I learned the hard way that not all miniaturists are macrophiles oh well, at least they learned day 1 that I’m actually 4”

Oh… is there a story you’d be willing to share here

@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 haha don’t give up, I’m sure he’ll get it eventually!

My problem has always been searching for signs when in reality there were none. Good ol’ “I reject your reality and substitute my own” at work!

@Nyx Now that you mention it, I can see how it can really go both ways - fear vs eagerness.

For the record, I did prompt for an “eager” tiny, wanting to be picked up. Oh and that heart-shaped light on the floor was also prompted, amazing that the AI understood what I meant.

or naked with a collar

Okay I was too self-conscious to say it myself, but yeah

@Olo Well you’ve done it Olo - from now on I’m reading all your comments with your voice in my head lol

Seriously those themes are so far away from my comfort zone. Still found it interesting.

@littlest-lily I’m fine with viewing them on Deviantart. I mean, you could still post simple update notifications here, and just link to your WT/DA?

Not only symbolic… can confirm giants apparently love to drag us around on a leash.

Why do I feel slightly called out…

@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.)

@HHunter1 said in Her Paperwork:

I worry I’m putting effort into creating something while someone puts a few prompts into a program

My two cents : I still believe there is value to making it yourself. It’s like saying, ‘why bother painting this landscape on canvas if I can wipe out my cell and take a picture’? That was the fear behind the invention of photography last century, and digital photography more recently (which I’m old enough to remember causing heated debates with ‘true’ photographers).

My take will always be that the act of creating the art, the actual process - brush strokes, words written, clay sculpted - are as important as the end result itself. Art and artist can’t be dissociated - the fact that a human mind and/or body was behind it has intrinsic value. What another person is using as a medium is irrelevant.

I do have a problem with selling synthographies, as it was trained on copyrighted materials for which the original artists weren’t compensated. But if we focus solely on size content such as what is posted above, honestly, it’s incredibly niche - a drop in the ocean of what generative AI is used for, and a harmless one at that. I mean, sure for us it matters, because we’re macro-/micro- philes. My real concerns are abuse of generative AI for media manipulation and fake news.

Disclaimer: Echodeck is a cool dude and isn’t selling his art, or hiding the fact that he’s using AI. Someone shared his work here without specifying (or knowing) that it was the case. So please don’t lash out on him.

Like peeling a hard boiled egg.

Or a little shrimp, hehe.

I don’t want to rant and rave about WH40K but I’ve been playing close to 20 years (+/- 25 if you include 2nd ed. Space Hulk). I bought, and sold, many different armies for many editions. Back in the days, I tried to paint my own minis. LOL. After that epic fail, I commissioned people to paint them, but now I have my own slave teenager at home who has infinitely more artistic talent than I do that does it for free.

My figurines collection started without me even trying, just slowly bought over the years, collector editions games and blurays. I have superheroes, video game & anime characters, all in the 4" to 12" range. I should get my collection properly displayed, still a bit so self-conscious. Speaking of, the next thinkg I’m after is a Phicen doll, they are 10" high which is still too big for my taste but apparently their “skin” is made of this soft silicon which feels human to the touch, and seamlessly covers their entire body (again, feel free to judge me people - I’m still really curious to hold one! )

Those were very interesting to answer, thanks!

@Olo Love it! Maybe you should add an indication in the title that AI was used to enhance the image? It’s a very good base 3D Render that was post-processed using AI “inpainting”. EpicIllusionist is the master of this technique, I’m actually delving into it for other projects of mine, using Blender or other 3D software as a base then pushing the realism with inpainting.

Regardless, thanks for sharing his groundbreaking work.

@Olo said in Do you have any size kinks or interests that you feel are unusual?:

What might be challenging for someone of the SW perspective is to realistically model how a male Biggo who never thought about being attracted to a SW before might “come around” to it

Hehe like I said, I’m fully conscious of my own bias, I was talking from my own perspective as a certified, unrepenting microphile. Honestly it probably wouldn’t take much to get me going when in company of a tiny lady, that’s for sure. Shrinking is already so hot in itself!

But the point you mention is close to home as I’ve always liked to imagine the SW as a normie, not as a macrophile. But deep down inside, I hope she comes around to liking the experience of being smol. Part Stockholm syndrome, part self-discovery, and part because… I’m such a nice giant.

@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.
