/scaly/ - Scaly General #1650Post lewd reptiles and discuss scaly stuff, male or female is fine. Dragons, wyverns, dinosaurs, lizards, snakes, and reptile-folk such as kobolds and Argonians are welcome, on top of other things with scales like sharks as well. Anthros, ferals and human/scaly are allowed, but please, no monstergirls.

>>83164595That is a nice ass, but I'm curious what she's wearing across her hips...
>>83164220The first scaly-related song I think of is "Into Free~ Dangan", which is a bop. I think more medieval fantasy should have a rock soundtrack.

>>83165647https://heavenmanga.com/manga/leer/543668how is that spanish bros are the only one translating this, shameful
>>83165963Translating and apparently uncensoring. Also, they're only up to Chapter 2 - Eliorapta appears in the following chapter (and, if these guys are planning on uncensoring the whole thing, we'll get a look at raptor cola in Chapter 4 - and yes, she does confirm she's got a cloaca while proudly announcing her clan doesn't wear underwear under their loincloths).

I hate coincidences.
>>83169033>dragon hidden in a pocket dimensionThat's pretty much the backstory for my definitely-not-sona as well, sans a couple details. I guess it's a very obvious trope.
>>83169122It's moreso used as a mode of transport for the derg between missions. He usually stays in the real world when they aren't traveling
>>83169163I'm talking just about the general trope of stuffing a dragon in a Bag of Holding. Obviously the implementation is going to differ.
>>83167027>calling clever birbs stupidAnon is going to get the tonguebath if he isn't careful
Are you gonna play her game?
>>83169261A new time with cavemananon is always a good time, so of course.
If you date a scalie, how do you deal with all their shed skin??? Isn't it kind of gross??
>>83169280>good timeI don't know. I feel like Volcaldera will be soul crushing in a way Snoot and I Wani weren't. Particularly the bad endings. I predict that Ashley will kill herself in the first one, likely from an overdose.
>>83169261Liked Snoot and Wani quite a lot so yeah, sure.
>>83169301Anon, don't make fun of them in such an exposed and tender moment or a scalie won't let you snack on their shed skin.Humans like that too, right? eating up shed skins, right??
Adine... best girl beloved...
>>83169301If you can't handle her at her shedding-ist, then you don't deserve her at her shiniest.
>>83169033Still better than h*manform.How about a spell, that temporarily give him chameleon scales? As long as he stays still, and nobody bumps into him, he can stay invisible.Or, carry a folded tent around, that they can drape on him fast to make him look like an inconspicuous tent? A bit like Metal Gear Solid.None of these would work if walking around in town is a must, but then again, he could stay outside.But anyway. I feel you. I'm drafting a story where one MC is a dragon too and when I read the Dragon and the Author, it almost killed all of my motivation to continue given how many parts overlapped, and how his ideas were better than mine.The dragon has a similar nature (at least on the surface), the dynamic between the two MCs is similar, in Dragon and the Author the dragon teaches spellcasting to the human, for me this also happens, but it's the other way around, but perhaps the most painful similarity is how both use the trope of the MC holding a secret from the dragon that they know if the dragon learns, it's going to get really nasty (although in Dragon and the Author, the MC isn't holding that too much as a secret from the derg, because he knows he wouldn't believe it anyway, but if one day he does, then same effect)>picDidn't expect that someone would save my smoke derg drawings.
Alright, here is Rene, the cop lady.VNanons concept didn't include her lower body and I might have gone a bit far designing that.But those black scutes on her hands and feet made it look like she's wearing wristguards or something and so I carried on with that combat ready design and gave her a tail weapon as well.I kinda really like how she turned out but if anything needs to be changed, please tell me.
>>83169477I love a scaly woman in "uniform", nice work.
>>83169477>body like that>not a single piece of clothingSomeone needs to arrest HER for public indecency! Seriously, gorgeous gal, and I adore those talons.
>>83169477How dat badge stuck on
>>83169543Tape.
>>83169543Magic.
>>83169477Top tier design, I approve. But since she's a cop, I'd expect her to have a gear belt on, with stuff like cuffs, a notepad, and a conspicuous lack of weapon since she already has her tail mace. Maybe it could be a tail belt?
>>83169261Yes, but I have concerns.They were supposed to make exit 665 after Snoot, but then they took over Wani, and pushed it through a dev hell. Then, went back to exit 665 again, just to drop it again to make a third dino dating game. To me this screams financial issue, especially how Exit 665 didn't create enough hype, and the Wani plush fiasco probably also cost them a lot, while generating no revenue yet.What I'm trying to get at here is that to me it looks like they are making fanservice to get money, and I don't like that attitude. This looks like an "I can fix her" dino dating game to me, which I don't mind in general, but from Cavemanon, to make such a similar game for the third time, feels cop out to me. I wanted to see them take bigger risks.But I hope I'll be proven wrong. This time, at least they ditched the high school setting and the faceless nobody MC, so it might still be different enough.
>>83169593Still weird how she only has 1 piece of porn

