You know, due to how long Frankie has been popular online her fanon interpretation has strayed pretty far from her actual in-canon personality. So I gotta ask: what's your opinion on this, /co/? Do you like the fanon version of Frankie, or are you more of an original recipe kinda guy?
>>

Every popular /co/ girl is a fanon interpretation.

Duh, even if you wrote the most on character interpretation of the character, used the most on model art and had people from the actual source material praise your work, it's still fanon unless the author makes it canon retroactively.

What you really want to say is Out of Character

If you don't like reality, just reject it and substitute it with your own. You're not delusional if you say you're not delusional. You have to dig your heels in and refuse to be wrong about anything ever. Loudly insist that reality is being wrong. You need to be willing to torture yourself to death before you admit that you're wrong.

>>150934625
I never really enjoyed the cartoon. It always seemed like it was on the verge of being interesting, if the lore or characters went a little deeper. However, the Imaginary Frankie comic is so absurdly hot it trumps everything else, to the point that even /co/ Frankie only exists to contextualize Imaginary Frankie for me.
>>
>>150934625
I haven't seen much Frankie porn recently, so I don't know how she's characterized. Is she just written as a generic tomboy slut or something? If so, just blame that on flavor-of-the-week Twitterfag artists who'll just draw anyone to make money. You can't do anything about it, but you can laugh at what hacks they are, and ridicule them in your head for being stupid.

She hasn't degenerated more that other characters like any cartoon milf ever for example, True degeneration can be seen in characters like Pacifica Nortwest or Gaz.

>>150937671
She just screams "early 20s millennial babysitter who you develop a crush on". I used to read Calvin and Hobbes a lot, and Rosalyn was the same kind of thing, but for Gen X'ers.
She's everything you think a teenager/college student is when you're a dumb child, all the taboo kissy-kissy stuff included You want her to let you in on that life because she's chill and it feels like she sees you as an equal. It's Misato for Westerners.

I think this is actually a big reason why Imaginary Frankie blew up in the last 5 years. Those comics are from decades ago and have been online for just as long, but there was very, very little content featuring her until recently. And it coincides with the point where Frankie's fanon interpretation was really overtaking how she actually acted in the show. Imaginary Frankie basically IS the fanon interpretation and her very creations can sort of be read as how people want to perceive her.

Never found her hot at all, Fosters' art style was pretty shit, compare actual Frankie from one of her screenshots to the one in fanart, they barely look alike (her arms and legs are fucking noodles in the cartoon), if you want to "goon" over some Cartoon Network girl you already got Ms Bellum, Sedusa and Eris who look good in model...or the Mom from RobotBoy
>>
>>150934625
My canon is that deep down she misses her grandma so that's why she created an imaginary version and she actually inherited the mansion and her small fortune to keep things running.

Why do you think these characters aren't popular? Being "hot" on model means nothing because most western design aren't good enough to be truly hot. A character needs to be cute to be popular. The artists can do the rest.

I'll never see this constant whinging over canon or models as anything but sour grapes because you can't draw. Everyone knows what the cartoon looks like, if you want stock frankie then go watch it. People don't want to autistically replicate the exact same thing they draw what they like how they like it.

They announced the Youtube series was coming out by the end of the year, they got little more than 2 months to release episode 1, I know WB/Cartoon Network fucked them over and they had to go indie and can no longer use any of the characters owned by WB, but if they need money to finish the episode they could just ask for it

It's actually pretty impressive how well everything works. It's such a novel solution that just makes all the fanon ideas just fit. Like, even Frankie hooking up with imaginary friends makes sense here, since Imaginary Frankie ending up with another imaginary friend is actually something that could happen. The idea that Frankie would ever fuck Wilt, Bloo, or Eduardo is truly and utterly out of character, but Imaginary Frankie? Yeah, sure, I could see it.
Thank you CN comics for giving us such an immaculate solution.

I mean considering that Imaginary Frankie was born out of some kid's latent sexuality and loves boys, I'm pretty sure she's just one "sees an erect penis for the first time" away from going full nympho mode. You could even make an argument that all of the slutty fanart of Frankie is just Imaginary Frankie.

I've always wanted to commission a comic of that exact scenario, where Imaginary Frankie just stumbles on a guy with a hardon in the bathroom or something and is immediately enamored as that buried sexual side of her finally clicks, but I've never found an artist that could both pull of the style right and also had comic commissions open.

She actually has several different versions since people "imagined" her in different ways. Hell her entire thing is that she works in a home for imaginary friends, so just say that the fanon interpretation is an imaginary version of her and that's all there is to it.

>"virtually indistinguishable" (lie)
You just witnessed someone mistaking actual art for AI art.
>what is there to dislike visually?
It's only ever indistinguishable from very basic art. It can't mimic unique styles. But there's plenty of professionally-made pieces that look just as generic despite taking tens or hundreds of hours to makes, so I can't see a logical reason for people to bitch so much about it.
>>
>>150943091
I witnessed a retard being a retard. It's very much distinguishable because I, and anyone else with working eyeballs, can distinguish it.

