Jumping Through Pornocalypse Hoops: Generative AI Art
I think this article by size fetishist Aborigen (his thing is giantesses and little men) is a fascinating snapshot into the tricky process of generating fetish art while struggling with the porn-hostile terms of service and active filters built into so many generative art tools:
I don’t have my own art generator, so I can’t create some of the really gorgeous Size Fantasy work I’ve seen going up on DeviantArt (RedFireD0g) and Pixiv (AIBishoujo) and Instagram (elegantlyenlargedai, boneheader19). Instead, I have to accrue enough credits with Starry AI to hammer away at it and learn how to get around its ever-increasing safeguards against adult content, or run through the paces with Perchance, which is free but has no option for high-resolution images. OTOH, Pixlr does offer an AI-assisted image enlargement feature, so more options should be emerging in the near future.

While I can sometimes trick AI art programs into creating giant women through forced POV or low-angle shots, I absolutely cannot get them to insert tiny people into a scene. Instead, I have to create these collages. This is the kind of thing that anyone could do for themselves, for free. If you can’t draw, you can screw around for an hour and come up with reasonable images to collage together.
This one used the “Warriors” filter in Starry AI, though I had to put “weapons, armor” in negative prompts before I could begin producing scantily clad women. This one happened to come with a handy ledge for a tiny person to stand on, and I wasted too many credits in trying to get a reasonable image of a man in the same filter, in order to shrink him down for the scene. Not perfect, but again, all it cost was brainpower and time.
There are also a bunch of nude images that I probably shouldn’t post here, and while they don’t look fantastic they still look pretty good. My point is that if you really, really want to create giantess/tinyman fetish images, you can do so with free, publicly available tools. It may not turn out as great as if you’d actually learned photography and Photoshop or practiced drawing for 20 years, but if you lower your expectations, there are shortcuts.
As for me, I’m still playing with the Lucid-Creations client for the generative art resources in the AI Horde. It’s fun but I haven’t had time to get very serious.

I’m wondering how long/how many dollars it would take for a trained human to add the guy. Use the AI for the heavy *heh* lifting, and then have a human tweak it for a few bucks.
Honestly you could probably commission this kind of artwork outright for a few bucks on Fiverr. I suspect (extrapolating from my own circumstances) that a lot of the appeal here is for people who are intrigued by software tools that let them do — for the first time in their lives, and however badly — the things that artists do effortlessly, breezily, in the half an hour they’ve got while waiting for their rice cooker to ding.
True, the people at my work are sometimes surprised at what I can get done quickly, but then I’ve been doing this job for 15 years, it’s not That surprising that I’m good at it. My artwork skills are stuck in high school though :D