>>83169473>Still better than h*manform.That's not a very high bar to be fair.>How about a spell, that temporarily give him chameleon scales?

You shouldn't give up though, execution is what matters most in my opinion. If it feels distinct enough, I don't think anyone will care.>>pic>Didn't expect that someone would save my smoke derg drawings.How could I not? I brought up the topic in that thread in the first place.
>>83169301>kind of grossYou meant kind of hot, right?>>83169614She's not very well known it seems.Maybe I could draw her at some point.
>>83169033Stuff like that happens. Not really scaly related but a long time ago I was thinking about intelligent species with non-humanoid bodies for a sci-fi universe and came up with a smart small parasitic worm taking over other creatures bodies to use their physical strength and mobility.Only way later I learned about Stargate and the Goa'uld.
>>83169650>execution is what matters mostYeah, well, let me tell you another story.Maybe 10 years ago I jotted down an idea for a story (just a 2 page draft, not to write an actual story about it, just to remember the idea, itdelf). It was in a world of non-humans, where one day, a human appears, who only the MC can see. The human is at first like an eldritch horror, unknowable, omnipotent, and indifferent. Eventually, the MC and the human get to know each other better, and in the end he admits that the world is just a closed alpha test for a game, he's a tester, and the MC isn't even a real person. Which she doesn't take well.Technically, this has nothing to do with my dragon story, but the Dragon and the Author incorporated simething quite similar. You said execution matters. Well, that is why this hurts, because his version of the idea was 10 times better. In mine l, the human was just a tester, in his, the MC is directly responsible for everything, which makes this concept way more powerful.(Also, yes, I know Ready Player 1 also had this idea, but that coincidence didn't bother me, because back then I had no concrete plans for writing)
>>83169745Please do so, this world needs more lizards
>>83169513>>83169523>>83169592Thanks!>>83169592That's a good point. Guess I have to give her some clothing now (if a belt even counts as such).
War is hell
>>83169477With those goat horns and spiked tail I can't help but want to ask insensitively if she's got manticore genes or something
>>83170115>Guess I have to give her some clothing now (if a belt even counts as such).You could give her a shoulder sash/bandolier - her badge can clip on to the upper part, and if you choose to give her a gun, the holster can dangle from the lower part above her left hip.
>>83170230I'm afraid a bandolier would be too loose for a cop, as they generally need their gear to hold tight so they don't lose it in bad situations. However, I could see her wearing a harness, with two bands crossing diagonally across the chest so you still have both the hip area for the equipment and the chest part to attach the badge. Plus I think that would make her look more "tacticool" while still leaving her essentially nude.
>>83170321Dino pussy
>>83169543She's not the first to do that.

>>83169592>>83170230>>83170364What do you think of a small harness + tail belt combo?
>>83171559Very good because it makes her appear more naked.
>>83169477Dear god lizardanon. Your sense of thicc volume has really developed. Imagine that weighty tail immobilizing you for crimes against the public!
>>83171559Very nice. Practical and looks good. I hope VNanon approves.
>>83169477>those thighsIf I had a weakness, this is it. Those plates work really well with the proportions, and you just know those legs have plenty of muscle to step all over you, but still look supple enough to give way to a firm grip.
>>83170918>>83171559What is that VN I keep seeing? I need more context please, also more of these cute characters
>>83171559

