/Conspiracy/ Girls, But All AI!
Theme song: Giornos Theme Jay D Remix
Today marks a momentous day: I finally made LORAs for all 5 of the main characters in /Conspiracy/ Girls! It was a long road getting here, but I feel that I am much better at using the AI for it!
Hard Work Pays Off
Over the months of February and March, I spent the New Year's learning Danbooru prompting; then graduating to making my own LORAs, and I think it paid off spectacularly.
I have always been very conscious about how bad the concept art looks for /Conspiracy/ Girls whenever I post them, and since Author-kun doesn't draw (he doesn't), it resulted in /Conspiracy/ Girls not having a single piece of event CG at all.
And I’m pretty sure Stefan would scream if I made him do character design AND have to do up CGs at the same time, we would never make the deadline.
So I made a small goal for myself: this month I'll try my best to put all five main characters of /Conspiracy/ Girls in LORAs. The concept art is so much better and I am much more willing to show them to artists to buy comissions now!
The Journey was Tanoshii, Wasn't It?
I liked the journey getting here. Annalie was the very first piece of real art I commissioned from Stefan and I ended my LORA training with Annalie this month. I really feel it when I say that my daughters are very beautiful!
As expected, there wasn't much problem with Annalie's training. I did have some problems with her coattails unlike Oracion's training because I mostly trained her in sitting poses where the coattails clip right through, but nothing too serious.
As Author-kun, I note that there are some very minor details that most people will miss out from the AI-generated images, but overall, I really like the vibrant and detailed feeling they give off. (extremely detailed), (vibrant colors) are important tags!
Since I now know a little bit about prompting, I guess I'll be delving into H-images now, it's a brand new world, especially now that the hands and eyes problem have been solved by ControlNet and Inpainting respectively.
Annalie also marks the first person to be trained on AbyssOrangeMixv3, which is a huge step up from the v2 model, which could not get a lot of ecchi prompts right. No, there won't be ecchi images here, we are very sfw, but bikini photos are very reasonable and not yabai at all.
Small Wishes
"A-annalie, that’s kinda lewd."
I think I really underestimated the amount of time I needed to make AI art, so much that I put aside the writing of new /Conspiracy/ Girls chapters for this. I think it's a matter of time and priorities. AI is fun and amazing, and so is writing, but I am an old hand at writing already, while AI is unexplored frontiers for me, as well as for many other people! I would like to devote my time to this more than I would like to write visual novels, which is a massive undertaking and I only really managed it when I was not very busy during the Corana-chan+ years.
But I know that I want to fulfill a small wish: To make CG images for ALL to fill in the great CG gap for /Conspiracy/ Girls!
I think that this is a true practical application for /Conspiracy/ Girls that I would like to experiment with. I want to do this with a deadline of 9/11, so that it can be released as a 9/11 update for the memes while the price drops all the way down to 9/11. We did the whole $14.88 schtick without anyone killing me for it, so why not? Oh and fuck the people who bullied pikamee. I'll say here outright that was bullshit to harass her after a long hiatus just for wanting to play Wizard Game.
If I may roll again without hitting Qiqi: I would like to pair new chapters for /Conspiracy/ Girls with AI images in the near future.
With Latent Couple, it seems like the possibilities are endless, and that seems to be a running theme, that the possibilities are endless! I already made preparations to switch to a more webnovel format since early of this year, and I would like to start writing small oneshots to get myself going and to keep that typing arm in shape! You'll know when the webnovels start releasing, because that's when I have secretly finished all the CG art I want to make for /Conspiracy/ Girls.
And with a tiny amount of primos left: I would like to make funny videos on youtube.
A small theatergoing part of me is unfulfilled whenever I simply write 2D words, because I would like to see my characters dance and move about to music like in COM3D2, so in my spare time, I'll probably be making .exe videos. Nothing spectacular, just learning the ins and outs of Da Vinci so that I can have a better understanding of videography, the same way that I have been learning about photography these past two months.
Last Word
Well, that's a lot to do in April. But a toast, to everlasting success, and fuck culties, jannies and glowies who get in my way! Now I shall work on making some funny videos while I digest all this success.
