edit #63. original from /slop/ on the /trash/ board of a wordfiltered imageboard. non-wordfiltered part of the source link:
.moe/trash/res/40.html#10324

apparently this character ("renge" from "blue archive") is supposed to have a horn, but there's not really anything i can do about that

it was my mistake suggesting in parentheses in the request anchor that "caption-makers" are the only people who can post content in this thread; sorry. i didn't originally plan on posting a request anchor, so i didn't think that through. obviously any original content that includes dialogue or storytelling is welcome

recording that "gaussian blur" video example for the OP made me realize that there was no reason i had to keep making the same mistake i explained at 0:52 that i willingly kept making for the sake of standardization. so i stopped making it, and reduced the "gaussian blur" "stroke" (outline) layers i use from three (3) total to two (2) total, to compensate for it appearing a lot darker (and being slightly bigger) from no longer being partially obscured

i'm kind of running low on stuff to caption. i personally only caption ai-generated images, since i consider genners infinitely more approachable (unless they have a small-ish enough following on twitter that i assume they'll notice me quote retweeting them shoehorning a gratuitous fetish caption onto a completely vanilla gen on my zero-follower account), and i am super bad with procrastinating, so idk if i will ever be arsed to browse old >>>/d/ddg threads looking for new gens. i could always actually bother trying to edit-in smegma again (which that and pee is my main passion), but it's so stressful for me to try with no drawing skill that i'm still procrastinating about it. i still have a skin tone edit i've been procrastinating about putting time into doing, too. so i guess i'll just kinda flounder-around until i hit a wall of having literal NOTHING i'm inspired to caption, then idk what i'd do

i put more time into the skin time edit, but it just looks so bad still. the skin tone edit is a lot better (i didn't even notice the purple glare in my first attempt), and i definitely think the actual selection i made looks marginally better. but i think i'm just approaching not keeping any of the blood unselected, because the traces of cum on the edges of the blood just looks so bad, and it hardly seems possible to /only/ select the blood at some parts of it. i already spent over an hour only managing this this session, so i guess i'll just dick-around for another 11 days until i feel i have to try again just so i can caption it...

my first time using more than one (1) font in an edit. i used two (2). also my first time color-coding text, if you don't count my adding a trans pride flag background to trans-related words in edit #20 >>11359124. it was a lot easier than adding the trans pride flag background, since changing text color is just a click away

i really struggled with choosing what colors to use, or, at least the saturation to use for them. i found that bold colors were too distracting, so i settled on pale colors, and having the guy's color be paler than the girl's color, so as to put more emphasis on the girl's speech. but i'm not satisfied with the shade of blue i settled on for the guy's speech, but at a certain point, every time i fucked with it, i felt it always looked worse. i also struggled with the fact that i worried the guy's blue being too pale would be interpreted as queer or limp dick, but making it much bolder made it kept clashing with the pretty pale gold of the girl's text, so i couldn't do much with it. i might have to learn color theory to understand how to choose and employ colors properly. i hope it won't be too difficult, since i'm not like an artist learning about bounce light and how to immersively saturate or desaturate colors n shit. but i might learn some of that anyway in the process, but i'll try not to get too stressed-out over it

the second font i used was "satoshi black", from the same site i got "pally bold" from:
https://fontpair.co/fonts/fontshare/satoshi

they definitely changed the site since i chose "pally bold" from it. "pally" doesn't even use the "bold" version in the preview anymore, so had i chosen a font from it today, i probably wouldn't have chosen pally. i also feel they literally multiplied the font count by several times over... i also noticed a spooky font that might not've been there when i chose pally, which i might use one day:
https://fontpair.co/fonts/fontshare/comico

>>11377740
i also found that since i fixed my "gaussian blur" "stroke" (outline) layers to no longer be partially-obscured by my normal "stroke" layer, that it's simply too bold now to even dupe it once to have two (2) layers of it total; i didn't notice such until the basically white background of this image made such super clear to me. when it was partially-obscured, i used three (3) layers. now i am down to one (1), having changed nothing but ceasing to make three (3) pixels of its 7.5 pixels obscured anymore. it's shocking. since fixing it being partially-obscured, i was too lazy desu to actually compare doing it incorrectly to doing it correctly, to attempt to match it, to make fixing it not appear to be a distinct change from how i'd done it until then. but i was also too lazy to be trying to redo my presets for the "gaussian blur" to match it as 1:1 as possible. so only using one (1) "gaussian blur" "stroke" layer now is the only difference i can be arsed to do

where's the caption thread on /trash/? i searched for one weeks ago and found nothing:

>>11376854
Brother, put some feather on your selection, also up saturation on your edited parts of the skin, adjust colour tone to not make it look so ashy. If available, use HSL edit and not curves.

>>11377792
no idea what "feather" is. is that a brush? i actually did start reducing "hardness" on my brush when i put time into it that time, when for the first time i went at it, i used 100 "hardness" and "force" (other stuff were just default for whatever the brush happened to have them as, besides size). when i did my first skin tone edit >>11368414 i felt i had more freedom for skin color, but in this one the glare just looked so bad if i did anything but make him just the silhouette of an locked character, i guess because the guy's skin unedited was so pale. but i only watched some skin edit tutorials specifically, then some generic curves/levels/hue-saturation gimp tutorials on youtube and fucked with those. i didn't entertain changing individual colors as is possible in curves (and definitely elsewhere), because i figured the skill ceiling for that would be way higher than just changing a value across the board, and i had low standards, i guess. idk what "HSL edit" is, either, but just plugging "HSL gimp" into a search engine it shows some stuff related to color, so i guess i should look into it. thank you. cheers

above all else, i am super lazy, though, so i procrastinate about everything. but i technically have the motivation to do stuff sometimes...

edit #66

another disproportionately long time spent dicking around with colors and color saturation without any knowledge of color theory. i don't want to talk about it. literally took so much longer than the caption and the typesetting combined

only thing worth saying is that even without knowledge of color theory (specifically which color evoke which emotions, which i assume is part of it), between stocking's two hair colors (and regardless of blue being a perfect contrast to panty's gold anyway), pink felt like it diminished her piercing words, so i had to go with blue. i'm also more conscious, i guess, of knowing where on the color spectrum to go when choosing complimentary colors. so i am learning, i guess, even if by bashing my head against the wall. next time i will just try to remember to just watch a fucking video on color theory on 2x speed like i should've done in the first place

also, i literally forgot to reduce my font's ("pally bold") spacing to one (1) pixel between the lowest and highest lowercase letters until i literally finished the caption and started typesetting it. so i changed my "pally bold" preset to literally overlap the lowercase letters by a lot, so that whenever i switch to it i can immediately go "what the fuck" and realize i have to zoom-in after picking a font size and figure out the one-pixel gap for it before typing a single word of the caption in it

Thank you everyone! Took a break for a while cause so many games came out/got updated, but have been messing around with different AI settings as well as getting some grasp on clipstudio, no more having to draw my own text bubbles and I can use the built-in poser to get compositions I want. Here's an example panel of doing that, still a very long way from putting this all together into pages. This would only be 1 panel of 3 on a page, taking my time with it all to keep experimenting. Took another goblin TF comic request, won't be particularly long cause I just wanted to use it to get used to these new tools.

I'm still using paint.net for the quick and easy edits that AI can then clean up cause the UI is so simple and easy, but CS should be a big step up when it comes to panelling, bubbles and text. Have yet to make an example I can show off of that, though.

>>11377680
>>11377679
To be honest, I was just going off whatever I imagined, there wasn't any real guide around what I was doing. Just "does this fit and look nice?" or "do they ever do this in actual manga?". Experiment and don't be afraid to start from scratch, you'll still have all the assets, it's just deciding where to arrange them that can take some retries. Look up comic panel flow examples/tutorials from people who know a lot more than I do, and generally, go back to whatever you made after a few minutes of looking at it and try to imagine you're reading it blind so you can determine whether the order makes sense.

