I mean, it makes sense. Japanese people take baths, monkeys in Japan take baths. How did that happen? Well the monkeys still have Japanese people instincts because Japanese people are the ancient ancestors of white monkeys! So white monkeys still have ancient Japanese human instincts.

Focusing on high-quality, semi-realistic female CGI characters.
Don’t let yourselves be fooled by generic AI Illustrations. I want to show you the incredible difference between the low-quality content produced by spammers and scammers using AI, and the breathtaking, high-quality works that can be created by responsible and passionate individuals. These works are not something that any random person can produce with dirty prompts. I hope these images open your eyes to the kind of trash AI can generate in the hands of the average person, and what can be truly achieved with passion, dedication, and a lot of manual hand-editing by respectful people who don't want to abuse this technology.
Hello everyone, my name is Wolv. Since my childhood, I have been a great fan of artwork and characters. I have always been passionate about various forms of creative works, but until now, this hobby has mostly involved collecting pieces and supporting artists. It has always been my dream to create such images myself; unfortunately, I neither have the craftsmanship for it nor the time, as I have chosen video games as my profession.
With the changing times and the progress of technology, life has changed a bit. So why did I start creating AI images? Because I wanted to take advantage of technology to finally create the characters that no one else creates. There are so many characters in our universe that either receive no attention or are not created to the standards I pursue. In 2023, I began experimenting with creating AI images, but I didn't want to simply exploit AI; I wanted to distinguish myself by respecting the technology and creating the core of my images myself. This includes depicting characters in my own new interpretation. This doesn't mean just using LoRAs and automatically producing images; instead, I created them myself, with my own skeleton drawing, my own sketch, my own coloring, etc. I only wanted to use AI to assist with tasks beyond my limits, which is why I started using Stable Diffusion to refine details until I was satisfied with my results. The fact that I made my own implementations made me happy and satisfied, despite the considerable effort involved.
Funnily enough, after I decided to post my creations online in 2024, I received a lot of hate. It didn't matter how much time you put into your image or how much of it was created by yourself; the involvement of AI rendered the result worthless in the eyes of some, and you were seen as an enemy of society. This made me very sad and led me to question my efforts. The first question I asked myself was: Why spend so much time on something that leads to the same result? Why design the pictures according to your own convictions when you are punished for it anyway?
Although my pictures found approval among my own community, for which I am very grateful (thank you!), I felt the need to pursue an alternative direction. So, I went nearly "Full AI" because to 99.9% of outsiders, AI is AI, and if I can create something better with it, then I will do that.
Despite the "Anti-AI Movement," I will definitely not stop creating such images. Do you know why? Because these images make me happy. I enjoy working on them immensely; it gives me the chance to create things that would otherwise remain uncreated. What kind of monster would forbid someone from doing what makes them happy? We live in a terrible society filled with hate, war, envy, etc. Not allowing someone to do what makes them happy is despicable. I know that AI is an ethical gray area, and I tell you here that AI is not necessarily the problem itself, but the people who abuse it (for example, those crackheads who want to sell unedited AI images with three fingers for $15 or post hundreds of prompt outputs). The more I dealt with AI and saw what others were doing, the more uncomfortable I felt. I want to distance myself from those who abuse this technology.
I don't see my images as art, nor do I see myself as an artist. I don't want to be an enemy of real handcrafted art by talented individuals. I simply find immense joy in creating these images, love creating something beautiful, and aim to produce images that are "artistically" far above what average users produce with simple prompts. Therefore, you will never see me offering hundreds of versions of a single prompt on Ko-Fi or Patreon; that is not my world.
However, if you are convinced by my works, feel free to become part of my subscription model here on DeviantArt to get all my creations for practically nothing each month. I put an enormous amount of time into these works and would be very grateful to cover some of my expenses. Even though I deviate from my original concept, there is now more work than ever in my creations, and I'm sure you'll see this if you understand AI. I don't just post my images after a prompt; I edit them for hours until they have a quality that says, "Yes, this is an AI image," but also, ""okay, yes there was AI involved, but someone must have worked elaborately on this image, because the image certainly did not come out of the machine just like that".
So, do these images have no soul? Everyone can decide that for themselves. For me, when made right, they do, because the creative vision is still the central element. Of course, this cannot be the case with someone who uploads 30 images a day, but I want to give my original ideas a standard that is foreign to most in the AI era. AI is my creative toolbox that enables entirely new forms of expression and innovative artworks that would otherwise not be realizable, and there is nothing wrong with that. That's my incentive, and that's why I believe my images have value and are worth money. Every image I post is filled with hours of love, passion, and dedication. Images that could not exist if they were not created exactly like this. Images that someone can't produce if they promise you "100 variations" of an image on Patreon, because not every image can have such quality, and everything is just loveless spam to lure with quantity instead of quality, and that's not what I stand for.
I just want to do more of what makes me happy, and to put this time and work into it, I need support. If you share my views and my works make you as happy as they make me, I would be very grateful for your support. Thank you.
