@OF29 Right this second, it looks like a few investors are in a lot of trouble. (Not the giants, just bigger-than-a-person funds.)Now, I am not an investor or lawyer, but *my understanding* is that because of the particulars of this specific case, the little guys are likely free from prosecution for securities fraud. But, more generally, this sort of bid to play up the value, if followed by selling out when the stock got high, would be pretty sketchy.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_and_dump

@OF29 Not likely. GME was susceptible because it was nearly worthless, and its future looked even worse. Apple is highly valued, is only looking up, and has true giants invested in it. The little guys don't have the combined strength to move it significantly.

@PowerOfSin It depends on the detail of my idea, and the preferences of the artist, if I know them!Sometimes I don't have anything more than "x and y do a lewd thing at school", or the artist asks for a brief prompt.Other times, I'll use an app like https://justsketch.me/ to fully pose what I've got in mind and tack on additional refs for clothing and environment details.It's mostly a question of how long the idea's been mentally cooking, and how invested I am in the characters.

@jellymouse I remember spending a couple of years utterly devoted to Morrowind, back in ye olde days. It felt vast and full of secrets to explore, the lore was sprawling and engaging, and they shipped the Construction Set with it! Oh, the hours I spent learning about modding!By the time of Oblivion, I no longer had the free time to engage like that. Ditto Skyrim, and likely TES6. I suspect they're lovely games along the same axes as Morrowind, but I'm not a person who can enjoy them anymore.

@PowerOfSin There's a limit, related to the display resolutions of the audience. If something gets drawn at 10k x 20k, that's gonna be downscaled something fierce, and any detail relying on that res is lost. By all means, use high res as a tool to smooth the lines, but feature size needs to be relatively large to survive scaling down to screens with 2160 vertical lines or fewer.Uploading the mega-res version is absurd, imo.

@PowerOfSin It's great for _drawing_! It's just useless or worse for _viewing_!

@poethewondercat IANAL, but pre-1964, it's likely public domain unless the owner renewed explicitly renewed it.

@Macfuffin I recall there was a famous author who once said they weren't interested in writing sex scenes, because writing porn was analogous to writing about plumbing.

@KisekiTemiro R34 of nearly-human characters should generally stick close to the original style, lest the result be mistaken for anything other than R34. It becomes less of a concern as you move further from humanity, towards races with unique features or completely different body plans.e.g. Au Ra, Viera, Hrothgar read just fine in any style, but the other races are too humanlike to adapt very far, although *specific* characters like the Scions could be okay.