I'm completely new to clipstudio, but might be able to provide some advice on using that for panelling once I've got some experience with it.

Going off this, here's some examples of when I was putting together my last big comic. At first I was doing it by drawing out a simple layout and doing it piece by piece, but later on was instead making all the images first then deciding where to put them in relation to eachother. I usually make a script where I'll note which panel should be larger or where I might want them aligned, but that naturally changes a lot once you're actually making it. This lead to a lot of cutting and overlapping, but that's fine, just part of using AI assets. Also ended up flipping panels horizontally a lot, so there's inconsistency in character details like the direction of their hair (I added accessories and such last to keep those consistent at least) but honestly I don't think people really care about that. The story itself already had a big inconsistency on purpose, because I didn't think anyone looking to jack off would care about Marin's eyes not being naturally red and inserting an explanation would have gotten in the way of the story.

Oh yeah, it goes without saying, but all of this is wrong, do not copy how I layout and panel things. I broke pretty much every rule possible cause I'm not a real artist, just a guy playing around and trying to learn how to do any of this through trial and error. Would rather make something that is wrong before I do things right, you know? But you can start by doing it right instead.

So first off, stick to vertical pages, not my mishmash of landscape 2 page spreads. That was just me experimenting.
Second, use gutters, the little gaps between panel borders. Only reason I didn't before is cause I was lazy and wasn't using good tools for it. Not necessary 100% of the time, but for separate scenes, they are. Make vertical gutters thin and horizontal ones a little thicker.
Third, look at pixiv and filter to manga and just look at how people on there lay things out. Full colour gets away with a lot, but the fundamentals of layouts still apply. You don't need to stick to a fixed template, but putting things in a clean, readable order is a craft that's been going on long before any of us were born and there are some things we can consider to be general rules.

See basic explanations here https://globalcomix.com/news/details/260/creator-tips-and-tricks-10-more-tips-for-paneling-
Pic is example templates from there alongside random examples from pixiv, they don't follow an exact template but they do generally fit into an order similar to the basic templates.

just another thing to add to the proofreading checklist: check ensure there aren't any capital letters where they shouldn't be

Man I wish I was half-assing this still. Keep second guessing every single little aspect when I'd otherwise just put down whatever and move on. Any critiques?

>>11379344
i'm the poster above you, so i have never dabbled-in literally anything but "stroke" (outline) text, and only adding "gaussian blur" "stroke" layers thanks to your tutorial last thread, haha. so i REALLY cannot offer ANY advice on font choice, italic/bold text, colored/inverted colored text/stroke, speech bubbles (and which you choose for which scenario), angled text; anything; let alone formatting a comic, which is a whole nother can of worms. so please take anything i say with a grain of salt!!!!

but, that said, personally, i think the 2nd speech bubble in the 2nd panel has an oddly-phrased sentence:
>you make more mess than you clean!
the simplest amendment i can think of would be:
>you make more [of a] mess than you clean!
and i get that in the last panel, your typesetting is forced by obscuring the person's face not being an option. but even so, the second speech bubble being higher than the first made my eyes land on it (and even read it) first, so i was utterly confused about the order to read the speech bubble. i personally have struggled with stuff like this a lot, but if i can afford to, i try to make cascading staircases pretty much, where the metric for the staircase is the first character in the paragraph. for example, in this caption i made last thread (extreme content warning; do not read) >>11371529, due to the default line spacing on my font (pally bold) being so bad (or at least not optimal, from my not having manually counted the minimum difference to ensure zero overlap yet), my options for typesetting were very limited. there are essentially two rows of paragraphs in that caption, and the last row is not ideal (for me) at all; in the second row (the 4th and 5th paragraphs), the 4th paragraph starts higher than the last paragraph of the first row (the 3rd paragraph). and the 5th paragraph is the biggest mistake, since its first character starts after the 3rd paragraph of the previous row, making a staircase, as if it's to be read next

>>11379351
Good point about the position of the text bubble breaking the flow, I wasn't happy with it being there anyway. Can move the image further up and make space to put it in the lower left instead. Thank you!

captionless version with dark spot under neck removed:
https://files.catbox.moe/fdhn4p.png

i've been doing small edits to gens for a while now, but stopped mentioning such (and linking the captionless version) after about the second time i did it, since they ranged in complexity (sometimes only covering a few pixels up with the surrounding background color); i just switched to silently linking them in my rentry. i was really surprised the first time i tried removing an extra digit (a sixth toe) in edit #53 >>11371213 and it looked really good, even though i didn't even try at all (compared to say, my first and only skin tone edit so far, where i redid it multiple times, saving each as their own group, then chose the best among them). it gave me the confidence to try harder with such edits. but pic related was the most complex i've done so far. it doesn't look like it, but this was several hours of work for me, across several days. the gen demanded it, because between the skin-colored spit bubble and the hair/shadow under her chin, it looked like she had a triangle goatee. i only even noticed after i started captioning it raw. i still don't understand how the "healing" tool works in gimp (despite watching several youtube tutorials on it on 2x speed), since it always just copies the wrong color (???), so i only used the "clone" tool and brushes at low hardness and force. i've never used my drawing tablet for anything but trying to draw smegma before, and i didn't bother plugging-in a mouse, so i just used my thinkpad's clit, and i struggled to do curved lines that looked okay. so that especially isn't perfect. but i think what i managed helps a lot, so i had to make an exception to mention it here. i also understand the importance of hardness/force and can perceive the nuance of colors a lot better now, so i think trying to edit-in smegma wouldn't be nearly as stressful anymore, so i plan to try it again soon

>>11380611
ran out of space, but it also occurred to me since my last edit that i could reduce the opacity of the "gaussian blur" "stroke" (outline) layers i do, since i feel two (2) is too dark, and my last edit made me feel that one (1) was too dull. but i dicked-around with it and found that even 120% blur (total, across two [2] layers) ended-up being borderline too dark on my 2nd-last edit, and maybe even still too dark on my last edit, albeit far less noticeable. i could barely notice the difference between 125% and 120% blur when i exported both as .pngs as tests, so i didn't think it was worth bothering trying to eye the perfect blur % between 100% and 120%, to standardize it across dark and light images alike. one (1) layer at 100% at my arbitrary "gaussian blur" "stroke" size (2.5x the "grow" size of the normal "stroke" layer is fine enough for me, even if it's a bit subtle on darker images like my last edit, so the text doesn't stand-out as much. but, again, standardizing it is a balance of considering light images, too. so the convenience of just doing one (1) layer makes me inclined to just not care past that. maybe i will one day bother to add a few % to it via another layer, or not bother standardizing it at all, instead doing it contextually per gen, but that would be so much more work, and i am very lazy and procrastinate about everything

>maybe i will one day bother to add a few % to it via another layer, or not bother standardizing it at all, instead doing it contextually per gen, but that would be so much more work, and i am very lazy and procrastinate about everything
i changed my mind already; i keep looking at (now my 2nd-last edit) and keep feeling that the text isn't bold enough. i will just do the "gaussian blur" "stroke" (outline) layers contextually from now on. don't know how bold i will make them yet, but standardization doesn't work for this. for normal "stroke" layers yes, but i don't want to fuck with that anymore

this caption made me realize that using different font sizes in the same text box potentially requires using different "stroke" (outline) sizes for them. i didn't realize that the first time i did that in edit #54 >>11371529, likely because since i did my "gaussian blur" "stroke" layers incorrectly- such that they were partially-obscured-, the difference in boldness wasn't as noticeable. but it was easy to deal with (even if tedious), since i only had to use "quick mask" and a brush with 100% hardness and force to deselect the text in the "alpha to selection" i didn't want selected. also, doing this caption made me finally standardize the gap between speech speech and the smaller-font speech below it, since the first attempt at the gap was way too tight, so i had to do my OCD measuring and rearranging from top to bottom after pulling the proportional gap from edit #65 >>11377740