The most realistic scenario is this: Mac and Frankie become platonic co-workers at Fosters who won’t end up marrying anyone. In Mac’s case it’ll be because he has oneitis for Frankie but is too embarrassed to ask her out, for good reason. With Frankie however, she’ll be single because she can’t find the right guy or is too busy to date anyone.

You must be fucking retarded. Your whole argument here is "people draw generic crap too". Except it still takes effort and time for a person to draw generic crap and it's a step on a journey to good art. Even if they're untalented and can't improve further, it's still a testament to their effort and they can only produce a few drawings a week at most. AI can shit out millions of crappy pictures a week to flood the net and will always be crap. The "soul" people talk about is the fact that a fellow fan of a cartoon liked it so much that he took the time and effort to learn to draw this character and is sharing it with you. Not some guy taking a minute to gen something that will only look good if it closely rips off some actual artist's effort.

This is just another dumb moralfag argument that has no real-world significance. Nobody who isn't a high-functioning autist actually cares about how long something takes to be created. It's not pertinent to the quality of the art at all.
>and it's a step on a journey to good art
We aren't all budding novices who have a promising artistic career ahead of us if we just stick to it. Some people never learn the right lessons. Not everybody improves over time.
>it's still a testament to their effort and they can only produce a few drawings a week at most
>The "soul" people talk about is the fact that a fellow fan of a cartoon liked it so much that he took the time and blah blah blah
Again, literally nobody ever cares about this in real life. You don't give a shit about the effort put into art when it's a movie you hate, or a genre of music you find annoying, or a well-written piece of poetry. People take so much fucking art for granted all the fucking time, then turn around and pretend they give a shit about MUH SOVL when AI is in the conversation. You're the internet equivalent of a shitty cheerleader who bullied pimply geeks and fat chicks to suicide in high school, then got through nursing school, and suddenly became a devout Christian who cares about "love and acceptance!!1!"
You're two-faced and fake, and nothing you say has any worth because you have no values or actual standards. You're just saying what people want to hear.

It's ironic that you mentioned autism, because you sound autistic. Literally everyone normal realizes and cares about the difference between home-made cookies especially for them and a pack of store-bought ones. You'd have to be neurodivergent not to. And the last part is straight-up shizo-tier.

That's a horrible example. People eat and enjoy store bought all the time. And are you going to chow down on a plate of homemade cookies if they're charred and rock hard? What if they have raisins? What if the person who baked them added too much salt and flour?
You pretending you'll just eat anything as long as it's human-made is ironically just as slop-pilled as liking AI.

Shit, are you actually autistic? Like literally? I'm not actually talking about cookies here. I'm using it as an example of subjectively assigning something more value because it was made by a human who was thinking of you enjoying it, rather than by a machine that someone constructed thinking purely of profit. Art is subjective. People like the effect of someone's skill and effort more than something a machine makes. It's human nature.

Also this discussion is tangential. The actual problems /co/ has with AI slop are very objective:
1) It is not as good as whatever artist it's ripping off. The better the artist, the bigger the gap.
2) It discourages existing and especially new artists. Which is a problem because AI slop is a worse copy of existing art, which cannot replace or even exist without a lot of art by real artists to continuously train it on.
3) It pollutes fanart and reference pools. Which makes searching for new fanart and accurate reference much harder.

>it was made by a human who was thinking of you enjoying it, rather than by a machine that someone constructed thinking purely of profit
That's a false dichotomy. Plenty of people made art strictly for profit, and people make AI art for fun.
>People like the effect of someone's skill and effort more than something a machine makes. It's human nature.
Essentialism gets you nowhere. Plenty of people just consume media and enjoy it without worrying about the creative process, and there's plenty of people who like AI art just as much as normal art. I'm not one of them, but pretending they don't exist is just cope.
>It is not as good as whatever artist it's ripping off. The better the artist, the bigger the gap.
Generally this is true, but it's not like it's always obvious what artist it's taking from.
>It discourages existing and especially new artists.
I can totally understand not wanting your art absorbed into AI software, and a lot of sites just steal your shit and don't tell you or let you opt out, but if you're genuinely dissuaded from making art at ALL because of AI, that's pathetic.
>It pollutes fanart and reference pools.
Again, I can understand this complaint to an extent, but at a certain point, you're just painting yourself as a lazy piece of shit who doesn't know how to use search engines.

No, I'm saying it IS a metaphor. That's why I don't understand why you went into problems that are only applicable to actual cookies. Metaphors aren't and can't be 100% applicable. It's meant to represent a very specific scenario where comparison is enlightening.