>>83171679TL;DR is picrel happened and we bullied the two anons into putting their skills together.Also, does anybody have the Christmas group shot of the main five?
>>83169506Ideal size difference relationship
>>83169261Cavemanon is the Thomas Hardy of scalie visual novels. That is, he writes just to annoy your feelings. So, no. I know what to expect. And I don’t care to go through it again.>>83171797Anyone that says this just wants to climb inside her. You can’t fool me. If your dragon wife was this big but said she wasn’t comfortable with unbirthing you, you’d fall out of love with her.
>>83169473>>83169033I remind you both; Games Workshop made millions ripping entire storylines whole cloth from other franchizes.Stop worrying so much. Even two stories in the exact same setting aren't going to be identical. And people hardly mind that. Hell, some fanfic stuff involves the same literal characters. And yet I'd hardly complain they're not different enough. Frankly, given how freely authors do it with the 'classics' and just call it a 'reference' or 'allusion' or similar, I don't see what the big deal is anyways. It's the same shit, just one is older.
>>83171795It's almost been a year...I have it of course.
>>83171559Somehow even more risque, especially with the lack of a belt.
>>83172001>If your dragon wife was this big but said she wasn’t comfortable with unbirthing you A little "just my arm, babe." and "look, the air hose works great", and "these 15 watermelons I taped together into a vaguely-me-shape, are just fine after your orgasm, sweetie!"

>>83171572>Very good because it makes her appear more naked.Exactly my thoughts as well XD>>83172028>Even two stories in the exact same setting aren't going to be identical. And people hardly mind that.Thank you for saying that.I think I'm not that afraid of being called out for copying something, because I know that there will be enough differences, and because my source materials aren't that well known.For me, it's more about thinking you're creative for having come up with something cool, and then seeing that someone else already did that BUT BETTER. That's the part that tanked my motivation.For now, I cope with this in two ways.One: be better. Have better ideas, by reading more. Unforunately, I was barely reading books for a long time, and this only changed in the past half year, when I landed here, and found scalywn and scalylit. I'm essentially making up for a lot of lost time.Two: start with a smaller, simpler story as a test run, for learning writing. Something that is "allowed to suck", without making me feel bad about it.
>>83172055I just realized that Jamie is just rocking a sweater like a dork while everybody else is in costume. He's the odd one out even in non-canon side media.
>>83172322Nta, but great work!
Your friends just found out you would have relations with a scaly. How are they reacting? How are (You) reacting?
>>83172482To be fair, Elizabeth isn't in costume, either - that's just her bondage gear.
>>83172539I think you can get an approximation by asking yourself how they'd react if you came out gay, and announced that your bf is from an african country. That has enough shock value, while still plausible IRL.They'd be shocked, but they wouldn't try to stop me, but said partner would have to make a good impression on my relatives, the first time they meet. And that would probably take some preparation.
>>83172624>they wouldn't try to stop meActually on second thought, they probably would be very unhappy, if I introduced a faggot nigger, so I'm not so sure anymore.

>>83169033Holy shit a fellow kagurabachi reader, I was expecting pocket dragon storage to go in a completely different directionThat said, localized pocket dimension storage has been done since forever. Knov in HxH & Obito in Naruto to name two, so just write it anyways
Dragons that would purr?
>>83172539Go about my business and try not to rub it in too much. >FamilyI get called a freak because now I'm in a superminority as the only person in the family who prefers their meat done enough to be warm inside
>>83172539I'd just play it completely straight, but in as sarcastic tone as I can muster. I'm already known as a lizard fucker in one friend group and yet nobody knowsit's actually true because I didn't make a big deal out of it. It's not like people can get undeniable proof in this gay world without scalies in it.
>>83175063>I was expecting pocket dragon storage to go in a completely different directionNow I'm curious. What'd you think it was, anon?>That said, localized pocket dimension storage has been done since forever. Knov in HxH & Obito in Naruto to name two, so just write it anywaysTouche. I guess I'm just nervous since the story also borrows heavily from Jujutsu Kaisen already. I'd rather avoid being compared to another pre existing IP
>>83169033what do you mean about the dragon being a bomb
>>83165647I was curious about the manga, and ended up typesetting one of the interesting chapters, I hope I won't annoy anyone by posting it hereI won't pretend I'm a good typesetter either, probably some stuff got lost in translation

>>83176028Basically, his innate "soul trait" allows him to detonate his own Mana (think of it like Ki from Dragon Ball or similar energy systems) like an explosive. If he feels like it, he can detonate himself like a nuke (he's fine though. He's immune to his own explosions), at the cost of a large amount of Mana, which would end up putting him out of commission more often than not, so it's a last resor thing.
>>83175263picrel reminds me of those like, early-2000s Japanese games with that weirdly pristine aesthetic to them. Specifically, it reminds me a lot of Phantasy Star Online 2's Day dawns track.