>>11380893
unfortunately only had the thought to look up the difference between "transparent" and "translucent" after posting, and apparently the former means you can clearly see through it, and the latter means you can't clearly see through it. the latter suggests thicker precum, so i would've used that instead had i known

holy shit!!! the wayback machine (archive.org) just excluded catbox!!! so much shit just retroactively lost forever. the wayback machine was so much more convenient than archive.today at archiving catbox, since it actually saved full-res images from albums without having to do it manually, which no one did. so much media lost, as well, since no one even knows of archive.today, so so much stuff was ONLY archived on archive.org. i have to reformat my rentry, now, to switch to archive.today mirrors, if available... i last linked a wayback machine mirror on it as recently as four (4) days ago...

welp, i just took on another nightmare edit of doom. i honestly think my first attempt- which i never meant to be perfect; only to be an honest go at it- looks a lot better. i still have to look into the color saturation options the anon earlier put me onto, which i haven't even begun to look into because my laziness knows no bounds... sorry

idk if i can really be arsed to put time into edits like these, though. i just want to make coomer captions, and edits affording me the opportunity to confidently do such are really just a means to an end, for me, and not fulfilling in themselves, for me. i don't even link the captionless versions of my edits anymore for that reason, since i don't consider them noteworthy for their own merits. i guess if i manage this or the vampire skin tone edit in >>11376854 (which i've been dragging my feet about even putting time into anymore for something like a literal month now), i probably would link the captionless versions of them here, though. but none of this really matters, anyway, because realistically i will continue to drag my feet about ever finishing either of these edits, and instead just do images i can either caption raw, or quickly edit in order to caption them in the meantime... where "meantime" means slowly approaching forever without even ever picking-away at them again...

edit #80

i have officially RUN OUT (!) of gens to caption!!!!... at least, gens i'm most passionate about captioning, that i can either caption raw, or do a quick edit to to make them captionable. even picrel was kind of a struggle caption, since grins are too forward to spin as lowkey, which severely limits opportunity for casual and subversive dialogue, so i usually consider them "uncaptionable", but i managed to mostly diminish the forwardness of the expression thanks to the blush and casualness of the pic otherwise. i feel i fluked it

my personal tier list of stuff to caption is:
uncut pp > horsecock > knot > [power gap] > inverted nipples

... and that's kinda it. i have other preferences like fat girls and flat chests, but neither of them have to be cis girls to be such, and they kinda fall into the general concept-i-take-to-its-logical-conclusion thing as any other fetish i've done, so they only hold so much weight (no pun intended) on their own. i view inverted nipples as similar to phimosis pps, which i view as the most girly, so i view it as making the convo for my preference in girl pps

the only options i feel i have now are to caption cis girls primarily (the horror...), to work on the skin tone or smegma color change edits i've been procrastinating about (pain...), or edit in smegma myself- with zero drawing skill-, to afford me far more opportunity to caption what i'm most passionate about: pee and smegma. i did say >>11380611
>also understand the importance of hardness/force and can perceive the nuance of colors a lot better now, so i think trying to edit-in smegma wouldn't be nearly as stressful anymore, so i plan to try it again soon
... but my procrastination is the death of me. i can continue floundering around by captioning new gens posted in >>>/d/ddg for a second, but idk how i will ever reach even 100 captions as things are right now

this is gonna sound stupid, but i didn't realize i could literally just add color to selections via sliders n shit; i literally just clicked around under the "color" tab until i landed on this. i did reread anon's post from earlier on changing color, and i think i understand it, now, besides "HSL edit", which i am still procrastinating about looking into

i might change the color beyond how it is in picrel; i just wasn't sure whether the fingers should cast a shadow that desaturates the color of the wood, or anything, so i thought picrel was fine enough to just send it, but i realize now that i can dick around with it a lot more outside of the recording

>>11385684
No worries anon, don't burn yourself out.

>>11386086
o, thanks for the friendly reply, haha. but i'm not burn-out creativity-wise; it's just that, for example, even though i love girl pps most of all and have hella amounts of them saved, i don't really now how to spin them. like, take these from the same thread, by the same genner:
https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/71369153/#71380108
https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/71369153/#71380313
https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/71369153/#71381163

these are all great, to me; they are more than just naked 1girl; the first two are no panties flashing, and the third is far more casual than just flashing; it's stretching her leg, and her only coincidentally having a blatant erection that's leaking precum through the clothing. it's stuff like the third gen that inspires me most; when gens have layers of depth to them, so they really just write themselves in how the dialogue would play out. but i feel the third gen either isn't casual enough of a scenario for me to be just off-the-wall casual with it, or is too conventional of a scenario period, so it literally writes itself in a way everyone knows already. i guess it's both. i can't do anything with it that people wouldn't see coming a million miles away

these are just three random gens i picked; it's a similar story for most of them. i can look at any gen i captioned and tell you how i feel they uniquely afforded me opportunity to caption them, such as say, my last caption, where even though it was a struggle from the huge grin being forward- thus demanding forward dialogue to meet it-, it's still a casual enough scenario where you can spin it many different ways. gens can succeed in being immersive porn while failing to be casual, and i feel that a lot, now that i look at gens with new eyes (besides really stuff posted to twitter, since i'm scared to quote retweet any semi-large or smaller genner with the gratuitous fetish captions i make). but as i see more gens i'll see more opportunity to caption

>>11385684
in hindsight i think the black sclera and pale colors in this gen was the perfect opportunity to try inverting the text/stroke colors here, but it didn't occur to me until just now. i just did it on the 3rd paragraph as a test and am not sure it looks better, but it is better contrast for sure, so if it occurred to me before i probably would've done it. will keep an eye out for opportunities like this in the future

>>11385684
>>11386155
i went back and made inverted text/stroke (outline) versions of this caption:
https://files.catbox.moe/ajachp.png - 120% blur
https://files.catbox.moe/o1cc5n.png - 100% blur
https://files.catbox.moe/nmruo0.png - 80% blur

i didn't just make a definitive single version of it, because the original having 120% blur was specific to the contrast the non-inverted text demanded; having to change it when i realized i didn't even prefer the inverted colors anyway was effort i couldn't be arsed to do, so i just exported some alts instead. i didn't even do the inverted colors in a non-destructive way, so i just discarded them as unsaved changes instead. at least now i know i'm not in the business of doing inverted colors text/stroke (outline), since this was the perfect opportunity to do it, and i didn't prefer it

>>11386169
>since this was the perfect opportunity to do it, and i didn't prefer it
actually, i think i'm wrong. i think the last paragraph looks especially bad, because the blur stroke (outline) being white is basically invisible against her pale skin, so it looks like i just took some black text and slapped it on an image with no stroke (outline) to ensure contrast. so i think contrast should be determined by the stroke (outline) color, so for this gen, its pale colors goes well with the black stroke (outline)

i still don't think i'm going to dabble in inverted text/stroke colors, though. if anything my caption just before was the actual perfect opportunity to try inverted text/stroke colors, but i think it looks plenty aesthetic as is, so it didn't even occur to me to change it; it's just uniquely that pale gens and pale text is like a double flashbang, so i thought inverting the text/stroke colors would help, but personally i don't prefer it

>>11386032
in the end, even being able to add color, i couldn't manage to immersively make the color between the fingers much lighter than in the video, i guess because it's saturating such a dark grey. i managed to make it a little lighter, but that's all. thankfully i can kind of get away with it here, but in other circumstances i will need to learn more about changing the color of stuff to feel okay with how it ends up...

