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
“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
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.
e621 is the NSFW version
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.
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.
Check out my post history in the character art community here, I’m okay with shitty art for a home game, heheh. But yeah, I know what you mean. There’s usually some kind of uncanny overall feel to ai images. The eyes in particular never seem to look right, like there’s no intention behind them. Mercifully, the VTT I use has each tile only about 70-100 pixels wide, so as long as you’re not zooming in too close, the fucked up details don’t really stand out.
Our party has an oread inventor in the team whose token is AIgenned, and although she looks kind of weird, it’s not so jarring as to take me out of it at least.
This is my solution to the problem :)
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.
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!
