This is another result from ToonCrafter, an AI frame interpolator, this time fed with panels from the opening scene of Lighter Chains Volume 5. There's some weird bits of course, but there's a lot of potential here for automating the "boring" parts of an animation where you just need some blocking and idle animations.
As a storyboarding aid, this can also show what amount of limited animation you can get away with - some of the shots work surprisingly well.
I've had some interesting results upscaling the frames from this in stable diffusion, but I want to see if doing some quick fixes to the animations or training a lora on the source panels can help things.
Well prepare to sit wrong because I have tried several image-to-video AIs I'll be posting the results and my thoughts this week.
The goal isn't to make the best finished work right off the bat, but to test the technology and see what it can do - good and bad. Part of learning a new tool.
I think to plebs like us the face in these sketches probably causes too much of an uncanny valley reaction. I reckon that helps explain the vote count, along with jlv61560's excellent point about bias.
This may be a version of "confirmation bias" in that most people tend to like the first version of something they see, and see other versions as being "less good" since they are mentally acclimated to the first version. Really all three are pretty good, but like many, I voted for the first version I saw as being just that little bit "better."
Of the options given, I selected "given as ransom" as I thought that it was the most-humiliating of these indignities for our hapless protagonist to be forced to suffer. Close second plotline for me is the "estranged twin sister"
I have an option-7, however, where our protagonist turns out to be a bodyswapped peasant boy (late adolescent or early young adult) who works a very lowly laborer job, like: ditch-digger; chimneysweep; shoeshiner; maybe even a beggar. One day, he sees this princess carriage go by and catches a glimpse of her peering between the curtains in her window at the working class surroundings passing her by with a disgusted look on her face. Filled with bitter resentment, he mutters to himself, "Why can't I be royalty? They have such easy lives and get everything handed to them without having to work for it and every whim met at the snap of a finger.
Not long after this scene, this princess' carriage is overtaken by an angry mob of peasants and members of the working class who stage a revolt, taking her prisoner. Later that night, hours after hearing of this news, our protagonist goes to sleep with a s***-eating grin on his face, only to wake up the next morning as this captured princess
If my Engagement level membership status allows for it, I'd like to request a "deleted scene" from this S.M. issue wherein we see Torrin fucking an especially girly looking Alison doggie-style (like he is here), but he's got handfuls of her pigtailed hair clutched in his fists, which he yanks back on with every punishing thrust, causing her enormous tits to jiggle comically on her chest
Q&A @theAdmin:Is it lore-accurate to assume that this image of Alison is showing her swallowing cum for the first time and discovering that she loves the taste (a sensation reinforced by her collar's affect on her still-feminizing brain via psychic reprogramming)?
I'm currently writing a story about how someone from our plane of existence ends up in Mistress' plane of existence. He ends up in a similar situation to Allison
Some weird stuff going on with the fingers there, and, at the end of the day, I agree with Banner. Overall, I almost always prefer your art to the various AI renderings.
It's gotten to the point where the sketches are so old that I don't think they're very good, even more so for "the summoner's sex" comic. I guess I like to save the worst content for my patrons.
This is amazing. The sense of tension, the overhead shot as he twists around trying not to change, the pressure of getting smaller and more feminine. Amazing work - and the sound design just makes it pop and feel so sexy and horrifying :-D
This is super hot! I love the expressions as she's crawling up to his cock and in the final panel when she is looking up at him! Is this one of your older unfinished pieces or a new WIP?
I found this color version of the character design and the previous sketch ending page that I never posted. It's a little rough but I'm not going to fix anything because it is so old.
Tacking it on as a bonus page to the comic so all of this character is in one place without needing another character tag.
