If you see an artstyle you like, some of those artists are actually dead cheap to hire ($10 a piece, though the bigger names can easily climb up to $500), and literally all of them will be more than happy to draw pure SFW.
Always good to support artists~
I don't know what you're looking for exactly but there's an SFW-only site with good tagging that might help. Example: https://e926.net/posts?tags=male+solo+feline+sword
Had a look at the first few posts just out of curiosity, and found, in order:
- puss in boots
- puss in boots
- puss in boots in pajamas
- big buff dude that's clearly gay porn but with clothes on (x2)
- housecat sized thing from the persona series
- neko version of a character from devil may cry
- licensed character from a konami game
- really cool tabaxi oc doing cool shit!
- puss in boots again
- tom from tom and jerry in a puss in boots costume
- whatever this is
- deadpool with what looks like an avali head
- another super cool tabaxi!
- puss in boots
- seven original characters in a row !!!
- klonoa
- puss in boots
bit of a mixed bag tbh, and I'm surprised it even did that well. I'm a huge fan of e621/e926 (as you can probably guess from the instance my account is on, lol) but it's not the first place I'd go for inspiration. For my two cents, honestly, as much as I hate Pinterest it's honestly probably the way to go here.
It is a bit of a mixed bag, yeah. There is a tag for tabaxi, but there isn't that much for that so I went with just "feline" as the example. Probably should've also added -puss_in_boots_(character) though.
It can be a huge problem. Thankfully, I've been using midjourney for character art for a little over a year now. It's nice. No porn or porn-adjacent art needed. Not that I have a problem with it, I just don't need it in my tabletop game.
AI art's obviously such a contentious topic for a lot of good reasons, but this is one of the few use cases I think is okay. Because I don't know about all of you, but I blatantly steal a whole bunch of art for the monsters, anyway.
Outside of the ethical issues behind the core technology in imagenet and LAION in the first place, and the ethical issue of scraping all the training data, and the ethical issues of replacing skilled and talented artists with robots built from their work...
Actually the more you think about it... there's a lot of ethical issues with Gen-AI.
Let's pretend we don't care about ethics for the moment. A situation like this is one where many people were going to just steal the art anyway.
One of the other problems with AI art is, it's low quality. Do you care about the quality of the art in the purpose you're using it for? - often for ttrpg monster art, people don't care that much, so it's a purpose that AI art can fulfill.
Agreed. I would feel terrible about it if I didn't just grab all my art from google/pinterest before AI.
I for one do not give a shit how many JPGs were shoveled into the draw-anything machine.
I just wish midjourney could do lamias decently, funny thing is if you try it with the bing dalle3 you have a much better chance of it working but thinks 90 percent of it is porn
And it's thanks to folks like you that I can hop into the mid journey discord server, search for a few keywords, and generally get an image close to what I'm looking for for free.
Thank you for making my magic the gathering token prints so much easier.
Stable Diffusion AI is pretty good at making furries without the porn part. Or with. I dont judge.
edit: and if you don't know how, hit me up in a DM, I can bang out some stuff.
Disclaimer: some furries might get mad that you'd use AI art instead of commissioning an artist, that said I'm not sure whether that would extend to people outside the community or not
Interesting. From my perspective, asking me to do it is commissioning an artist. Its just using a different toolset. I make lots of art using AI. Never made very many Yiffy before, but I could figure it out quickly. All AI does is change the workflow I have to use to produce art.
edit: Your downvotes have inspired me to use AI to make G-rated furry art. Thanks, Lemmy!
“an
ungodlygodly amount of furry porn”I was just about to ask, doesn't this imply that there is a godly amount of furry porn?
In the name of Bastet
Related: trying to find NPC art for a woman who isn't super sexy is borderline impossible.
Or find any art for an unnatractive PC/NPC at all. Or at least one that doesn't look like a supermodel.
Why is everyone hot?? Sometimes i just need an ugly pirate or something. Even the monstrous races all just look like attractive humans with a new coat of paint.
Yeah. When I need that I usually put words like old, matron, etc.
About the only thing I use AI image generators for is character creation.
EDIT: This is some of my early work. I rely on image prompts rather than word prompts.
Just turn safesearch on
Either e926 or e621 was supposed to be the Safebooru to the other's Gelbooru. But at a glance it looks like they're both full of porn. So I don't know.
e926 is sfw in the sense that it has all the art from e621 that doesn't have visible bits or gore. Expect a lot of extremely suggestive or outright fetishy stuff though.
e621 is the NSFW version