>>83169477>>83171559Rene is absolutely perfect, you've nailed it, especially with the belts, like the others said it does give off a more risque vibe while also keeping it looking practical. Tail rig is absolutely peak and one of my favorite tropes of scaly character design. I definitely get the feeling she's no nonsense.I've got a quick suggestion though with pic rel, she could be a little more thicc in this department (thick red line) to line up with her tail better (dashed) if that makes sense?Otherwise I gotta echo all these other anons and gotta say this is one of your best ones yet, I also have a follow up post(cont.)
>>83178232(cont.)I've finished the Sarah CG! (had to make it a jpg to fit in the filesize though). I know this took a while but I'm really happy with how it turned out. For the next background I'm going to pic something simpler for a quicker experience lmao. In any case like I said before this one's important because it's very much a first impression of the both the bar and the game.Anyway with that and just a few things to tidy up on the final Week 2 build I will put the release out on Wednesday June 4th, because that's the day Lizardanon posted the concept art based off the descriptions I gave shortly after >>83171795happened. 1 year of the /scaly/ vn.I should get a scaly themed drink to celebrate
>>83172322That anon, Nice stuff! Good to see her get it
>>83175872I was expecting a punchline about the pocket dimension being shoved up one of the characters' orifices.
>>83177962At last we know the truth
>>83178741Lol, nah. I mean, it's technically possible, but it would be very impractical.
>>83179037
>>83178362>Wednesday June 4thYou sure you don't have last year's calendar?But seriously, congrats to both you and lizardanon for keeping it up for this long, and I wish you nothing but success going forward. Hope to see the day the VN is finally complete.
>>83179053
>>83179066The big reveal
>>83176628>I hope she is a part of the party from now on,I've seen the untranslated raws all the way up to Chapter 10 so far. Looks like she's a permanent party member going forward.Also, while this chapter (4) is the one that focused on her primarily, she actually first appeared in Chapters 2 and 3, so she's pretty much one of the main characters. Reception to her has been overwhelmingly positive, so here's hoping that means she's here to stay.
>>83176207She's soooo cute, I want to have eggs with her. Keep typesetting this gold! (no pressure)
>>83179066Ah, so that explains a comments I was reading before. The dude with the black hair is the MC (with the Mantacore girl as his frenemy), but Eliotaptor is the "hero" of the story - the party leader who's getting a team together. She's the one who's on a quest (and she's pretty bird-brained), with the MC getting dragged along for the ride. So definitely a permanent cast member, since she's the driving force behind the plot here.
>>83179475Why is that Synth nekkid? Doesn't he know it's rude to leave the house without your outer casing?
>>83168174The consequences be damned, I want to pet a small fae dragon. I want to feed it berries and scratch it's neck while it purrs in delight from being spoiled.>>83169477Oh, I'm a big fan of those scutes. Always liked them on large dinosaurs because, as you said, it kinda looks like armor. Guess that's also one reason why I like the WoF dragon designs so much. However, I'm not so sure about scutes on places other than limbs and tail. As much as I praise the dos2 lizards, those underwear/torso scutes just look silly and out of place to me.
>>83164220>>83168518Nice, more power metalI mentioned Lady Dragon (Dreamtale) and Bloodred Shores of Enoshima (Whispered) in the previous thread.Another one I could mention is Magic Dragon, by Gloryhammer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=951nwQOsxgwThe whole album gives me a strange nostalgia, because it was one of the first power albums I heard, and I stayed with the genre ever since.I even named myself after one of the characters in this album on an obscure art community, where I'm still being called by that name.
hey everyone! :3i love dwagons and teddy bears and gummy worms and video games!!!
>>83180859Good for you anon, happy pride month.
>>83180859Katy, it's been 20 years, you can stop being the penguin of doom now.
>>83169477Good job, actually, I don't have much to say now.The primary thing I noticed is that if you try to draw the center line suggested by the chest plates, it's going to be slightly to the left (in red), but not by much, and I also struggled with this, my version might not be perfect either (I'm not suggesting drawing in the center line in the final version though, it's just a crutch).The shoulder should be slightly larger, and the convex part of the bicep should be further from the elbow, but it's a subtle difference.I also noticed, that the tail could taper a bit more gradually, where I drew into it.I especially liked the hands. I didn't draw over it, but you could make the little finger slightly shorter. Just put your hand on your hip and check the difference in finger lengths.Anyway, overall, I really like her design!
>>83167552Here, lurking!

