@skysayl YES. I have watched that one… too many times lol. It’s still one of my favorite, but it could have been even better. I’m blown away that top talents got together and decided to create a G/t animation, out of all possibilities.

The original plan was for the woman to actually shrink, but the setting in which the woman looks like a cockroach was added later:

“Originally, the story was about a woman who became small and fought enemies that appeared in the small world, such as cats, hamsters, Roomba and even cockroaches, but the relationship between the three parties (boyfriend, woman and enemies) became too complicated, so the cockroaches (enemies) and the woman were combined.”

So the whole Kafka-esque plot was put together after they couldn’t make the original SW idea work. Sad, since I would have liked to see her shrinking out of her clothes in such a nice animation style.

I don’t understand Japanese but there’s also an hour long interview available here:

Well holy shit… the entire Robotech / Macross saga is coming to Disney+

@Aborigen No problems, size identities can be complex to navigate. I know I have no desires to grow or be a literal giant, I only want to be huge relative to the shrunken woman at my feet.

I also know some ladies that prefer to be normal sized with said literal giant, which is also completely valid. I think your questions were open enough that we understood the assignment regardless.

I don’t know if you’ve seen Jaxon Sorby’s “Small Molly”, but he created a few sketches and animations which reminded me of this. Here’s a comparison between his work (left) and to the right a reference sketch from 20min Walk from Nishi-Ogikubo Station…

I’m a huge fan of his work, have a look : https://www.instagram.com/lumber.jaxon/

yay, your dream came true, you shrunk! Time to go find boyfriend and–

… “and”? AND what!?

I love how you think though! First thing after being shrunk? Must. Find. (now) Giant boyfriend.

Special shout-out to foreverlurk for putting this story on my radar in the first place

Well, from now on I will make it my duty to forward you every one of my favourite SW stories and hope you’ll work your magic. Thank you so much!

And now…

Thank you so much.

It’s so interesting that you bring up Freud because that was actually one of my fears when I first thought about going to therapy. I’ve studied him when I was younger and I was worried that his ideas were still being used. I’m much more a fan of Carl Jung, but that’s another story.

Here in Canada, at least in Quebec, CBT is by far the most used method. My therapist main area of expertise is with PTSD for Canadian Armed Forces personnel, where CBT has shown to be greatly effective.

@tiny-ivy said in Depression and Size Kink:

If you’re finding that this kink is too troubling, you can put it down and walk away for as long as you want. It will still be here for you if you ever want to pick it up again, after a period of time of you focusing on your mental health.

That’s the thing… I’ve already tried to put it down in the past, and the truth is that I simply can’t. It’s not a switch I can turn off, it’s a huge part of my sexuality wheter I want it or not. I thought that I could live without it and it only led to even more frustration and isolation. I realize not everyone with the fetish has this level of intensity, but that’s just my own experience.

@littlest-lily What… me, moi, having “ulterior motives”? Never!

@Olo When I saw this I was really this close to posting it on GiantessCity. Not sure if they would appreciate that kind of humor.

@BigCuddlyGiant While it’s still impressive tech, I feel Luma was way overhyped (they cherry picked the videos in their demo).

What I would like is to be able to give keyframes and let the AI interpolate the render in between (yes, I’m thinking of a shrinking sequence, of course )

I did more tests here but I don’t think the tech is quite ready yet.

Just a little something I saw on my Twitter (or X, whatever) feed:

“Maintenance Dusting of Michelangelo’s ‘David’. Every two months, Eleonora Pucci, in-house art conservator at the Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence cleans the 17ft-tall statue of dust and debris using a backpack vacuum and synthetic fibre brush.”

Now even marble statues are getting more SW action than I am

Some more playing around with perspective and making the AI understand the concept of size difference… not that easy sometimes, but rewarding when it does.

@Olo licking is fine but…

Hello, time for some new gens from the past week. I’m working on getting better expressions on characters, also better perspective and lighting. Just sharing some here in case you don’t follow my DA.

First I want to share a fanart I did based on an early chapter from @littlest-lily 's amazing “Rain” series. I’m reading through and I already know I want to do more scenes, some will be quite a challenge but it’s really rewarding once a prompt gives you what had in mind.

This one I liked very much, but of course since it’s M/f I once again got a lot of hate. Some guy went ballistic in the comments and my DMs, I tried to explain what projection/self-insertion was. Don’t know why I wasted my time. Thankfully, the tiny cavalry came in to support me ( including @SmolChlo thanks!!!)

Here I was going for a much smaller size while keeping the details and the proper sense of scale.

This may be the one I’m most proud of…

More on DA, of course. Thanks for watching!

PS: Forgot to add something about my “looking-at-my-hand” quick fix - I tried VR w/ some size interaction recently and, while I don’t want to overhype it or anything (there are still some limitations), it’s the closest thing I ever experienced to that dream. I think everyone should give it a try!

With the VR tech only getting better, it’s going to be a wild ride in 5 or 10 years…

@Olo wow, he’s so good.

That position always seemed so painful to me, like her arm could get discolated or something

Like on the cover of “Small World” :
