my effort, I'm still not super content with how it's turned out. There are things I wish I could improve but I just don't know how. Some things I DO know how, but when I improve a certain part of the style, another part worsens - It's been extremely tiresome trying to find a good balance.

That being said, this style is likely not going to stay the same forever. My goal is to improve the style over time, if I manage to find a way to make it look better.

This style also has other benefits that will massively improve how long it takes for me to make my sets. For one, watermarks don't show up. (I'd normally spend 1-2 hours removing those per set). Anatomy errors are also pretty rare, at least compared to all my other sets. (That's another ~2 hours saved).

Last but not least, the images feel more dynamic and better-looking overall so instead of me trying to generate a position I'm looking for 30 times in a row and including 10-15 variations of it in the set because I don't know which one to choose since they all look decent in different ways; I can usually get what I want within 5 tries max if it's not too complicated, meaning the sets will have less repetition and they won't take as long to make.

When I began making AI art, the goal was always to make 60-100 good looking images per set but due to the aforementioned issues, I could never manage that and I'd end up spending 8+ hours per set with ~200 images and including many repeated positions.

Because of this, I ended up putting more effort or giving more images to sets of some Tier 2 Requesters over Tier 3 Requesters, which brings me to my next point:

I'm getting rid of the membership "Tier 2 - Requester". This tier was meant to be a cheaper alternative to "Tier 3 - Requester+" with less images, less available styles and be something I wouldn't need to put nearly as much effort in but still enough to make the sets look good.

I was never able to manage the image count for the two tiers, or my individual sets for that matter. This felt very unfair to my Tier 3 members, so for that reason alone I'm going to be deleting it next month. If you are a current Tier 2 member and wish to upgrade to Tier 3 next month, reach out to me and let me know so I can open up a slot for you.

Another thing I've thought about is the amount of Styles I have. With this new addition of Style X, I now have 8 styles in total, which is honestly too much. Styles 4-6 were originally meant to be extra styles for Tier 3 members over Tier 2 with the benefit of generating good images for specific fetishes, but as of now absolutely no one has tried Styles 5 & 6 and while Style 4 has been used twice, I'm personally not a fan of how the sets have turned out. There's also the fact that it is not a unique style, other creators use it, and I like to have my own original styles.

Some requesters have also expressed indecisiveness when making a request given the large amount of styles. On account of this, I'm heavily considering getting rid of Styles 4,5,6 & Legacy entirely. For the time being, I'll leave them be, if you guys have any opposing opinions regarding this topic, let me know.

I think that's all I wanted to say, if things go well I should be uploading a lot more frequently moving forward, mostly using the new style. I miss making my own sets lol

I hope you guys end up liking it, despite its flaws!