edit #82

learned many things with this edit. firstly, especially coming off of the last edit, i felt the warm colors in the last edit particularly complimented the stark white text + black stroke (outline) of my raw captions, so i wanted to use warm colors in the caption text, which obviously demanded not just defaulting to the pale text colors i've used exclusively until now, so that was worry, but the actual problem was that no matter what colors i chose, it looked bad. for the bee girl's text i sampled an orange/brown from the cave, to provide a color of rich honey. but i kept having to make it paler and paler to not clash with the cave color. i also made the stroke (outline) of the 4th and 5th paragraphs far bolder for extra contrast, finally shedding another ocd restraint i had of trying to standardize everything at the cost of contextually making things look better. but that only highlighted the elephant in the room i had yet to realize, of the black stroke (outline) severely hampering my efforts to add warm colors. so i somehow had a breakthrough, and tried making the stroke (outline) the honey color instead. it instantly worked. i literally didn't even change the girl's stroke (outline) color at all; it was simply what i was looking for, right away

i was worried that making the guy have a colored stroke (outline) would come off as queer, but it was simply the only option, so i went with it. i was worried at first that just paint bucket filling the "gaussian blur" stroke (outline) layer would be impure- having traces of the previous color-, but i tested it, and it didn't, so it wasn't any harder than changing the text color to get the guy's stroke (outline) color pale enough. i still have yet to learn a lick of color theory- due to procrastination-, but i'm glad i managed this, even so

>>11386642
>i also made the stroke (outline) of the 4th and 5th paragraphs far bolder for extra contrast, finally shedding another ocd restraint i had of trying to standardize everything at the cost of contextually making things look better
unfortunately i think i made them too bold. what happened was i just copied the boldness i'd tuned for the default black stroke (outline) i do. i didn't realize that the contrast between the text/stroke (outline) colors being poorer now means that the stronger the stroke, the worse the contrast, actually, since the background doesn't aid as much in providing contrast. i feel doing colored stroke (outline) was a unique case here, so i don't know when i will ever do it again, but still. duly noted for next time. as well, i could've tried changing the honey stroke (outline) color too, but it already works as is, so no need

... but actually, i just opened it in gimp and started playing around with the duplicated layer of "gaussian blur" stroke (outline) text for those paragraphs, and i don't think lowering the opacity makes it much better, because the pale colors in the background are just their own version of providing poor contrast. so i guess i should've just chosen a different stroke (outline) color instead. but i didn't notice those paragraphs being a problem until i slept on it. but i definitely do want the stroke (outline) to be bolder; it makes the text over the wings so much more legible. but it's a tough balance. i would've figured it out had this occurred to me when editing, though

>>11386986
idk if this is the type of thread where genners would take requests, haha. i figured if the gen were a vehicle for the caption then maybe, but i just copy pasted the OP from the original thread, and i guess it's more of a sequential storytelling thread than an OC thread period, so just a single gen without even multiple panels would have made the last OP disappoint. but i guess a genner might be more inclined to read your work and be inspired by it here than in say >>>/d/ddg , so maybe it makes more sense to shoot your shot here than there

and while i have opened >>11351094 ("Color and E/d/it Thread") before and seen that they have a deliveries anchor, they ONLY have a deliveries anchor, since the expected outcome for their thread is a deluge of requests, with scarce deliveries. this thread's default posts are expected to be unprovoked OC, with scarce requests, let alone deliveries. plus it's extra burden on the person delivering to anchor their delivery. i didn't think to provide one desu, but i'm not sure it's necessary

>i was worried at first that just paint bucket filling the "gaussian blur" stroke (outline) layer would be impure- having traces of the previous color-, but i tested it, and it didn't
this is NOT TRUE btw. while it's true that the test i did (checking paint bucket filling it would leave traces of the previous color) does NOT leave traces of the previous color, it is STILL IN FACT IMPURE!!!! i bothered making a 450 font size test to demonstrate, but i guess at larger font sizes the destructiveness of paint bucket filling stroke (outline) layers isn't as visible, so it was a waste of time. but here are exports of the unedited stroke (outline) layers vs. the paint bucket filled layers, and you can clearly see that the complexity of the gradient is NOT PRESERVED!!!!! i honestly thought i was going schizo when i found that my "gaussian blur" stroke (outline) percentage of choice for my last edit (and the current one i'm working on, which was what made me finally realize this) was too bold, but no; it's that changing the color turned virtually all gradient into being the boldest color. paint bucket filing existing stroke (outline) layers should only be treated as a test, since it a destructive edit- in it literally compromising the integrity of the stroke (outline) layer- and should therefore not reach the finished product

edit #83

i think i'll pick up coloring the stroke (outline) layers of the text to match who's speaking from now on, albeit using a much darker color than i did in my last edit, since the purpose is no longer to provide warm color to a gen devoid of such. i honestly would've gone with a darker color for this edit still, but i got tired of trying to distinguish between imperceptible color differences at any reasonable viewing distance, so i just sent it at a certain point, and will probably do the same for every edit following. also, when i said >>11387234
>i honestly thought i was going schizo when i found that my "gaussian blur" stroke (outline) percentage of choice for my last edit[...] was too bold, but no; it's that changing the color turned virtually all gradient into being the boldest color
while paint bucket filling "alpha to selection" layers does indeed destroy the gradients of them, in my last edit i actually bothered redoing the normal stroke (outline) layers plus the "gaussian blur" stroke (outline) layers, so since for the bee girl's dialogue i never changed her stroke (outline) colors, the gradient on it was never compromised; it actually /was/ simply that changing the color provided different contrast, so i needed to reduce the opacity of the "gaussian blur" stroke (outline) layers to compensate. since i paint bucket filled the male speech in that edit, however, his was indeed compromised

i put more time into this because desu i thought my first attempt already looked really good, so i thought if i tried harder that i could manage it, but i think it actually looks worse, now. i think the idea of trying to select only the dark parts specifically is a lost cause when the boundaries between what is light or dark smegma is so vague; i think i'm better off just literally selecting all the smegma indiscriminately and changing the color that way, as my first attempt coincidentally more or less was. but i've exhausted the willpower i had to put time into this today, so next time inspiration strikes me i'll probably just make a caption requiring minor editing- if any at all- to unwind

desu i don't even know when i would've next put time into this edit- let alone the vampire blood fellatio skin tone edit-, but /ddg/ (the ai thread i get most of my edits from) had someone complain about the board being unprecedentedly slow as of late, which caused /ddg/ to linger on page 10 with genners holding back their edits, making the low traffic even worse >>11387236. then a few genners collectively flooded the thread for the remaining few dozen images to get it to image limit to make the new thread without anyone complaining about it being made "early". i saw several gens in that image dump that i'd like to caption, when prior to such i felt i had literally run out of images to caption unless i compromised and looked for cis girls to caption. so with the increased opportunity to procrastinate, i felt i should at least try to stop procrastinating, in some way. i did at least try... will hopefully try again soon

also, when i said >>11387350
>while paint bucket filling "alpha to selection" layers does indeed destroy the gradients of them
i meant doing so TWICE; not just once. i don't know of a way to do stroke (outline) without "alpha to selection" anyway, so i'm glad the first paint bucket fill seems very high integrity. too bad any following ones are not

