No More AI - Plans for the future

Hello dear Patrons and Followers! 😎

This is a message to let you know that I've decided to drop the use of AI completely for the content creation as BDz. I thought it would make my life easier as an nsfw artist, but it seems like it made me lose my grip over time, forgetting about some core ethics principles, and it has damaged my image as an artist more than I thought it would. I received some very mixed feelings about The AI animations, no vivid reaction on the Milk Bearer chapter experiment. I know, a couple recent artworks relied heavily on AI (Leebee, Valia, Lika) and it will not happen again. I will go back to my original drawing style 100% manual, and find other ways to make my workflow more efficient, by using more custom brushes and textures in my drawing app, as well as hand-crafted 3D props for example (especially for the background). The Use of AI also made me lose my focus with this endeavor, because originally my plan was to build up a database of 3d assets to build environments both for the game and my artworks/comics. I will also go back to the manual animation method (which will be replaced by an animation player with the character creator in the future), but in this specific case, it will be every other month, because it is a lot of work and I want to make space for my other projects (world building, comics and, game). I tried to look for "better" ways to produce faster, but in the end it made me lose some precious time and myself in the process. The only AI use I'll do is with my other account (Chupitchupa) that is purely fap material; but for this here, my main account, my artist work, my Andromeda world, no more AI.

Veda Rhyz is officially the last artwork using AI (mostly background, textures for the lingerie and very soft use on breasts and nipples), from now on, all what I do as BDz will be 100% human made, and my soul will be in peace.

To sum it up, from now on I will revert to the (not-so) "old" way:

• Creation of around 3-4 artworks with BE variants per month

• Comics pages

• World building (concepts arts, codex, etc)

• App/Game development (immediate tasks being the app, then character creator and animation player)

• every other month: vote for the artwork to be animated + animation

The app is almost ready for the testing phase, i will release it for tier3+ patrons in the next couple days. once this app is ready I will go back to work on the comics full time (Milk Bearer part 2), while polishing the character creator. These past couple months I have thought long about some adjustments with the game, mostly with all the new races I wrote, and I need to rework the character creator accordingly. Most of the heavy work is already done (the mesh deformers, UI widgets, etc) I just need to rework the interface and combinations to comply with the various species, and rework the character skeleton rig. The game will be a chill top down (but with a cool camera close up mode) RPG exploration game with a building mode (build base, expand, milk farm, etc), combat system, procedural dungeons, with a bunch of naughty mechanics. The style will change for stylized to match my comics, I will ditch all the realistic assets to use my own, hand painted ones. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any suggestions and ideas!

More engagement from you guys: Once the character creator is ready, we will regularly do a character contest where you can show your best creation; from which I will chose create an official character in the Andromeda world. Also, with the app, its codex and interactive map, you'll be able to dive completely in the Andromeda world and propose ideas and stories to enrich the world.

I am deeply grateful to all of my patrons that stuck with me and kept supporting me during these past months despite all the mess. Thank you guys. 💖

That said, I hope you like these exciting news, and I'd be curious to know what you think about all this. I'll resume work right away 😊
