It’s all yours, i don’t think i will return to DA.
I can’t simply take it - maybe I could credit it to “EpicIllusionist” or another nick of yours? Maybe just “… someone ‘who’ wishes to remain anonymous?” 
@Epic-Illusionist said in Yet another boring sw picture:
Wow! That is exactly what i wanted to achieve with comfyui, but it takes a genius like yours to come up with the right workflow! thanks!
So glad you liked it! 
I can’t accept all the praise, I’ve had a very good initial render to work with! I love how cleanly separated each elements where so I could nicely isolate and inpaint them accordingly. My spaghetti workflow isn’t that complex, but it’s a mess of created from random tutorials, half-arsed technical documentation and stuff to work around the limitations/bugs.
That got me thinking that, seriously, if I took the time to learn 3D modelling like Blender that would save me soooo much time from prompting and working around the “no-fun-allowed” filters. Maybe then I could be accepted as a “real” digital artist, too. 
Can’t wait for SD3. Do you have a DeviantArt, still? With your permission I would like to upload that piece, with full credit to you of course.
Here you go, I sincerely hope you like it! I kept the overall vibe, maybe now he’s a bit less excited than her being at the beach 
Btw I don’t know if you are waiting for SD3 too, it’s almost June and no news that doesn’t sound good. I pray they don’t go private / closed-source.
@Epic-Illusionist It’s not boring all at, sir. In fact, would you mind if I did a little tribute to your work?
I’ve been wanting to try a few new workflows in ComfyUI and that render would be perfect.

Hahaha, careful there miss, I think you’re drooling a little. 
Don’t know if you realise how similar we are but in opposites directions. Someone posted a nice SW artwork on DA and the girl was about 10-12" tall, everyone was like “oh perfect size, my favourite, etc”.
And I was there thinking "But what if… S M A L L E R 
(Meryn Trant’s voice “Too BIG!” /ref)
@littlest-lily How do you always manage to come up with such cute little scenarios? 
Now, I’ll have to hold back from endlessly raving about my love of mechanical keyboards. My father was a software engineer, and the sound of his old buckling spring Model “M” from the 80s still evokes Proustian nostalgia for me, with its clickety-clack-clack. 
@miss-lillipants Okay he’s not a “giant” in the sense we think of, but he’s still freaking SEVEN FOOT TWO (218 cm!)
And yeah I hate being baited by sizey book covers or promotional posters, which sometimes you can sort of understand why they went with the G/t symbolism (ie. power dynamics), but sometimes it’s like… what!?! There’s nothing justifying a shrunken girl on the cover lol
Speaking of, I’ve seen the new Minami-kun reboot posters and teasers and now I’m even more mad at the gender-swap

Linka and Wheeler are size relationship goals.
I guess you’ve heard of my trauma with that episode. Holy hell, what were they thinking including that in a kid’s show. My young mind had not even thought about clothes NOT shrinking. 
Start of puberty + secret size kink == Lurk’s brain going nova.
No Boundary is so freaking cute. I don’t understand Mandarin, but I understand the language of size, and it’s sooooo well done. The fact that’s she’s a powerful demi-god shrunk to a few inches tall makes it even better. I want a tiny lady to fall asleep against my palms… 
@coolguy69 YES! Knowing what’s going on in that tiny body and head of hers is… 
Kink aside, I would dream of being the scientist having to record what a women is experiencing as she’s shrinking. Hell even with the kink I’d be a super annoying giant “describe how I look to you”, “how does it feel when you get smaller”, or “are you scared of me?”. Give me ALL the details straight in my veins.
@giantmaneddie said in Foreverlurk's SW Collection:
@foreverlurk Yeah good news is I got those too, but yeah, we could set up a cloud drive once we archived everything. I do notice a lot of this is French Canadian dubs, I assume that’s the big difference?
Oh right, I’m Québécois so I collected a lot of those from QC or French sources.
Back in the old days, the copyright algorithms weren’t as good and using anything other than English was a way to bypass them. But not it’s more a personal preference since it’s my native language, and also because I know I can’t be the only Québ’ with a size kink out there and there’s not enough size content in French imho. 
@giantmaneddie said in Foreverlurk's SW Collection:
Which ones were taken down?
Mako Mermaids, To Love Ru (even censoring the nudity, it was blocked), Mini Ninjas, Spidey & friends, a couple from Worst Witch, that Russian Nutcracker version, and a bunch more which are blocked in random countries, like Totally Spies are blocked almost everywhere but the US 
It’s annoying because they’re available for a while, sometimes for a whole week, and then “BOOM” taken down without notice. I don’t have copyright strikes so far. Oh well, it’s still a backup for my collection even if they’re not publicly available.
@SmolChlo said in Tall and Short Make a Match:
Made me wonder if their insinuating that some people bury and ignore their genuine preferences for whatever looks good or is deemed acceptable by society.
This behaviour sounds adjacent to the Halo effect, which associates traits like being fat means you’re lazy, being tall means you’re powerful, being beautiful means you’re a good person.
Consequences of that unconscious tendency? There’s the height wage gap, where tall people make more money on average. There’s the beauty card that let you get away with almost everything. That sort of things might explain why some people prefer to have a taller mate (and, consequently, offspring).
@skysayl said in Tall and Short Make a Match:
I feel like it’s suggesting shorter women are preferable for flings.
Yeah, that’s a rather weird conclusion to draw from the data.
Also, specific to Canada but being short/taller than average height can vary by provinces, as those of British descent are usually taller than those of French ancestry (ie. Quebec has shorter men and women, by about an inch on average)
I wonder if they cross-referenced that with the average number of partners. To answer meaningfully a question like “do you have a preference for height” and “how long was your relationship”, you need to have had multiple relationships / data points. Otherwise it’s not statistically significant.
For instance I’ve only ever had three, maybe four “serious” relationships in my life, and while I can empirically say I have a preference for shorter women, but it’s not a dealbreaker. I wouldn’t turn down someone based on that alone.