>>11377026
just saw this character in the wild again and learned she's not an OC, and learned her name ("uzawa reisa" from "blue archive"). now my tweet of this on my 0-follower account didn't mention her name when it should have. for shame. i thought i looked at the metadata and didn't see a character name, but i just looked at it again, and it's right there. i definitely just skimmed it, and missed it cause it was the first tag after the "BREAK", at the start of the line. feels bad. if it didn't have metadata i'd have tried plugging tags into boorus to see if a character fits the description like i usually do. will try to be better about this. doesn't super matter (again, 0-follower account), but i am OCD, so sucks to've just not called her by her name when i could have. will retroactively add her name to my rentry, anyway

it's not perfect, but i'm probably just gonna send it, at this point. the stray unintended selected pixels from using a brush with low force/hardness, i don't know how to do anything about it, since i can't see them in the selection. i'm sure i could go in gimp settings and change selection settings to show me them, but going in settings every edit seems like a huge pain in the arse. i guess i could just keep it on, but that seems annoying. the only way i can think of to not have this happen in the first place is to select with the free select tool instead, then take a low force/hardness brush to it on a second pass, but that is so much work, when edits like these aren't the fun part of editing, to me; captions are; i just do these edits because i have to, depending on the gen. but maybe for future edits i'll do the two-pass strat. at least i'm learning

>>11388309
wow, thank you!!!! it's my biggest kink, too!!! except i guess i might technically like girl pee and smegma more, but i'm much less creative and graphic with that, since i don't like girls using their dicks, haha. i was going out of my way to not plug my rentry and catbox album so far, since i especially didn't want to just do so right after creating the thread, but here's my rentry, if you haven't seen it, where i add a pee or smegma warning to anything where the caption references such:
https://rentry.co/ambihurts
https://catbox.moe/c/7vd589

i think any smegma captions are ALWAYS guy smegma, actually, lmao. i don't really have opportunity to do anything creative with girl smegma, since i don't like girls using their dicks. but pee might be either guy or girl pee (or both). and only my next edit will be changing the color of the smegma, haha. and it's girl smegma, and will probably be the first caption i make about girl smegma. but i am hoping to surely one day try drawing in smegma myself. i've been procrastinating about it a lot (a LOT...). the last time i tried drawing smegma was edits 10 and 12, which were both girl smegma, and i didn't understand brush hardness/force at all, so i just used 100 on both, and it was not good. i think i can do it better, now, but i keep procrastinating about trying... i even have a drawing tablet to do it, too, even though i have zero (0) drawing skill. all i need to do is try. but, idk when i will... sorry

there's also the anon in the OP- ConCor- who CAN and DOES actually draw smegma, though only on girls, from what i've seen. their links are in the link in the OP, but here it is for convenience, anyway:

i couldn't figure out how to increase the visible selection threshold in gimp settings, so i just made a layer of the blown-out, flattened "curves" effect and toggled it on and off with "quick mask" on, to see where i had to apply a 100 hardness and force brush to. i couldn't be bothered to actually do it perfectly, since i wasn't trying to go all the way up against the selection, and have to redo it with a low hardness and force brush, so it still isn't perfect, but i did what i could, at least

also, gimp has a lot of quirks about it i've had to learn to compensate for, but this edit made me come across the most fucked up one so far, in that if you have a selection active when exporting, it FLATTENS any color effects you've done to anything done to a selection, making it pitch black. it looked really unsettling. do not recommend

https://files.catbox.moe/4uggtw.png

this wasn't the most demanding edit i've done- that still goes to edit #69 >>11380611-, but it /was/ the one where i had to edit the most things. again, i've stopped linking the captionless versions of my edits a long time ago- since edits like these just take time for me, now, and aren't stressful to me anymore, nor do i learn anything new doing them-, but i will make an exception for this, since i'm talking about it. i removed the horizontal line in the inverted nipples, removed the extra line near the bottom edge of her teeth, removed the eyelids that are too high to be eyelids, and removed the watermark bottom left. but unfortunately the watermark was the last thing i did, which i didn't even notice until i thought i was done with the editing, but i was at a complete loss about how to deal with it, since until now i've only been using the clone tool, or outright drawing in the edits myself, with zero drawing skill. i didn't understand how the healing tool worked despite having watched multiple videos on it, so i watched a video on it on 2x speed by a guy i watched a curves tool video on:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VcthL001Uc

and he ACTUALLY taught me how the healing tool worked. i understand literally everything about it now. it trivialized removing the watermark that i had no idea how to remove, and would've trivialized doing the gradient when removing the pseudo-double eyebrows, which i really struggled with drawing in manually, and was why i didn't even try drawing over the watermark myself, since it was covered in fog. i literally laughed out loud when i removed it with the healing tool, since it was so easy, and i'm not sure whether it was a happy laugh, or from finding it absurd how i'd painstakingly drawn in shit i didn't have to prior. at least now i know

i realized this edit that using "colorize" in gimp doesn't destroy gradients like paint bucket filling an "alpha to selection" layer twice does, and it has instant previews without committing to any color, so it is far more convenient than paint bucket filling twice, anyway. the only thing about it is that using it doesn't add the color you choose to your "color history", so if you don't manually add it, you might find yourself absentmindedly, tediously changing the color of everything to match what you chose, only to find that you did it with the wrong color, but didn't notice because you're dealing with imperceptible color differences

i already learned the following >>11386032, but i guess i forgot about it and had to have a schizo moment as i realized it again when making this edit, but the "colorize" tool in gimp is merely saturating the existing color with your chosen color; it is not a true replacement for- in my conventional use case- remaking my stroke (outline) layers when i want to change their color. so it is a handy tool to change colors to some extent, but since you're estimating how much you have to saturate it by to shift the color by the slightest bit you're looking for (in my OCD use case), it's a bit of an unpleasant experience

edit #89

had lots of trouble with this edit. even the caption was hard to manage, but i've had to dig deep for captions before, so it's nothing new. but since i'm complaining anyway, i may as well say how it was the case here. i hate narcissistic tops; i think tops should be caricatures of masculinity in every case. so right off the bat, the gen being extremely NTR-coded (consenting to the guy next to her; being stern towards the viewer) was the exact opposite of what i wanted, but i really liked the guy's body, so i forced the caption anyway. i literally spent hours stressing about finding even a single possible way to caption it

as well, the guy's arm behind her is clearly the ai giving him slenderman arms; it's very clearly his elbow at his WAIST. but his bicep isn't tilted away at all- to at all suggest his elbow pointing behind him-, so i couldn't just reduce the shadow to make it look like his forearm. i left it as is, since i can still cope that since he's strongfat, he might just have buff forearms, even though his hand should be visible if it were his forearm

but the biggest thing is that the guy's schizo ai facial hair is a disaster. i spent probably close to two (2) hours fucking with it across seven (7) drafts of different methods before giving up on it. i thought the healing tool in gimp was magic- since it was so zero-effort to cover the watermark the first time i tried using it >>11390697-, but little did i know that i am at the mercy of the healing source. the art style being so jpeggy (and the gen being a jpeg, anyway, despite being 1024x1024 [literally the smollest res- and thus file- size conventionally possible]) on top of the complex gradients just made it FUBAR. even when upscaling it 2x in waifu2x i had to use NO noise reduction, because otherwise it compromised the art style, which is inherently noisy. so i just sent it as is

>muscle drain comic pov where the girl drains all my muscles for herself, emasculates and belittles me, destroys my ego and confidence, ill be weak forever, no girl would date a guy with no muscle, etc. Make her horny for her muscle growth
>a muscle worship pov with the girl worshipping my entire muscular physique. Heavy detail, heavy muscle fetish from the girl, cumming just from my immense muscularity

Thank you

thanks anon, haha. sorry; i've been really stressing about doing the second of anon's request ever since he dropped it. i was gonna summarize it in the delivery (whenever that'd be), but since i have the opportunity to do so now, i may as well blogpost about it

first of all, i only edit ai art, because i consider genners more approachable than real artists (personal constrain). but the first problem was that passionate expressions in gens apparently DOESN'T EXIST. no exceptions!!! so i spent three (3) days looking or such a gen, even requesting it on /e/'s ai thread >>>/e/3011160 before giving up on receiving it, but before actually just forcing the caption into a gen without such an expression, i meekly requested the gen in /d/'s ai thread, and two regulars familiar with me there delivered (yay), but most importantly for this blog post, a genner unfamiliar with me delivered- after constantly changing their MANY deliveries MULTIPLE times in an attempt to pacify my nitpicking feedback asking for a more passionate expression-, but unfortunately, i unknowingly called it early, because i thought their delivery had the passion i was looking for, but only realized when i went to caption it (after 24h, for no reason but my own laziness) that the girl's expression is constrained, so it's hard to caption as passionate. you can see the gens here >>11396733, and here's the specific one i think i've settled on captioning (archive link for when the litterbox link expires in three [3] days):

http://archive.today/2025.10.15-131055/https://litter.catbox.moe/yk78bx7nl71o6vpq.png

this is by far the most i've ever stressed about captioning an image. the problem is that because her wavy smile is her literally holding back her smile, i need the guy to either be approaching her, or standing there not noticing her, and she's drooling over him. (cont.)

