Been a minute since the OC girls had a yuri pack, so here is a remaster-ish lmfao.
I say that because I took the original pack and completely redid it, but I wasn't happy with like 80% of it when I was finished. SO, I only kept like 3 poses from the original pack and completely redid the rest because I hate myself apparently.
I think it's just because it was one of the first yuri packs I did and so all the poses felt uh,stale? Compared to what I can do now. Some you can relight and really dress up, other's like I said I just wasn't happy with, which is why it took so long. I finished it and went to post and was like "Nah this ain't it" lol.
Which brings up ANOTHER point I want to discuss and something I've been thinking about.
1) I am taking a business trip this weekend, so I made the decision to not do any packs this week. I have a work laptop, but I won't be able to bring my setup with me (Tablet, stylus, second monitor, pose figures etc) and so anything I make would be with a hand tied behind my back. I already get in my head about the quality of my stuff , so it'd be better for me to concept out next weeks pack and work on those a bit (what I can do) in order to make those really pop.
2) This brings us to point 2, which is when that stuff happened with my family everyone was very supportive of me taking that week off. I don't want to say I was surprised because that's belittling in a way, to you guys. But I definetely had hangups about "I need to post every week or I die!"
So, i have an issue where I would absolutely love to do more comic-lite things for the girls. And also fanart. Yor X Marin's ongoing series is an example. As well as all the girls personal stories I had to put on hold when I started doing fanart because doing 2 packs a week made it very difficult for me to do.
I am able to do the things I do (mostly the yuri stuff) that you don't see other AI creators do (at least well) because I spend so much time in post editing things. I've said it before but on average a single girl pic depending on what it is can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours to complete. I get that other AI creators move at a much faster rate, and can pump out 75+ pics a day and some crazy numbers like that. But that's a difference in process. That's just writing a prompt, batching hundreds of pictures, and picking the best out of the bunch. I do NOT do that. I have an idea of what I want to make and essentially create a skeleton using AI, and THEN the real work starts of making it all pop and fit together.
And you don't see very many of them using the "fast food" process of AI as big as we are here, do you? xP
I'm not trying to dunk on your favorite creators. Simply explaining that what I do takes Time to create. I have to ice out a lot of ideas and pictures, shrink down the size of packs to meet my deadlines. And that's ok! Knowing what and where to spend time is part of the creative process, but I would like to create more complicated things.
All of this is to say that after everyone was so supportive during my time of need, I realize that having two weeks on occasion lets me do cool things. Morrigan X Albedo for example absolutely ROCKED because I had so much time to make it.
I'm not changing my schedule to posting every two weeks as that would be a major shakeup. What I will be doing instead is every so often, like once every month or two or so, is just take a week off. That way, I still make mostly as much as I am now, but then get to make REALLY cool things I can put an extra week into.
And that's it lol. So for the long rambling session to just say "hey guys occasionally I need a week" haha. Just wanted to explain my reasoning and how I came to that conclusion.
Since I'll have my laptop, tomorrow I will be doing a March Levi's fireside chat post. Where I ask for suggestions and requests and we can just talk about things. Way to fill the gap a bit.
Now! If you've made it this far, go enjoy the redhead and the blonde licking eachothers butts. xP I'll be around!
