@Technomage said in Foreverlurk's AI artwork:

These images are fantastic, I’m curious about when and how much the censorship could be avoided, so verything can be tweaked to explore interaction in them (that’s where the good stuff is at )

Thanks! Censorship can be avoided on DALL-E but it’s hit or miss. Also, what works today can be patched next week, as it’s been the case since the very beginning.

Tweaking is the best approach, using inpainting to replace details in the scene. That’s where Stable Diffusion helps.

If you’re asking about interaction, that’s the real tricky part. AI doesn’t like ANY display of affection, so you have to use what I call “legalese” to explain what you want WITHOUT directly saying it. For instance, they’re not “kissing”, they are “tongue-interacting”, your honor. It’s like a mini meta-game of its own hehe.

@Olo Same goes for experimenting things outside one’s comfort zone, that’s often how you can grow (no pun intended). Which is also close to my own definition of art in general : does it make me feel something? Am I enthralled or disgusted?

The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference.

@SmolChlo You’ve unlocked a memory - I did the same with my sister’s beautiful edition of Alice in Wonderland, a French version with gorgeous artwork. I borrowed it secretly, reading the shrinking scenes and looking at the pictures. Forgot to put it back one day, got that look from my sister which made me panic… like, she knows !

(My old pre-internet secret stash of SW stuff would be a gold mine. The struggle was real.)

@SmolChlo Why, yes, I’d very much like to engage in osculation with a female individual experiencing a reduction in bodily dimensions!

@protect-tinies said in Side effects:

That’s the thing about having a fantasy that’s physically impossible.

Those were very interesting to answer, thanks!

@protect-tinies I can work my way around the censorship with my understanding of OpenAI’s tech, as frustrating as it can be sometimes. That being said, I’m not against some safeguards and regulations in AI image gens and most of my work is SFW anyway. I just hate it when it considers “size difference” as a policy breach.

I’ve had a look at Gab before and that’s a disgusting alt-right / neo-nazi site. I’m not touching that with a ten-foot pole.

That’s a nice solution, much simpler to implement than actually knowing a complete language. Even the terms used for descriptions in English might change as the understanding grows (ie. “giant captor” --> “giant savior”)

@blehb said in Language barrier:

For example: The tiny woman stared up at the giant captor, fighting back tears as she clasped her hands together and softly said “Ni nathathol?”

My Sindarin is a bit rusty but during the solar eclipse last week, at totality my daughter turned to me and said “mornië alantië!” which made me tear up a bit (and a very proud father lol)

@blehb I’m dedicated to the Adeptus Mechanicus, as a software engineer I can relate so much to their rituals and their near-hopeless fight to maintain in working order technologies that are now beyond comprehension, with all traces of documentation having been lost to time. They really do require quasi-religious maintenance, hehe.

I do hope the TV series portrays a lore-accurate view of this universe.

@Deedee said in What celebrities would you want to see more of in sizekink content?:

More than once I imagined myself as one of those little models for sale

Minis can be quite distracting/triggering, and I’ve recently discovered that this was a rather common thing for size-kink-gamers.

@blehb said in Shrinking Abilities:

Having more content to enjoy is a lucky thing!

True, that’s why I envy bisizual switchers, makes it that much easier to find new content!

@blehb said in Shrinking Abilities:

But I’ve read opinions in the past where people say it’s seeing the shrinking process itself that does it for them

Oh believe me I know! You’re talking to someone who was banned on The Process Forum because I had posted media w/ no process in it.

Should have known with the forum’s name but I didn’t think they were religious about it. To be fair that was 15+ years ago, the admin was a bit of a dick, and SW was only just tolerated back then.

@blehb said in I feel like 'unaware' tends to be pretty uncommon in M/f. What is everyone's opinions on it?:

We know we can push a big’s buttons and they’ll still be gentle and respectful in the end. It’s a symbol of how much we trust you.

Awww pshhhshfhffftf (sound of this giant melting from the wholesomeness) Always loved the idea that I could somehow be that worthy of her trust in spite of being able to end her anytime by accident. Definitely not a level that can be achieved overnight. Part of the reasons I always thought that first interactions with a SW (once discovered and aware of her presence) would be awkward as hell for me, in spite of my inner desires.

And discipline, well… depending on what you have in mind, that can also require a great deal of trust on both sides. But that’s another story.

@littlest-lily said in I feel like 'unaware' tends to be pretty uncommon in M/f. What is everyone's opinions on it?:

he’s legitimately worried and fretfully searching, I love those moments

Micro can definitely be scary for both the SW and the giant! “Where is she!?!” and panicking at the thought that even moving to search for her could potentially be fatal. The utter relief of identifying the moving speck on the ground

As for bug-sized woman being mistaken for insects, I could see it happening under some circumstances, as our brains would probably go for Occam’s Razor : it’s just a strange bug. It depends on a lot of factors, for instance if she’s wearing clothes (and what colour they are), the speed at which she’s moving, the context (ie. is she on the ground outside, or on an office desk, etc). I used to think “no way I could mistake her for a bug” but VR showed me otherwise and now I’m not so sure

@miss-lillipants Nice, I figured it was something like that, but you can’t stop my G/t-rotted brain from seeing sizey stuff 24/7.

@BTbutcher said in Re-Homed:

It’s funny how the photo manips that take the least amount of editing usually turn out the best

Also true for my own work, I’ve noticed! Some I’ve spent hours tweaking manually are barely noticed, while others I just threw out there haphazardly got all the praise.

@blehb said in What are your favorite clothing items for giants/tinies?:

@foreverlurk If it’s cold outside, without the proper clothing she won’t want to leave. I know the tricks you all play!

We’re really that predictable, uh? Glad to see your wits didn’t shrink with the rest of ya!

While I stand that my statement that makeshift clothes melts my heart, I don’t think SW two inches tall or under should even concern themselves with clothing. They’re too tiny to be properly seen, and so small they shouldn’t venture outside or anywhere it’s too cold. Besides, I imagine any materials would feel rough and uncomfortable at that size.

@SmolChlo Thank you for sharing your experience. Yes, I think you’re right - if I want to understand myself, I can’t be serious about this and not bring up the fetish. I’ve always thought there was no real explanation to its origins. I’m not so sure anymore. Perhaps I’m just afraid of what I’ll find.

I can’t explain why it amplifies my feelings of solitude and melancholia. Paradoxically, indulging in sizey stories, comics, or videos is also the biggest dopamine (and sexual) rush I can experience. “What nourishes me, destroys me.”