>>11398336
>>11398356
{cont.) but i couldn't make the guy approach her using his muscles to get in her pants, because that'd be super tryhard and cringe. and the girl not speaking (because she can't, since she's holding back her smile) would make the guy approaching seem super rapey, which i love rape a lot, but it's just baggage making the caption impure. and the guy just standing there not noticing isn't really an option, either, because she's literally facing him with her entire body, looking right at him. i looked at the other options from the delivery (specifically the last post, since they are the only ones with the worried eyebrows, which i feel help a lot to capture the expression), and the first is pretty great, too, but the camera angle being lower in a way i don't know how to spin means idk how to work with it. 2nd shares the same problem. 4th and 6th (last) are clearly in private, so i feel it'd more demand dialogue acknowledging the inevitable intimacy, thus diminishing the opportunity to perv on the guy's muscles (the point of the caption)

i think i lost my point at the end there going on about the other options, but i don't want to let anon's effort genning this for me go to waste, but i also haven't even written a single word to caption it yet after nearly 30h since i actually started trying to. i'm gonna caption the deliveries from the two /ddg/ regulars who helped me out cause they're familiar with me, too, but their expressions don't have the mouth holding back the smile, so it writes itself; i just didn't want to do them first, since the genner who wasn't familiar with me delivered for me first, so i didn't want to exhaust my creativity on the request and have to do it with a twist, and i didn't want to have it on my conscience to do it last as an afterthought, anyway. but this has me fucked up, for real. but i'm trying... mostly thingken... had more to say, but two max-character posts is probably enough

>>11398358
>and the guy just standing there not noticing isn't really an option, either, because she's literally facing him with her entire body, looking right at him.
well, i've been rereading my posts (and noticing the several grammatical errors in them...), but in rereading this a few times and looking back at the gens and stuff, i think i can actually spin it as if the guy is unbothered by the girl's blatant need, implicitly because he gets girls losing their panties over him all the time. so the girl can be shamelessly taking in the sight of him, and the guy could be looking right at her, but simply not care. i think that is the way i'll do it, but i've already gotten into the habit of being lazy, so i might not just crank it out right away (that was my logic for waiting 24 [!] hours to even begin captioning it, since i'd gotten into the habit of only dropping a caption once every other day rather than once a day)... sorry. but i think (hope) i can, now, without much issue, nor feeling i'm forcing the caption

also, i noticed i forgot to mention the following, but the girl's speech would be internal dialogue, because it must, since with her mouth holding back a smile, she is unable to speak. i definitely just forgot to say so earlier in the post, but i definitely would've mentioned it at the end had i had enough space to include that unfortunately after 12h of trying to caption the gen, i felt so confident in understanding the dialogue the expression demanded that i responded to the genner saying their delivery was "enough" >>11397980, and sure, it IS enough; but i thought my stress was behind me, but it wasn't!!! my post really came off as "the gen just demands internal dialogue, which is fine", but i only realized a ways after submitting it that i was NOT that confident about things; my brain was working overtime trying to find a breakthrough that would ACTUALLY allow me to write even a single word of the caption for it. pain. but, i got there, i think (hope)

This is the muscle worship/drain requester anon responding. I didn’t know that this type of stuff was this difficult, and I very much appreciate the effort you’re putting into with my request. Muscle is just such an obsession of mine, I get you said it’s try hardy in one of the posts but I love it. Why not try hardy, like you’re doing now lol

Anyway, very much appreciated. Sorry if it’s stressful.

>>11399127
you're good, haha. it's not stressful at all once i got the pic for it!!! i would've had the first finished by now (with two more on the way), but i literally finished typesetting it and was ready to add the finishing touches (just the stroke [outline]) to make the text actually look good, but i somehow only then realized that i calculated my standardized font size as 42 rather than 35, so i had to typeset it again. since it's been so long since i've posted a caption i'll post them one at a time, probably, or the second genner to provide me pics provided a ton, so i might do several of their images and post a batch of a few of that (maybe 2-4), then the last genner's separately
>Muscle is just such an obsession of mine, I get you said it’s try hardy in one of the posts but I love it. Why not try hardy, like you’re doing now lol
i didn't mean to say muscle is tryhard, sorry!!! i meant using your muscles to pull women comes off to me as narcissistic, which i don't personally like in guys, cause i prefer guys to be caricatures of masculinity: stoic, virile, dominant. but knowing you like otherwise, i can indulge you, haha. i would still kinda cringe at a guy straight-up approaching a girl and using his muscle to pull her, but something where the guy is purposely leaning into the fact that he's muscular, i got you

>>11399131
No offense taken! I get what you’re saying. Being in a loving relationship is so much more than superficiality. But my porn brain requires those base primal needs, and as a bodybuilder I’m disgusted by how little straight muscle worship porn there is.

Is it too much to ask to be used for my body lol

>>11399149
i don't think you understood my gripe, sorry; it's not that muscle worship at all demands narcissism- since such could be done exclusively on the part of the girl, without any reaction from the guy at all-; it's that a guy unprovoked using his muscles to attract a girl isn't the lowkey vibe i conventionally wish for guys to conform to. but knowing you like it, i can do something with it still, without it coming off as johnny bravo, basically

>>11399152
Oh ok, sorry! Now I get what you’re saying lol

Man I wish I can draw. All thisbart is incredible

>>11399160
the only people who've posted any drawn art ITT it the tummy growl guy >>11377679 and this anon >>11377782, haha. the rest is ai

>>11399162
Oh lolol. Im dumb sorry

request #7 >>11394693
>>a muscle worship pov with the girl worshipping my entire muscular physique. Heavy detail, heavy muscle fetish from the girl, cumming just from my immense muscularity

i explained how my hands were tied with this caption across my (enormous) yapfest blog posts a second ago, but to say it again anyway, i could only make the muscle lust so highkey, because the expression (the mouth specifically) was constrained, which i didn't realize until it was too late to ask for an amendment to the gen. i plan to caption others for this request later, which will be much more forward and unrestrained

>>11399198
Thank you for the first one. I appreciate it very much. Excited to see what comes next. Thank you!

request #7.2 >>11394693
>>a muscle worship pov with the girl worshipping my entire muscular physique. Heavy detail, heavy muscle fetish from the girl, cumming just from my immense muscularity

sorry; i could've finished these captions much quicker, but for the first some 24 hours, while i wouldn't say i was panicking, i definitely realized partway into the first caption that i knew nothing about the actual properties of muscle. like, even wikipedia describes chest muscles (pecs) as "fan-shaped". i literally don't even have the slightest knowledge of the shapes muscles make to even flirt with such dialogue, let alone anything actually advanced like where they connect, their layering, their constituent parts, the process of stressing them to make them grow back stronger... i basically just wallowed in my ignorance in futility until i gave up on being anatomically detailed, to instead just take the concept of a body part to its logical extreme... it's the only way i could even finish the first caption, but once i started doing it, the rest was easy. but, yeah; someone more educated on the human body would be able to deliver proper detail; i can only do prose... sorry

the pale backgrounds also made me have another breakthrough, in that i added the slightest pale color to the text color, so that the text wasn't just a flashbang on a flashbang. i think it helps to draw attention to the text naturally, too, since it is easier to look at than the pale backgrounds. i don't know yet whether i will be standardizing this following, but for this batch of gens, i think it helps

there are two (2) other gens in the batch that caught my eye, and i already have an idea for one, but this thread was on page 10 already, so i quickly finished this to get these out so far!!

