Would anyone be interested in AI comissions?
🕑 Added 2023-12-29 21:28:12 +0000 UTCThe idea was this; I'd charge $25 for a 5-pack of high-quality (although not necessarily perfect) images. (In general I'd probably render at least 10 or so, but I'd make sure at least 5 were high-quality, and I'd share the outtakes, obviously.) They could be of a given character, with a given body type, etc... but I would be limited in terms of the kinds of scenes and set-ups that I could do.
Have you noticed that most of the AI shots are a character either standing, sitting, or lying down, without much in the way of interaction? That's what it's good at. Anything involving a character holding a smaller character, anything that involves much in the way of interaction, vore POV shots, etc... it just takes too much trial and error to pull that kind of thing off. Basically, I can't do anything with multiple characters or interaction of any kind. So it's limited to pin-ups and pictures of them in a wasteland... and even then, it's kind of a grab bag as to what you'd get. That's just how it works.
Scenes can be similarly hard to pin down... It's good at doing city scenes, and good at doing things like stadiums (which are about the only way I can get crowds to reliably work.) I haven't had much luck getting scenes involving bridges or overpasses to work, for instance... And while I've gotten mini-giantess stuff to work in the past, that tends to take too much trial and error to get good results.
So in general, mix and match the following:
Pose: Standing, walking, sitting, laying down
Sizes: giantess or mega-giantess
Scenes: City, city (ruined,) town, countryside, or stadium
I know some people aren't a huge fan of charging for AI stuff, but I think my recent output has been good enough to charge for comissions. It's less time-consuming than DAZ3D comissions, which were too difficult to keep up with. I think $5 per image is pretty reasonable, especially considering that there would generally be some bonus images on top of that. I'd also retain the rights to post the images on social media, or wherever, and you'd be free to do the same.

I for sure would love one!

I mean there's a whole lot of possibilities for different changes, poses, locations, etc within that framework, it's not like those are literally the only differences. And you'd be amazed at the percent of size art, much of which is good, which fits inside of that "40 possible scenario" list. Also, every now and again I have literally re-rendered scenes from comics with another character and made some minimal changes, and no one was the wiser! I also like the AI pics as excuses to come up with quick little stories for accompaniment, and it's an easy way to get engagement and new followers without taking too much time and energy away from working on comics. Sometimes I like working in DAZ... but dear god there's a lot of tedium and bullshit involved in making big, impressive giantess scenes. The further I try to push the program, and the higher my standards get for visuals, the more the frustrations mount on top of each other. That's when I think about switching to Blender... and then I try to work in Blender for a while and immediately go back to DAZ. Sometimes I still like to mess around with random scenes in DAZ, but lately it's been about the last thing I've wanted to do when I'm not working on a comic. Not to mention that setting up a scene and posing a character can take hours in addition to the render time. And besides, the lazy quick one-off renders that I'd do for engagement tended to be the kind of thing that fell into the "40 possible scenario" list anyway. So either I stop posting almost every day, which would mean a big hit to sales on Gumroad, or I do more time consuming one-off renders, which takes time and energy away from comics... Or I do something that's relatively quick and relatively low effort, and feels like a nice palate cleanser.

When you mix and match the 4 poses, 2 sizes, and 5 locations, that still only comes to 40 possible scenes/scenarios. I think there isn't an amazing variety of characters either. With those limitations, you might be as well off re rendering scenes from your comic previews after swapping in characters from another comic.
