Raywingale: Okay, this is the weirdest art I've ever made. Katia is an egg now. Literally
I'll mark this as questionable, just in case

vsauce4: And her painted underwear is bacon!

rollanan: so my theory about her true form is finally confirmed!

Raywingale: @rollanan: Yes!

Raywingale: @vsauce4: I tried to draw an eggshell, but something went wrong

Rick2tails: Ive seen enough furry art to say that doesnt seem like egg

Raywingale: @Rick2tails: Is it really that bad? I don't perceive it that way, but still I will consider this art a failed attempt

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: @Raywingale: More like their failed attempts to make cum jokes :/. It is def egg katia egg shells and all.

rollanan: took me a good while to understand where exactly is the cum joke you mean here, now i cant unsee it, what have you done! why did you even mention it!

rollanan: also a few rapid fire Quills because i need to figure out how to draw her

damrok4321: Aw, that's really cute :D reminds me of my old sketchbook, love it

AMKitsune: Compared to your previous QW attempt, you're definitely heading in the right direction. These are a much better blend of her admittedly awkward facial anatomy, and your simplistic, adorable style.

Raywingale: I like these sketches. Smiling Quill looks adorable

rollanan: she has her hand on a dagger, shes gon be doin some stabby stabby

Zargothrax: Nice lighting!

TempIntel: woweewee

Rick2tails: Katia finally stopped putting up with sh*t?

Raywingale: It looks good, but it feels like I've seen it before

fastolaf: this is the content we need

madmanransom: what

Raydio: I like this too much

Baz1S: @fastolaf: Have some more then!

Baz1S: @fastolaf: Original image of russian propaganda.

madmanransom: @Baz1S: she has six fingers

Baz1S: @madmanransom: That's intentional

madmanransom:

Toryu-Mau: The other kind of BOOP!

Zargothrax: This has to be the best use of the "Hand to Hand" tag on the booru!

rollanan: i was told to post this here

image came from this snapshot of the video on the source

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: perfect, masterpiece

GrizzlyBear: Me throwing all my prequel merch and memorabilia into an incinerator when August 20th rolls around

Zargothrax: I have no words. The booru reached it's apex. Where can we even evolve from here?

NotGodOkay: What have you done...?

Zargothrax: Just noticed that the linked video is from 2017. I initially thought that was made by you (Nice animation regardless!). Thanks for bringing that up, I've never seen it before!

rollanan: extra cool extra dark contrasting lighting there

bluedraggy: It was finally time to post this. The longer I don't post it, the more I try to tweak things. I had this idea to animate the Nile and the stars, but after hacking away at that and failing I gave up. It was kinda fun to use my relatively-newfound understanding of transparency masks though on their skirts. Also those who saw this progress to final form would be shocked - SHOCKED I say! - that I actually reduced Weedum-Ja's breast size of my own free will. (Mostly because I came to realize that from this angle it just didn't make much sense the way I originally had it.) Technically this is a WEE bit more SFW than another version, but it's hardly noticeable. Yes... there is a Mistress/Slave dynamic in play here. Frankly given the heat of Egypt, these style skirts probably weren't much thicker than fishnets I figure.

I'd thought possibly to add a little text like "Want to go skinny dipping Weedum?" "What's the point?"

But I decided, no. This one has a slightly more serious vibe than that. One day I'll figure out how to do a little animation, but it is not this day.

vsauce4: What an amazing job, what a wonderful time to log in! And this time it was made by an actual person (would argue this is way better than what a robot could do by a mile)!

Zargothrax: Very nice! Hopefully she is a kind mistress

Nidhoggrd: Wow, the moonlight harmonizes so beautifully with the elements of their clothing. It's really a wonderful job.

Rick2tails: fantastic job here

rollanan: that well lady

rollanan: btw people need to make more arts of her, shes kinda hot

GrizzlyBear: She needs a tag. Closest she has to a name is crazy-poson-lady I think

rollanan: should i have the honor of picking her tag?

rollanan: i kind of like Crazy Well Lady more

GrizzlyBear: I actually agree, sounds much nicer than crazy poison lady

Zargothrax: This character somehow completely caught me off-guard in the comic. The way she she speaks about her retarded worldview was 10/10 writing imo.
Haven't realized how much the booru needed her, good job on fixing that!

rollanan: she was implied to be a Mythic Dawn cultist, iirc Mythic Dawn cultists are retarded by default

thanks!

KuroNeko: I like how the AI also put boobs on the vase in the back.
But yeah, I hope it's going to become a new trend like the no effort "memes" and get flooded by AI art.

VokaalitonTuhka: I feel like I've already seen this.

Kibermozgai: @KuroNeko: Damn, I was sure that vase was wrapped in tapes, but now I just can't unsee this gorgeous chest, lol

KuroNeko: @KuroNeko: shit I just noticed but I obviously meant "I hope it's NOT going to be a new trend"

Zargothrax: Cute Katia.
But, I'm not a big fan of this new outlook on the booru. Still, I think I'd vote for waiting. I just don't think that a preemptive strike against AI art is justified, before even seeing whether it becomes a problem or not. And for those who just really don't want to see AI art here in the mean time, you can use the tag blacklist feature.
But again, as I said I'm not a fan of this direction, so what I just said before feels like playing the devil's advocate against myself.

