damrok4321: I thought i might join in on the fun.

Rick2tails: this is lovely

Makkon: very cute!!!

Jig_Bigga: PRETTY!!!!!

i find it funny how everyone is drawing her fully naked, even without her painted undergarments

TheGibusGuy: I love that diva pose.

bluedraggy: Yes! We've started a new theme! Very nice.

NewFace: Say what you will about AI, but it has a lovely way of pulling a community together

Radiocaster: @NewFace: To be fair, most of us pulled together to dunk on it

SilentOrbweaver: I like the style and her face here, simple and pretty :3

Jig_Bigga: GOOD LORD SHE’S A BEAUTY

Makkon: hahaha yesss!!!

Rick2tails: one good thing about that ai crap pic is we got a bunch of cool actual fan art drawn!

bluedraggy: And more to come I happen to know! (not from me) Also, can I just say this is kinda awesome. Lineless is my dream. Someday.

TheGibusGuy: Mmmm, very high riding. I love the shading too!

Jig_Bigga: I sorta kinda absolutely definitely positively need this printed out and hung on my bedroom wall

Zargothrax: Epic

Makkon: fantastic!

SilentOrbweaver: ooo, moody

Radiocaster: https://www.newgrounds.com/dump/draw/5005f9adbebdd799171c71af632d4051
Katia hides her fear by being caught in the moment, impressing her magic prowess on those who look on. Quill-Weave hides her fear with her expert poker face and steel-forged responsibility. They thing they're scared of is eachother, by the way.
For some reason I keep thinking of evil Quill-Weave as being like Willy Wonka, but instead of making chocolate, she makes laminated pineapple carcass
"Along came a spider that sat down beside her and said 'What's in the bowl, bitch?'"

TheGibusGuy: Wizards and wine, how fancy!

NewFace: Are we going to need a new tag for this outfit?

SilentOrbweaver: Yes, the Artificial Cloak. Ah, and it's a pretty neat drawing, good job! :3

Jig_Bigga: @bluedraggy: i will be patiently waiting for that

damrok4321: In my opinion, if it's AI, then yeah it should not be on the booru.

Jig_Bigga: @damrok4321: Agreed. Someone on our unofficial prequel discord server rightly pointed that fact out, but I wanted to see what everyone else thought of it before i started pointing fingers, lol

Radiocaster: It's certainly got enough complaints to warrant it, the people hath spoken and all that schnazz

NewFace: I think it ought to be FilthyPaladin's decision, if anyone's

Makkon: I think considering genAI has glutted the entire internet of creative work, it's more of a community decision

Radiocaster: FP hasn't been active here since 2019. Wouldn't surprise me if they don't even know about it. I think community opinion is important too in this case; don't think I need to reiterate how I feel about it, anyway.

bluedraggy: We'll have to await a decision from Kaz and/or the monitors. I know they're aware of it. But it's a decision with long range implications and I'm actually glad they're not just hip-shotting a decision. Also, as I've said before, let's not crucify the poster. He could well have not been aware of its origin - plus afaik there's been no official 'No AI' policy here that I'm aware of.

Makkon: yeah I agree with bluedraggy on all points

sodasuccess333: BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE HIP MADE ME CRINGE SO HARD

TheGibusGuy: Her little pointy teefs are cute!

Rick2tails: everything about this is cute

bluedraggy: Can I reasonably be expected not to express thanks to the "AI" artist that sparked this protest? Thanks Kuro! Distinctly Kuro and distinctly happycutesexy.

NewFace: I'm pretty pleased with the consequences of that one post myself

Radiocaster: Ehh, I can't possibly know what the motive was behind that post, so I don't see why I should give praise to it.

APayne1776_TheThird: It sure is nice to see the community come together. :)

Makkon: really cute!

Robbyn: Despite having fur covering her parts, she's still naked.

TheGibusGuy: Awwww, what at tease!

Rick2tails: she knows what shes doing XD

bluedraggy: Awesome! Thanks for the work Robbyn.

Jig_Bigga: That little blep is too fucking cute

Makkon: haha that's quite a pose!

NotGodOkay: Katia as a Nitt from my Work In Progress comic Among The Ruins.

TheGibusGuy: Oh dear, life seems hard for this universes' Katia.

Tigran_Bro: Yes man! look forward to read your comics fully

NotGodOkay: ere

Makkon: the recent updates have had me feeling in the mood to draw depression cat. I browsed through the visual catalog and drew some of the frankly brilliant poses by Kaz and Cider

TheGibusGuy: I want to cradle her in my arms and comfort her in the rain.

Rick2tails: good work here!

Zoltier: the cat sifts through the bucket of slop

Zargothrax: @Makkon: And me seeing your drawings helped me into the mood of drawing her.

Bokdan0: Prequel has really nice art, good work on those Makkon!

TheGibusGuy: I would like a very, very tight hug with her.

Rick2tails: also it being a long long hug would be nice

bluedraggy: She'd probably appreciate a nice PLATONIC hug! :)

I looked all through the comic to see if I could find an example of her smiling. The closest I found was her little smirk from her demonstration when she revealed she didn't have an assistant - that it was actually telekenesis. Frankly Katia just doesn't smile much. (Granted she doesn't have much to smile about often!) So I did my best to give her one but not make it look too weird. I think a happy Katia is something we need more of. But then... Sadcat is kinda the subtitle so I doubt we'll get much from Kaz.

bluedraggy: I think this'll work...

NotGodOkay: I'm gonna post an opinion here right now. I think that AI art can be used for getting a design to work with. You never know what the system can come up with so it's an endless amount of base art. Again. My opinion.

Makkon: @NotGodOkay: I think AI art is fundamentally compromised because of what it took to get this kind of technology. it's got a usecase that really is not necessary, nor is there a strong demand for it. the results you get are often the most mathematically average and therefore generic it can give you, and it poisons the well. if you're looking for references and inspiration, primary sources such as other artists work or real-world reference will always be superior (which are getting harder to find now, specifically because of the proliferation of AI).
fact of the matter is, genAI does not need you to come up with reasons for why it should exist, because it shouldn't exist. that's my opinion, coming from a professional artist who has worked in the art industry for over 15 years, and who has seen first hand the overwhelmingly negative impact this tech has had. I hope, if anything, this can inform your opinion at least a little bit.

NotGodOkay: @Makkon: It makes sense now when you mention it. Forgot that it was learning from others and are keeping new artists from learning real art. I knew someone in the fetish community who did AI art who edited it later that I tried to learn real art to. They denied my suggestion on simple art, so I'm thinking that AI had taken over them completely. It seems like the next generation of artists is getting to the worst. Not only that but AI is mostly for porn.

KNOWNvictor: Found some time after work to sketch a Katia!

PuChiPi: I see she got a fresh coat of paint on the ol' painted underwear. Green must be the new brown!

Rick2tails: cute sketch

TheGibusGuy: I love that look she's giving me.