Here's my messy sketch of (You) petting Caligo's snoot, because as we all know, dragons always enjoy snoot pets. Btw, why the hell are there so few fanarts of her?Good thing I don't have enough friends who'd be interested in Nightreign to form a full party, because if I had, we'd probably do so, and I'd fucking cry if I had to kill her.What's even her deal anyway? Isn't she supposed to record historical events? That shouldn't include being involved in the events themselves. Or is it just blatantly transparent guilt tripping again, to see her, and all her knowledge destroyed by your hands (equivalent of you burning the library of Alexandria), because she has a healthbar, and the game doesn't progress until that reaches 0? It's always like this in games. They put a majestic and graceful derg in the game and then make up some excuse so that the only way to interact with her is to kill her, because as we discussed in the previous thread, dragons in games must be jobbers, and exist solely to make you feel bad.
>>83181890or you could just not play shitty games where you kill dragons cause hecking baddies
>>83180508>Magic DragonOh shit, how the fuck did I forget that one. I was also thinking of Bloodred Shores (wish Whispered would make a new album already) and a number of vidya tracks, but didn't want to song dump like a fag. I became a full time fantasy power metal enjoyer after I got bored of chasing heaviness.>I even named myself after one of the characters in this album on an obscure art community, where I'm still being called by that name.Nice. I'm guessing Zargothrax with that staff there, or maybe Ralathor.>>83181359>i'd give anything to go back to 2005Not related to the thread at all, but I just watched this the other day. It made me smile.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKmms_qLBtA
>>83181359Send me back to '96-'98 and I'll be happy.
>>83181890Caligo my cute beautiful wife...>whats the deal with herCorrupted by the night or some shit and we have to kill because... uh... you cant be happy in life and have a dragon wife never EVER
>>83182010Counterpoint, all the games with good dragons 99% of the time, have dragons that are absolute shit design wise because they need to be heckin "friend coded" and domesticated.
Vinqueur the dragon story being 7/8 stubbed away is rediculous.Whats the point of having it on royal road if there is no story left?
>>83182509Here's a quick hug edit (pic), because she deserves one.>Corrupted by the night or some shitThis again? Whenever FromSoft makes imposing character that has no reasonable explanation to be hostile, they just slap "went insane" on it and call it a day. Put a straightjacket on her and give her meds ffs.>>83182052>wish Whispered would make a new album alreadyThey put out a single two months ago, they'll probably have a new album this year.>I got bored of chasing heaviness.I was actually into depressing stuff before, and I think the switch to power metal actually contributed a little to my mental health improving.>I'm guessing Zargothrax with that staff there, or maybe Ralathor.The former. People there just call me Zargo now. If I ever make a social media account for my drawings, I might even use that name. Zargo, I mean, I don't want a cease & desist. Might decide on something else though.>videoIf you like classical influences in metal, bands like Whispered, and power metal, then if you don't know them yet, I highly recommend Aephanemer, my #1 fav band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i93FMILl5JM
>>83182895I screwed up the transparency mask around the pants, quick fix.
>>83182509>>83182895I am not sure she was corrupted. If the scant description of her in the game is true, she was always possibly hostile to people and is described as the sort who is always hungering for knowledge and would sit by to watch a disaster unfold just to learn the details of what would happen.
I want misanthropanon
>>83174854He's so cute... in a totally straight way.
>>83183027>would sit by to watch a disaster unfoldYeah, exactly what I'd expect from her. To just watch, instead of getting herself killed for no reason.
>>83176189HE FUCKING KILLED HER>>83176207based, anon. I know the struggle of typesetting. Thank you for your service!
>>83179973>The consequences be damned, I want to pet a small fae dragon. I want to feed it berries and scratch it's neck while it purrs in delight from being spoiled.They really are such cute little troublemakers. I suppose the silver lining here is that they're inherently Chaotic Good by nature, so it should indeed be possible to befriend one if you spoil them and treat them with respect - I imagine any Fae would love to be told they're just as fearsome and powerful as a "true" dragon, or that they pull the best pranks, or that their wings are the prettiest of all, or that they've loaded their nests with the most interesting trinkets ever...
>>83182636Idk what kind of games you're playing. I enjoy strategy games where most of the times dragons are just "units". I let my mind create the fantasies myself.
She gives me some Miura vibes when you actually get to see her fight.>>83183332>HE FUCKING KILLED HERShe's fine - a recurring joke is that she's so bird-brained that she keeps ending up in near-death situations with pretty much zero regard for almost dying each time. She literally eats poisoned meat that an assassin was trying to kill her with at one point, passes out for a few panels, then wakes up just fine and asking for seconds. But like I said, she's a main character, so she's here for the long run.
>>83184054Also some random, out-of-context panels from chapters 5-10.
if you wouldn’t sleep in your dragon friend’s maw then you’re dracophobic
>>83184206BASED.>>83184067I'm glad it sounds like kemonofags are standing up over on Japanese twitter
>when you're in the sauna and the dragon at your side says picrel so you start taking off your towel and then they give you a weird look midway through using the ladle to put more water on the rocks
>>83184311>tfw no cold-blodded scalie gf to cool me down on hot summer nights
>>83183332>HE FUCKING KILLED HERTechnically, she was still alive - when a person is quickly decapitated like that, their brain stays alive for upwards of eight to ten seconds after the fact. That's why the dude's Revive spell worked - he reattached her head and hit her with the revive spell before she was actually dead, and she was still conscious though the whole thing (which is why she's so confused as to what just happened in the next panel).Typically, you can't bring a dead person back to life by casting Revive in a fantasy setting like this, (you'd need necromancy for that), and given this is an ecchi gag manga first and foremost and she's the "Hero" of the story, it's very unlikely they're going to actually kill her off at any point.Anyway, on to the more serious question: This manga has apparently been running for about four months now. Where's all the porn? There's got to be SOMETHING out there by now, right?
King- and Queen-anons, can you truly be in love if your dragon SO won't fight to near-death with their family in order to protect you at family gatherings? Know your worth.