Zargothrax: @KuroNeko: When you said <i>no effort "memes"</i> I felt personally called out

Zargothrax: And here I join you, Kuro in not being able to edit my comment. (I accidentally used html tags instead of bbcode tags for making the quoted part italic)

GrizzlyBear: I haven’t noticed AI art being a problem here so far, unless this whole time mods have been holding back a flood of AI spam. Regardless I think AI art is bad for the booru and bad for the soul. I will say it makes a damn cute Katia, but it’s disturbing to be able to produce something like this on demand, and post it alongside human creations. It diminishes the accomplishments of the talented artists here as something now redundant and automated, but it’s not art if it’s not human. So I say keep it off the booru
(Credit to ChatGPT for writing this for me)

KuroNeko: @Zargothrax: You shouldn't, your meme redraws are top quality, wouldn't be the same without them

Zargothrax: @Zargothrax: I made a big mistake in stating my stance in that one. I said "I'd vote for waiting" but I meant something like "I think we should wait". Let me clarify what I meant:
I think there is no perfect rational, nor legal reason why AI should be banned from here before it is proven that it is problematic for the booru. That would be a typical case of "guilty before innocent". (Note: I'm talking strictly about AI on the booru, not overarching ethical concerns regarding whether AI art is in general good/bad or if it's theft or not)
HOWEVER,
I'd vote against what I think, because like others, I too don't like where this is going. I have concerns, especially with how it can affect the art community here (they are similar to what others already said).
It's worth noting that the booru is a community for artists and Prequel fans, not machines, or lawyers. As such, we need no flawless rational explanations nor infallible legal reasons to like/dislike something here. This is just the way humans are. In case it turns out that most people here don't like AI art being posted on the booru, that is in my opinion a good enough reason on it's own.

damrok4321: Probably shouldn't tag yourself as an artist if it was generated, but that's all I've got to say.

NewFace: I look forward to calmly hashing out the costs and benefits of machine learning processes in human society, and especially to our inevitable unanimous conclusion which will undoubtedly form a foundation for all future AI legislation around the globe.

Rick2tails: if this is ai art one cant be called the artist.It is really a mash up of art others already drew. having said that.For AI art this isnt bad. no 2 mouths,14 fingers per hand,4 legs or pupils outside of eyes here like so many ai garbage.

vsauce4: @Rick2tails: yeah thats basically AI right now, it collects data from multiple sources and jams it all together. And I highly agree - though I cant find the right words - AI should not be here, or should be very limited. It would be so boring and underwhelming if it wasnt done by an actual person.

vsauce4: @Rick2tails: In other words, there's no emotion... It's all machine lol. I would really hate to see that happen.

ThatGuyWithAKhajiitWaifu: I have toyed with AI generation and got some pretty good Katia stuff on par, but I decided not to keep any of em :p though its interested to experiment with.

Kibermozgai: @Rick2tails: I feel like tagging an artist still be a good thing to do, as long as ai tag still there as well, so nobody gets fooled. Since uploader and the one who actually toyed with gen could be different persons and because even with generated arts you can guess who was creating it by looking on the amount of details, used styles and efforts (or lack of it) putted to fix certain gen's messes. Let's says that author in that case is more like a quality control dude, who still have personal preferences and still could be distinguished from other quality control dudes. Saying that, just like some enjoy works of specific real artists some folks may prefer to see/hide works of a specific qcd standing behind crazy 8-fingers loving robot.

APayne1776_TheThird: Honestly don't mind AI Art. As long as you acknowledge that it is AI Art and you don't claim to have drawn it yourself.

Zargothrax: As far as I know, legislation regarding ownership of AI art goes like this: As an artist, you own the parts of a painting that were actually painted by you. If you use AI to generate a background, and then paint a character in front of it, then, legally, you'd be the owner of the character only. If you only made a single brushstroke on an AI art, then you only own that. And if there were no "manual" steps involved, then you own nothing. In other words, steps performed to alter how the AI generates the art, do not give any ownership to the person, regardless of how much work was involved (and if I'm wrong, I hope I managed to at least invoke Cunningham's law). As such, I'd also not list the "AI operator" under the artist as tag, unless they made significant changes to the art themselves.

We should also distinguish between "AI art" and "AI assisted" art. To me at least, "AI assisted" suggests that a large part of the painting (if not most of it) was made by a human. In other words, the AI only assisted.

Anyway, nice looking Katia. I've noticed it before, that most of the time, AI makes surprisingly pleasant looking lighting.

Snek_Inna_Tenk: Yeah, I’m going to give a hard pass on these machine-generated images on an art booru. Such things don’t belong alongside actual artwork, and any site that allows the two to mix is simply not worth using. I’m here to appreciate the work of actual human beings, not a deluge of mechanical sludge. Especially nowadays, we need places for art that we can actually trust, since it’s gotten harder to tell what’s real and what’s fake at a glance now.

vsauce4: desktop background maybe?

rollanan: ooooo this is a good one, no, a great one, and a great work to you!
