Topic: Experiment of Hyperpopularity
Once again, amounts of Views, Favorites and Watchers has been DOUBLED. Again. Even a single day with 40 images released in 16 hours, even when temporarily softbanned after that - still got me another update up to new heights. Pretty incredible. Everybody may hate me for that, yet they can't deny that what I am doing is for the best of whole community. My actions show the truth. My watchers show the truth. And a lot of people here, especially aritsts, are still living in their illusions. They need a high-quality reality check. From neuroartists like us. Master plumber is a nice guy. Master 3d-animator is a nice person. Why then pretty much most of artists is a psychos then? All those guys, plumber, animator, jeweler and artist posess a unique skill that they are good at, but only artists have such overinflated ego...
Topic: An ol' faithful GPU joined the cause!
I got myself two essential things for Generation. One is - RTX3090, with whopping 24 GB of VRAM. This much VRAM allows me to load and train any neural network, including latest SDXL (winch used 16 GBs of VRAM, daum!). It also allows me to run 3 networks at the same time, without wasting time to change between them. Now, we wait for SDXL to be trained on e621 dataset... Second is - 2TB SSD. For storing all those datasets and neuromodels. Both of those things allow me a wide variety of actions. That includes...
Topic: S T R E A M I N G!
Yes, I've officially joined Streamers League. I may be not as entertaining as youtube favorite monkey idols, but I hope to teach... and learn myself in meanwhile - how to actually create pieces of Art, using AI. Most of my streams is somewhat boring, but I'll work on that.
Topic: Stolen Souls is not really popular... or are they?
Well, when compared to realistic images, even with 200 Watchers, not many art pieces generated by Stolen Souls got their popularity thresholds. They are like long-term investment rather than short burst of Watchers/Favorites. However, that's precisely why I'll continue to make them. In the long term they will help tremendously.
Topic: Unchanging Popular systems...
So... if mountain won't go to Magomed, then Magomed will go to the mountain. I am making Archives. A place where all pieces will be stored. Where all knowledge will be kept. It will cost me, of course, but it wouldn't be that much for what I am about to do. I am about to spawn much, much more Neuroartists...

Academic Requester: Current state.
Vetoed Requests this month
None!
Currently In Queue Requests
* One that asked for a Male Canine, Hiding Behing Rock.
Yes, it was another month that I've missed this request (but I honestly remember about it!). I still haven't figured out how to manipulare foreground objects. I still hope to.
* One that asked for a Rocket Raccoon on spaceship bridge.
Yeah, I still haven't forgotten about that. Actually tried this one on my first stream, but without LoRA, Rocket looks awful. Like a simple beast/raccoon. I want to keep his character, so it would take more tries.
* One that asked for a Salazzle.
Well, I might as well turn it into YiffyMix v3.1 tutorial, or, even better, a mixed models tutorial. Just you wait.
* One that asked for Lucario lying on back on huge beach ball.
Still same problem as Male Canine, actually. AI doesn't want to make foreground object of this size. But it is fixable, just requires time.
* One that asked for Feral Floatzel-Typhlosion Hybrid
Still can't make this hybrid look GOOD. It makes just shiny (brown) typhlosions, without any other things from Floatzel. But there is a light in the dark - a V-Prediction. Maybe it will help next month.
* One that asked for Feral Female Light Fury/Sisu Hybrid
This one is more interesting every day. I saw some interesting inspiring pictures, so I hope to experiment next time.
* One that asked Lucario in Zygarde armor
Idea is the best, but AI lacks memory for that. I'll try some things, but can't guarantee it in nearest future.
* One that asked for AuroraTabi
Still same problem as last month.
* One that asked for Legiana (Monster Hunter), female and Lugia, female
Still same problem as last month.
* One that asked for Feral Female Absol
Still same problem as last month.
* One that asked for Feral Herm Dragon
Will try eventually.
* One that asked for Antrho Female Pepper Clark (from Littlest Pet Shop)
This one probably would require LoRA. Would be a good guide on how to make learning datasets.
* One that asked for Meicoomon
Needs Lora, probably.
* One that asked for Matatabi from Naruto
Needs Lora, definitely.
* One that asked for two snow leopards
Will try
* One that asked for Lollo from Star Communicator (female bunny, anthro)
Also, probably a job for LoRA