>>83187062>>83187413I am going to personally kill both of you for being retarded. There's no way a barglass is a structurally weak as a jar, unless she has insane vice-like pelvic muscles that could crumple your "icicle"
>>83187515>There's no way a barglass is a structurally weak as a jar, unless she has insane vice-like pelvic muscles that could crumple your "icicle"You do realize she's a huge ass fucking dragon who's big enough to fit an entire human up her pussy; those muscles could probably literally kill a man if she clamped down hard enough (or at least break some bones). As for the strength of the glass, even if it's as thick as a window pane, it's still going to be proportionally weaker due to how big it is - you can't just upscale something and expect it to retain the same durability it had at its normal size.
>>83185357analogies like this are always retarded.the fact cats can't speak is a bigger ethical issue than their age of sexual maturity. a nonverbal 30 year old with severe intellectual disabilities can't legally consent to things either.dragons who think this is a coherent analogy already subconsciously (or consciously) think of the human as a pet, and are just embarrassed to be fucking what they think of as a pet.he should probably divorce her, this isn't going to last. thinking of him like a pet is the best excuse she's got for him not even being *allowed* to meet the the in-laws; if non-estranged family can't even know about you (which she implies here), that's less like a marriage and more like a secret fling with some extra paperwork.

>>83189251I haven't really shared my gens here because I'm fairly certain this thread's taken a pretty dim view of AI stuff in the past, so I don't want to step on anyone's toes. Like anon said though, I hang out in /sdg/ and usually post a few gens a day if you want to try catching me there. Don't always post scaly-appropriate stuff though, just fyi.

>>83189376The bite-sized bit of lore I've casually made for her so far is that she's former Covenant living in the human-jackal settlement on Venezia with her anonymous former ODST husband, so she DID, in fact, make it in the field.Also stronk alien birb legs capable of leaping to high vantage points and pinning a fully-grown and armored human male down.

