...a lot. i love making hovers/playing in photoshop.

sometimes i'll change eye color (which is easy), hair color (which is way tougher -- so normally i *just nudge the hue a little, e.g. making orange look red), mess with the tilt of the character, add in a bg if the pic was og whitespace, etc.

That said, you cannot compare reposting art without credit (wrong) to paying money into a company (that includes using a 'free' app/service with ads) that is stealing (actually stealing)
well tbf it's not stealing anything; read up on how the tech works. i encourage everyone who's anti-ai to do this, here's an article hitting the basics.

in summary though, if you general you don't want to read the article, and you don't want to do your own research: ai art tools mimic what people do. it (whatever model is being used) gets a prompt, checks its "memory" (training set), and tries to generate something that fits the prompt.

it's like if i told you to draw mickey mouse -- you're going to think of mickey mouse and draw him. are you stealing from walt disney? is it a moral wrong that you've seen mickey mouse before? of course not. same thing with ai

i think both ai art and writing are fine tbh. we (generally) don't get mad at people for imitating an artist's style or emulating the prose of an author they like. i think most people in the rpc have flat-out swiped sentences and theming and character archetypes they enjoyed for rp. why's it suddenly "bad" if the swiping comes from a program.

like yes i get that it's iffy due to the speed and lack of effort but it isn't morally wrong... it's about as morally wrong as me going "richard siken is cool" and aping his shit (i do this all the time) or thinking "hmm i think this artist uses color well" and coloring my work like they do

i want to say...~365 posts on an old old character. i'm currently at 0 lol (i am eagerly eying the interest checks currently up)

more recently (2022?) maybe......200 posts? later than that, 140ish (i'm pulling these numbers out of my ass). otherwise i tend to get to ~30-ish posts before i realize the site isn't for me/something otherwise comes up and i bounce

i've wanted to write a big bad's Baddest, most Trusting, most Long-suffering (but still) Loyal peon for a while now but it's rare to see villains in the rpc (and whenever they've popped up my peon-hood did not last for x y z reason)

maybe 2024 can be the year...*fist clench*

...also don't want to double post but i miss making gfx so much...*longingly looks towards the site teasers currently up*

hmm so tbh i hope rules that ban under 18 fcs don't catch on.....i got told twice last year that i couldn't use a vocaloid character (possibly because vocaloids are forever 14-16) and it grinded my gears.

i also dislike rules that are all "well this character has to LOOK like an adult for you to use them >:(!" because that is a.) vague as hell (i've seen people say something like this it's just rin kagamine resembles a child while using artwork that was basically that but with like, defined shading around the nose bridge or w/e -- and to me it's just an anime character) b.) a bit annoying as someone regularly id'd still despite being 24. young-looking adults are still adults....!

why not say 'no loli fcs' or something idk

I'll reuse archetypes and/or moral standpoints -- I loooove playing lawful [neutral/evil] bootlicker bigots -- but I try not to outright create the same character again, mostly because I like fitting a site's lore as strictly as possible.

If I do end up reusing a character, it's mostly because I think the site's plot-less enough to justify it (SoL). Or the og concept is so simple (e.g. assassin with low morality) that it could fit just about anywhere with some tweaking.
