A new version of the AI I work with has arrived, which is great- it allows me to make some amazing content that would've otherwise taken far more time to create, or just impossible things (such as chastity cages, ass eating, many different sex poses, characters that are simply not recognized by the old version-> 2023-2025 characters, etc).
But with the new model - my current style that everyone is familiar with, doesn't give the same style as a result. This really sucks, and currently there's no good solution that I can come up with (been spending like 10 hours this weekend trying to recreate the style) ->1st Image is what I made with the new version - 2nd Image is quick recreation with old style.
Another example in difference -
Difference is a decent bit more apparent with original characters.
Victoria as example:
Looks very little like her. A quick solution is to do everything in the new version, and then redo the face in the older style - Which gets the old Victoria's look back (These are just quick drafts)This also works great if I want to do just the eyes -
Which leads me to the question- how do I proceed with this. There's a few options here:1. Stay with old AI version - this means the quality and possibility of images is far worse, but style stays the same. (I don't see myself doing this in the future.)
2. Do Images in new style, but redo eyes and/or entire face in old style (This takes more effort, but could be a good solution)
3. Try to recreate a style as close as possible to the old style (This version has been out for very little time, so it's possible that I might be able to get it close in the future)
4. Try to create a new style, that's even better than the current one (but also might not look like the current one)
For now I will keep posting stuff of the old version, but I can't stress just how much better the content could be on the new version, if style wasn't an issue. My current style took quite a few hours of figuring out, so I'd probably have to sink in quite a few weeks or months until I figure out something better If I do go down that path.
Currently my goal is to try to recreate my current style on the new version. If that doesn't work it'll most likely be option 2 if I can make it look good, all the while I try to see if I can find an extraordinary style that most people would be happy with. This new version of AI also allows me to create a style that's possibly much better than my current one, as I can use a larger mix of artists with more data.
