THE MONTH IN AI (OCTOBER 23')
This month was a pretty productive month. I wrote a little of Princess Wars and /Conspiracy/ Girls, but the real work came in getting some VFX done for my AI art. Overall, we got some work done, and there is stuff for the future!

This is Viola.
As you can see, starting with early October I started experimenting with doing some light touchups/ corrections in artwork. I like how the AI composes pictures and try to get it perfect inside Stable Diffusion; Author-kun has pursued the route of "big colors, big vibrance" adding a lot of alterations in color and restraints to his work. I don't think its a bad idea, it just takes a lot of time, that's all.
Starting in November, I would like to open up commissions called "Test Requests" to practice doing commissions in the future.
Its time to get a little serious about this.
Evaluating October/ September Plans
October was a pretty good month for consistency. The 2-major, 1-minor posting train has not stopped, though I think I will relegate the 1-minor piece and fold it into Weekly Roundup once Viola starts doing requests. The reason is that the HouseDelaroux PIXIV is mostly known for its bondage art, people might get confused if there's too much seiso art.
On the writing side, there is surprisingly less progress than I would like. Mostly because I have stalled a bit on the early life of Madison and Sachiko. I think that there will be loose one-shot pieces from here on out, but not a continuous series as I had hoped. It was really difficult meshing conspiracies and vtubing, so much that it felt like a forced meme and retreading a lot of things that were special to Madness.
However! In the background I was doing some concepting for an alternate version of /HDG/, coming your way soon on PIXIV novels! A minor goal would be to post short scenes (under ~800 words) every weekend like a weekend anime, and eventually scenes can become episodes. Work is in progress. LORAs, concepting and a lot of thinking in the background.
I haven’t given up my idea for doing a Codex Lewdicum where I summarize the year of doing AI art, but I need to pour all my experience in one place first. And it is only through doing AI art again and again that I relearn the old lessons that I have forgotten.
Last Word
"Lewd comedy about intergalatical kidnappers. Powered by memes, AI, bondage!"
Once again, a lot of work. But now that I am doing the things that I like, writing and making art, I think I can go far further than when I was making the original /HDG/.
