Mod Onhold Imouto! Life ~Fantasy~ Color Mod [v0.90 B] [Steam] [Daseson]

[Daseson]

Hey guys,

Well, today I wanted to post that my motivation to continue with this mod is really low because of everything that's happened. I can't even share my progress for fear of it being stolen and remade with AI.

And now I see that this AI mod is also coloring the kitsune images... so... I guess I'll put this mod on hold until I figure out what to do with it, since my current feeling is that I'm just wasting my time when someone else is doing it faster and with equal or better quality than I am.

So... if the creators of the AI mod want this thread, please let me know so I can ask the site staff to give them ownership.

I think you are seeing more enemies than necessary now. But i think you should step away for a bit regardless. I can see how hurt you were back then and its probably difficult to recover to the drive you had in the beginning. Just understand that people are still relying solely on your work and there is still no one coloring new pages, (even with ai).

Ai thread has been basically dead since last drama half a year ago. The only progress has been by Time Killer1981 who decided to add and color the ears to the kitsune variants of already existing colored images (without the use of AI). And they are using photoshop and i dont see how this is "much faster" since its just about editing some existing stuff, but it still took them considerable effort. They are trying to help fill the gaps of what you started. They are trying to help, not steal your spot.

It is sad to see you unable to get motivation to work back, but im also not blaming you if you dont. I am simply blaming the direction of world obsessed with AI usage is going with no respect to real artists.

Thank you for your efforts until now!

Please don’t give up and keep going, because you can see it yourself: they have to steal your work for their AI stuff to function. They can’t do anything else but steal. They rely on machines because they simply can’t do it themselves and because they’re impatient.


Please don’t let them bring you down. Stay strong, and I really hope you continue. Your mod for Imouto Life Monochrome was absolutely breathtaking. What you created there was beautiful. Please keep going like that. I really want to have your mod and your other creations, because what you’ve accomplished is truly amazing and incredibly beautiful.


I also want to help you so you don’t have to stand alone. I even offered you a Discord server that’s already fully set up. But please, don’t let the AI win. It makes me sad that AI can do something so awful.


If you stop now, we will never again see such beautiful work from you.


Please think about it again. I really hope you won’t quit. ❤

I usually lurk, but I do want to say something.
As they say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, as I was wondering about saying this for a while but I think you needed to hear this Daseson.

Still I can understand your feelings, as I draw in my spare time, and it can be rather un-motivating see all this AI art seeing as it is better then what I can make, as I have ideas but get a little over my head when trying to make them.

But the more I think about it, the more I realize one thing. That it always remains static, so it can only remind in the same place that it's always been unless someone feeds it something to copy, where the artist will always change, and learn something new, making each piece their own.

As it's a part of the process we make on our art journey.

Anyway, to make a long point short, it's okay to feel the way you do Daseson, so if you need a moment to think about what you want to do going forward that's fine, even if you need to drop this for a time and focus on something else to get back into a good headspace we won't blame you.

Still I do hope that you make the choice that's right for you, even if we don't agree with it in the end. As we all appreciate the work and effort you've put into both mods for the game.

Hope all is well with you and I'll be around lucking as usual after this...

I understand how difficult it is to see one's work blatantly fed into the slop factory that is AI.

However, Daseson, I would encourage you to create a simple twitter or a bsky before you decide to hand this thread to the person who's using AI.

I do not think that words alone can convince you. But I believe that you will be surprised in just how many of us who will immediately abandon this thread and follow you on wherever you choose to post your arts instead.

Hi guys,

When I was working on the Monochrome mod, I really enjoyed it, but when the update for that mod came out and I wanted to get back to working on this one, I couldn't find any motivation...

So I'm going to stop logging into the forum for a while. Later, I'll think about what to do with this mod that's caused so many problems...

Again, I'm really sorry for all the trouble I've caused.

Take all the time you need, and you haven't caused us any problems, please don't think that.