Same with people, I'm giving you a specific example where it IS the case that the person is thinking of your enjoyment and you go on to tell me how it isn't ALWAYS the case as if I'm arguing it always is. And no, people can't "make" AI. Entering a prompt isn't "making", that's the problem. Even ancients marveled at hand-hewn statues and spat at hacks who used plaster and forms to make them. And AI goes even further: you're now the commissioner, not the creator. It's a very human thing to appreciate the process and skill as much as the end result in art. Only fools appreciate purely the result, "we must lower ourselves to the common denominator" isn't an argument. We're not talking about automatic widget production for the common good, this is art.

>base artist is not always obvious
Only when the slop is awful, the better slops rip off prolific artists very closely.

>only weak artists get discouraged
I don't care about their mental fortitude as people, I only care about them as artists. AI discourages them = I get less art = AI bad.

>search better
It's not that it's impossible, it's that it's much harder. I don't like things that make it harder for me to do things. If before you could just search, now you have to enter extra parameters and sift.

>That's why I don't understand why you went into problems that are only applicable to actual cookies.
It was my own metaphor for art that's "inedible", or not suited to your preferences, or a bad product from an artform you typically like. And unlike homemade cookies, most of the art you enjoy is not made directly for you either. It's actually meant to have mass appeal, kind of like store-bought cookies.
>people can't "make" AI. Entering a prompt isn't "making"
Eh. One of the things you can ABSOLUTELY guarantee with AI is that what you're getting is one-for-one, because AI can't duplicate shit to save its life. So, if you consider writing to be an artform (which it objectively is), then typing an AI prompt is a microscopic level of creativity used to make a unique product. Obviously though, people who think themselves painters because they know how to press keys are just delusional.
>Even ancients marveled at hand-hewn statues and spat at hacks who used plaster and forms to make them.
That's kind of my issue. Who gets to gatekeep what counts as "real art", especially when ancient artists would laugh at the high-tech methods we use to create? We've had the "this isn't real music/cinema/etc." argument thousands of times. I'm not saying AI is the same as everything else, but people usually just bend the knee and stop caring about this stuff after a while. Life goes on.
>Only fools appreciate purely the result, "we must lower ourselves to the common denominator" isn't an argument
It's not an argument, it's a reality. Everyone experiences art, but most people aren't artistically minded.
>I don't care about their mental fortitude as people, I only care about them as artists.
You're a real saint.
>before you could just search, now you have to enter extra parameters and sift
Typing -"ai" is the MOST I need to do to omit that shit from searches. How are you wanking about the integrity of time spent creating when you're getting filtered by Google Images?

Creating art should require a sense of aesthetics as the base minimum. A machine doesn't possess it.

>You're a real saint
Are you bipolar? First you go "we gotta be pragmatic about reality" and then "you should care whether a person you don't even know is mentally weak enough to stop drawing over AI not for personal reasons but for their sake".

>"-ai"
Oh sure, because search engines are perfect at identifying AI, aren't they? If AI can't figure out it fucked up when making slop most of the time, why would it be able to identify those fuck-ups to realize its slop most of the time? And what about tech illiterate people with money who are searching for artists to support or tech-illiterate artists looking for references? That also affects me getting art in the end.
>>
>>150968144
>Creating art should require a sense of aesthetics as the base minimum.
A requirement as meaningless as it is unrepresentative of how people make art. Good job.
>Are you bipolar?
You keep pretending that ordinary people hold the same artistic standards that you do when that's not true at all.
Meanwhile, caring about what people can make for you, but not about their wellbeing is like the main thing people criticize AIbros for. You're not exactly striking me as someone who truly values human connection through art, anon. You just want content.
>what about tech illiterate people with money who are searching for artists to support or tech-illiterate artists looking for references?
I'm not even sure what you're asking here. What kind of loon just searches through image databases looking for artists to sponsor? That's not how internet artists make their money. We aren't in the Renaissance.
And as for someone using an AI picture as a reference... literally what's wrong with that? They're taking something you think is "soulless" and making it into actual art.

A sense of aesthetics is needed to perceive art, it's logical that it is also needed to create it.

I can both understand subjective feelings and be pragmatic. One doesn't preclude me from the other.

People search for artists in a variety of ways. And slop references have a huge chance to be inaccurate.
>>
>>150969877
What the hell do you mean by "a sense of aesthetics"? Literal babies can perceive art. All you need is eyes and/or ears.

I have never heard of a philanthropist using Google to seek out internet artists in my life.
>>
>>150969973
A sense of aesthetics, as in the ability to find something beautiful, meaningful or engaging, is required for understanding that something you perceive constitutes art. A dog can see a Rembrandt, but it doesn't understand that it's art.

Philanthropists do a lot of things without reporting to you.

>>150970032

Most land animals can do this, retard. It came free with your ability to perceive stimulus. The sad part about you trying to be an art snob is that you're not very good at it.