>>83189493I've only really seen outright hostility come from1. Unmodified AI images that went from generator to posting with obvious AI artifacts ("low effort slop")2. AI porn generations of people's fursonas/characters especially when it's out of a "revenge hate boner" or because that person doesn't want porn of their characterI am personally against AI. Outside of the ethical concerns of how a model is made, not to be dramatic, but I think it's the death of creativity. But, if there's a modicum of ethics applied when using it, then I think most anons like myself just scroll passed it without anybody starting a shit-throwing contest
>>83190334I assume this is how a snake person would drink a cup of coffee.
What do (you) think of Ifrit anon?
>>83178362Great background! Looks really nice.I applied both your suggestion and the advice from >>83181229.So here is Rene's current build.
>>83190176I've seen neither of these. Especially the revenge angle. Nobody regards 'sonas as sacred around here. Nor do I recall any fuss of that one OC of blitzdrachin getting some pieces made specifically because of an anon's distaste for their autism.As far as quality goes, that's the same across the board as if I posted some real shitty generic pieces here. That's all the fuss, and it's hardly substantial. By large, the norm here seems to just be treating it as any other image made. Perhaps with slightly less interest in sources. I'll not necessarily disagree with the 'creativity' angle, though, at the same time, I find most artists to begin with lack creativity, so, I suspect it's more an increase in uncreative people's access. Still, it's certainly resulted in an influx of more generic, bland, basic anthros, to say nothing of the anime esque garbage. Things online have been getting harder to find for a while now. Don't imagine an influx of yet more shoddy content will help.
There are two types of dragons
What is she reading?
>>83190565(1/2)There were a couple anons that said the person making porn of blitzdrachin specifically because it "hurt more because they're anti AI" was cringe. I agree.I think the bar for shitty generic pieces when it comes to AI is 'higher' than human-made images because you can keep genning until you get passable images pretty easily to fix double tails, mangled faces, whatever. Generic shitty human-made pieces comes from inexperience that can be fixed with practice. I've seen budding artists post art that is "worse" than fully rendered AI art receive praise and encouragement because of the room for growth. When I say AI is the death of creativity, I don't think it's just an increase of uncreative people's access, but a complete killer in becoming a creative person. Generic, bland, basic anthros have always existed. They're the stepping stone to making unique, interesting, and complex anthros. AI does those so well because every artist has learned by creating them and either stayed at that level or gone farther. I don't think AI can go farther, and so new artists get discouraged from making generic pieces because AI does it better, so they never learn to make the interesting stuff.
>>83191010(2/2)Take this knowing my bias comes from having a relatively popular character in the fandom. Me and my mutuals don't see our sonas as 'sacred', but a lot of time and money goes into making the characters, and we hope for a baseline level of respect. AI or hand-drawn. People have done fan art of my character that while not something I would have gotten myself, was within the boundaries of what I'm comfortable with. Me and other popular character owners don't like AI as a whole, but if there's a space for AI to go (like e6ai) and it respects non-AI works (our characters/art), we can largely co-exist. The 'uproar' comes more from the disrespect of the individual creator's wishes rather than just AI itself. In my experience, it's always been done out of spite of the creator's beliefs. I don't want people AI generating my character, but there's definitely a difference between being a fan and putting my character on a beach with a sunset and making them get fucked by a horse specifically because I'm not into real animals. The culture here may be different, but I guess in some way I hope a more nuanced middle ground can be found outside of the loud 100% pro AI and 100% anti AI sides

I know I said it before but she's seriously one of your best works so far when it comes to character design.Last one is Roger's bar scene and that's it for the extra characters for the week. Then it's back to different poses. I think I'll start trying to work out the ones for Elizabeth given her route locks in during Week 3. But there were be other interesting sprites to consider; for example Jamie will start getting more used to the player in social interactions and be a bit more relaxed, like you suggested earlier.also >>83181229 you've been helping a lot with the character design feedback so I gotta thank you too as well!>>83179062>date fuck upwhoops, yep, you're right, that is Thursday not Wednesday but also thanks for the wishes of good fortune as well!

There's a large demand for "4playercoop games", so the hunter side would be covered and I can't imagine there's a shortage of solo players who wouldn't want to play a big scary monster.Fuck, now I want a Monster Hunter spinoff game where players can control monsters to fight with or against conventional hunters.>>83191022>I hope a more nuanced middle ground can be found outside of the loud 100% pro AI and 100% anti AI sidesBased and rational minded anon

>>83197356>Based and rational minded anonI try to be. Pandora's box has long-been opened with AI, and as much as I don't like it for a plethora of reasons, it would be a bit foolish to act like constantly scorning the people using it will make it magically go away. I'd like to encourage AI users to enjoy the fruits of the effort that comes with human-made art, but I get not everybody cares like I do. I hope that by respecting people that want to use AI, the same respect will be given back to the things I care about like my character. There will always be people you can't convince on either side, but a baseline level of respect and some nuance goes a long way.Enough of that soapbox though, I would fuck the shit out of a mizutsune.