>>a muscle worship pov with the girl worshipping my entire muscular physique. Heavy detail, heavy muscle fetish from the girl, cumming just from my immense muscularity

here i kind of had to break my silent rule (i only eventually picked up) of not overlapping the text on tits. but i literally typesetted it with the paragraphs on the opposite side of the image horizontally, and the real estate i had to work with in the end was much worse, so the first typesetting attempt was the best of the two

>>a muscle worship pov with the girl worshipping my entire muscular physique. Heavy detail, heavy muscle fetish from the girl, cumming just from my immense muscularity

sorry; the pace at which i've been getting through this batch has been really embarrassing!!! i don't mean to just do my (now) usual caption-every-other-day pace for a batch of gens, even though it's what i just ended up doing!!! sorry!!! this time it's because i've hit another wall yet, in that where i worked around the first wall by realizing that even if i know nothing about muscles, i could still sexualize them conceptually, picrel was supposed to be a bicep fetishism caption, but i had NO (!) ideas for how to fetishize biceps at all!!! i essentially only gestured towards the idea of the arms being muscular... sorry. the next caption (the last of this batch) might be more of the same, but hopefully i won't take two days to do it, like this one. then there's one more by a different genner i'll caption for the request before exhausting the media for it, and just defaulting to my usual, which i think i've started absentmindedly using dickgirl and cis girl images on and off, so i'll probably keep doing that (provided i'm uniquely inspired to caption a cis girl, since i don't even really like cis girls for their own merits), so the first caption i default to will be a dickgirl, whenever my slow pace will get me there

I could probably write more specifically what I look for in muscle worship, but I enjoy what you’ve been able to do with it, especially the rapey vibe caption

>>11402745
ah, sorry; the rape one was actually a super gratuitous one on my part, because i was unable to conceptually sexualize biceps like i intended, so the entire caption is basically just sexist filler, sorry. but i'm glad you like it anyway, haha. but please do tell me what you were looking for. i know your original request phrased that the girls were explicitly cumming from observing your muscle, but i didn't naturally ever find myself afforded the opportunity to do that dialogue, so i guess objectively anything i've done so far has fallen short

of the batch of images i'm still on, you can probably tell that in my last caption, the expression isn't as passionate as the previous ones, and that reflects in the caption being far more composed. the next (and last) of the batch was going to be the same, because of the more passionate gens in the set, i didn't feel uniquely inspired by any of them as i did the first three of the batch. the gen by another genner i was going to caption after the next (and last) of the batch is this one >>11396787
>https://files.catbox.moe/dznkz9.png
and it's honestly much more falling-in-love or fangirling than /just/ passionate, which i think affords opportunity to be much more visceral (and less composed/ more stream of consciousness) with the dialogue, so i can probably manage to spin that one as outright cumming, but if there's anything else you were hoping for, then by all means do put me onto it, because the opportunity to caption passionate expressions is literally zero (0) outside of the gens i requested and graciously was given specifically for your request, so it's basically speak now or forever hold your peace

>>11402745
well, it's definitely a good thing you told me i was missing the mark on your request, but using the limited time you have to only vaguely say so without elaborating definitely kills my motivation to continue taking what i now know are shots in the dark at properly fulfilling your request. i might just move on from the passionate expression batch of gens the genner made for me and just default to whatever i'd caption unprovoked, at this point, maybe saving the "falling-in-love/ fangirling" gen for a rainy day, because it's even more passionate than the set of gens the i've been captioning so far, so it'd be a waste to just knowingly take a shot in the dark on it. the rape caption i made was the least muscle fetish-like of all of them, so it being your fav suggests that you meant masculinity, not muscle fetishism, which i do all the time regardless of the request, because i like traditional gender roles. it was also an expression i couldn't even spin as passionate, and the caption would've worked on just any lowkey expression, which defeated the purpose of the set of gens and how rare the expression they were going for is, anyway. so, yeah; today was a lazy day for me, anyway, but, again, it'd be a waste, i think, to just knowingly continue missing the mark at this point, so until you elaborate on what you were actually looking for, i won't do any more, i guess. i don't mean for this to be providing negative incentive for you telling me i missed the mark at all; it's you doing so without elaborating on how i could do better that produced this outcome, for now. sorry

>>11402747
>>11403283
No, I meant muscle fetishism lol. I never said anything disparaging about your work, I think you’ve done a good job, and came at it from an angle that isn’t traditional to my viewing. I’m not on the thread every day, as I’ve got a busy schedule. So I apologize if absence is taken for disinterest or ridicule. Do you have a discord?

>>11403327
i have a discord, but i don't really think it's worth taking this to discord, sorry. i'm kind of running out of ways to fulfill your request, because my last attempt at doing so already was so light it was basically nothing

but even if you say you meant muscle fetishism, i'm not understanding how my last caption is your fav. but that isn't the main thing, anyway; the main thing is you saying >>11402745
>I could probably write more specifically what I look for in muscle worship, but I enjoy what you’ve been able to do with it
you did not elaborate. idk why you still haven't elaborated. do you not want to? my entire second post was just explaining the note you left me on. i'm glad you appreciate what i've done so far, but i thought the way you phrased your request was the full picture. you've now told me i don't have the full picture. again, i'm glad my deliveries so far weren't completely forfeit, but at this point this is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone, sorry. is you elaborating private, or something

>>11403333
You’ve already fulfilled my requests 5x over, you made a bunch of captions for the same concept, and I appreciate that. I’ve honestly been pleasantly surprised you were so dedicated to make more than one caption, and again, I appreciate that.

The rape one was my favorite because it felt more slutty and, honestly, I could feel more passion with it, probably because you’ve described your previous enjoyment of the fetish and it’s a more natural right for you. In a similar vein, me writing prose for muscle worship captions would come off much more naturally. I’m a writer, I’ve written full length stories to the internet about muscle growth/worship/draining, etc. I’m just a lazy fuck who’d rather see someone else’s take on my fetish.

I asked for your discord because I appreciated the dedication, rather than elaborating in private. Yes, probably future conversations on it, but nothing about this.

Regardless, it’s no matter. And i don’t think it’s that hard to write muscle fetish stuff, like most other fetishes. I already kind of didn’t want to ask you to do specific stuff because you called some aspects of it try hardy, which to me, it will be. And with that, I just wanted to see your own take on it.

Stuff like, “holy shit, you’re so big. I love your muscles. Your biceps are gigantic. Your forearms are bigger than my thighs. I could lick those abs all day. I want you to break by back with those arms. Dominate me” etc. yada yada, same old shit. Just complete lust for muscles and dominance, expanded of course but you know.

>>11403378
>Yes, probably future conversations on it, but nothing about this.
i don't really get what this means, sorry. you just wanted my discord to talk about unrelated stuff? well i guess that's fine, but i struggle with managing my time and procrastinate a lot, and i'm pretty unfamiliar with just talking to people, so idk what you're expecting. i'm not necessarily against it, but i don't get what the point of it would be
>I already kind of didn’t want to ask you to do specific stuff because you called some aspects of it try hardy, which to me, it will be. And with that, I just wanted to see your own take on it.
well, again, it's just the "johnny bravo" angle of the guy unprovoked flexing his muscles that i would struggle to entertain, sorry; it's just not my style. with the ones i did, it's the girl unprovoked lusting over the guy, so i could manage it. i did say i could try meeting you halfway on the "johnny bravo" angle knowing you like it, but i didn't feel the opportunity for it arose with the batch of gens i did. with the one by the other genner i haven't done yet, i could consciously try to have some input by the guy, but idk if i can manage unprovoked even still
>Stuff like, “holy shit, you’re so big. I love your muscles. Your biceps are gigantic. Your forearms are bigger than my thighs. I could lick those abs all day. I want you to break by back with those arms. Dominate me” etc. yada yada, same old shit. Just complete lust for muscles and dominance, expanded of course but you know.
well, i don't identify as a writer, i can probably count the amount of books i've read on one (1) hand, and i've barely read any fanfiction or erotica, but even though i consider myself a verbose caption maker, the amount of words afforded in any caption is actually extremely limiting or me; i can't imagine doing justice to so many body parts in a single caption, so i tried to dedicate each caption to a single one. but even in that, when it came to biceps, i managed nothing

>>11403378
i guess i lost my own point formatting my last post, because the character limit was constraining for me, having quoted so much of your post in it. but i guess in it i failed to say, i do not understand how your quote of:
>Stuff like, “holy shit, you’re so big. I love your muscles. Your biceps are gigantic. Your forearms are bigger than my thighs. I could lick those abs all day. I want you to break by back with those arms. Dominate me” etc. yada yada, same old shit. Just complete lust for muscles and dominance, expanded of course but you know.
is meaningfully distinct from anything i've done on the subject matter so far. just many different muscles being mentioned in the same scenario? when you ended that with
>expanded of course but you know.
i assume you mean with added detail. but- again-, i can't do that while being verbose, since there are only so many words afforded to me in any given caption, so i had to split up each body part into its own caption. i only managed to do it with forearms and chest, but failed to do the same with forearms, which ended up being your favorite, for a reason i also don't understand, even though you just elaborated on why. because it was "slutty"? well, rape is a conventionally sexual topic, so i feel it is afforded more explicitly sexual dialogue. with the chest one, since i referenced feeling one's heartbeat through it, i drew parallels between that and erections being engorged with blood, but that is as conventionally sexual as muscle gets. i've never consciously thought of muscle myself before now, so if there is a more conventionally sexual way to do muscle, you will have to spell it out for me

otherwise, you suggest that because i like rape that the rape caption came more naturally to me. well, i don't mean to be put you on the spot, but it does feel like a backhanded compliment, since it's implicitly saying that the muscle words i produced before weren't as natural. you have to spell out how they weren't. sorry

>>11403390
>i only managed to do it with forearms and chest, but failed to do the same with forearms,
>same with forearms
>forearms
biceps*
>well, i don't mean to be put you on the spot
i originally phrased this as "be rude", but failed to delete the "be" from it. my fault

I wish you all the best. I think we’re failing to create an equal wavelength of understanding and it’s hindering the conversation. I’m very appreciative of all the work you’ve given me, especially giving your time and dedication to it. From a content standpoint, I think I’m forcing you to create something you don’t understand, and that’s unfair to you. You’re not being rude, and you don’t need to apologize. You’ve done a great service, and I’ll forever enjoy it. Thank you.

>>11403453
well, i'm glad you don't think i was being mean, because i do believe i can honestly say i was just trying to extract information from you. but i do believe i have not received such, despite my efforts. i would like to repeat my phrasing of >>11403333
>but at this point this is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone, sorry. is you elaborating private, or something
i was already at my wit's end when i wrote this. look at it from my perspective: your time is extremely limited, so even when i responded to your one-sentence original feedback with a near max-character reply in less than 15 minutes, you were unable to reply to me for another 23 hours. i said over and over in no uncertain terms- across two (2) replies, the first made in <15m and the second made after 21 hours- that your feedback only succeeded in giving me doubts and nothing else. my second reply literally said explicitly that i cannot rationally even attempt a delivery anymore with these doubts, so you NEED to elaborate in order to receive another delivery

following this, in replying to me 23 hours after your original reply, you STILL make NO ATTEMPT TO ELABORATE, despite my explicit pleas across two (2) replies, the second being a double reply telling you MUST elaborate, or else i cannot continue. so right away, if i were not there to continue trying to squeeze blood from the stone that is you, it realistically would've been another 24 hours of dead time, by your design, despite my- again- explicit pleas for otherwise

then, finally, and even on the same night, you replied with CONTEXT, FOR THE FIRST TIME. but, to me, it only raises even more questions, and answers literally nothing. i explicitly ask you >>11403390
>i do not understand how your quote of [quote] is meaningfully distinct from anything i've done on the subject matter so far. just many different muscles being mentioned in the same scenario?
you REFUSE TO ANSWER, now LEAVING FOREVER. let alone implying i delivered unnaturally

>>11403453
>>11403511
i ran out of space in my last post. but, yeah; i am just moving on at this point, then. again, i will repeat for the third time: this has been like trying to squeeze blood from a stone

i do understand that you explicitly expressed apprehension about what you were specifically looking for, literally saying >>11403378
>I already kind of didn’t want to ask you to do specific stuff because you called some aspects of it try hardy, which to me, it will be. And with that, I just wanted to see your own take on it.
but subject matter you think is my limit is different from you seemingly making it your life's goal to ONLY VAGUELY GESTURE TOWARDS MY MISSING CONTEXT, then REFUSE TO RECONCILE MY DOUBT FOLLOWING. it was just extremely tiring. as i have been saying repeatedly in no uncertain terms, i did NOT find your feedback sufficient. sorry. again, you only gave me doubts as to whether i was meeting your expectations properly. never reconciled. not to me

>>11403517
>i do understand that you explicitly expressed apprehension about what you were specifically looking for

Actual genner here, you'd probably have more luck on /ddg/ or /slop/ on /trash/. I also checked around and unfortunately while that doujin is peak there seems to be no support for the artist's style anywhere (no pics on booru and no lora either).

I got this doujin idea for a giantess who has a petite short figure. She is depressed because she wants to be treated like a petite girl but thats literally impossible. She reveals to the guy shes with that her life is depressing because she just wants to be thrown around and dominated but she can't because shes a giantess. The guy does the typical anime protagonist thing and steps up the plate and starts abusing her and beating up her clit. She is reluctant at first but starts getting into it, she gets so into it that when she cums she forgets hes there and closes her legs which crushes him. Then she goes not again and picks up her phone to call someone

with this one my hands were tied with the typesetting options- even though i originally thought "not having to standardize paragraph spacing!!! fuck yeah!!!"-, so i'm not entirely satisfied with it, but i did what i could. but the actual reason i'm saying anything at all here is because above her right ear, the original has some ai schizo shit going on. at first i only tried to select and change the color of the skin-colored blotch of color, but i found that trying to match it with lighter blotch below it looked bad (and i simply didn't realize until then that the lighter blotch even looked bad in itself since it's relatively small), so i ended up selecting the lighter blotch and trying to match them both with the light blue of her hair. but i quickly realized that without any texture, changing their color was FUBAR. i was going to just send it as is, but then i realized that i was afforded the unique contextual opportunity to just drench it in black, so that's exactly what i did. i actually sampled some dark around the area for it, then took the healing tool to it to add some noise. it turned out okay. i didn't try that hard with it, so it's just good enough, for me

another thing i learned with that selecting-and-colorizing trial-and-error was that it's not enough to only flatten the color curve of a selection to white to spot stray pixels; you have to flatten it to black, too. even if it's counter-intuitive, when i first decided on trying to fill the matte color blotches with black, i tried colorizing the selections, and found that what i thought were pretty great selections were actually extremely bad when used for dark color. it's just because the unselected pixels on the border are way more visible when they differ. doing selections well is up there with drawing smegma as being stuff i hate doing, but it's a nice option to know you have
