Need a backup solution in case my uploads will be never approved. I looked recently DeviantArt where I remembered several year ago you can post NSFW, but in nowadays when I read a rules, they required to made that content as paid, but I don’t want to make it paid. Most of NSFW disappeared, so it’s clearly not a good place for that anymore.

DeviantArt allowes NSFW, but without erected penises (free).
Also you can use 'exhentai'.

I have only been posting my stuff on DeviantArt for a few days now, but from what I can tell so far, they are much more liberal than I expected at first.

There are no special AI restrictions. Nudity seems unrestricted. I'm not sure about intercourse and erection. I've seen some, but maybe that was from a paid account.

They don't seem to care about underage anthros either. I don't know if there are special rules for them, but I've seen some very young furries there already.
It's not like here, where you have to hold a passport ready for casually nude, drawn characters that look like they could still be seventeen and a half.

If you only want porn and bestiality, it's probably a bad alternative. But for sfw, nudity and a LOT more content variety with a bit of "artistic ambition" I find it great so far.
They also have 50% off memberships right now for a few more days. So, that's <50$ for a year.

Other than that, I have heard that Weasyl might be a good alternative.

Don’t care about making too young anthros that in theory is adult. If adult anthro looks like children, I will never post it. But some nice “size difference” will be missed here, because I don’t figure out how to make “size difference” content without small adult character looking like children

Not needed exactly intercourse, so I can post without it, but without erection it's sad. I like male demonstrating their power much more than females goodies. I even tried to make own version what characted hides under loincloth with same drawing design, because I liked that character and how it was drawn, but there is no version that I want also to see.

My images have been approved, so I'm staying here. The problem will be a small upload limit and long time for approval, but I need anyway some time to generate and pick last successfully generated picture anyway. Now I known that my generated images will not be a problem to approve with my current tastes. Upload limit still better than DeviantArt restriction on males that I really don’t like. No, I don't want to make it paid because AI was trained on many artists that does hard work on painting, so it's not fair to make my generated images paid. I spend much less effort on it than original artists that draws without AI. Also, like here culture environment even with horny images.

There's a solution to that moral dilemma: put more effort in... I don't know your creations, but on DeviantArt some people generate literally thousands of faulty, unfixed gens and sell each one for around 1-3$ or more. I see your point there. I find it crazy and greedy, too. Strange enough, those are the people with the most followers.

I spend hours, often days, on a single gen, until every flaw is fixed and all the details are satisfactory. You will not find any obvious errors in any of my gens (except a few of my very first ones). I actually care a lot about these images. I keep browsing them and still sometimes find and improve little details after months. Just now, I reworked some of my earlier posts from here before I uploaded them to DA.

Some of those spammers don't even seem to look at their output before they post it. I haven't found a single AI artist yet, who actually takes the time to correct errors. It's literally AI slop everywhere. No, I wouldn't take money for something flawed I generated in 3 minutes.
I put literally months worth of my time and effort into making all the posts for free for everyone, and I love doing it, but I wouldn't feel bad, if I should decide to make partial use of the many monetization options at generous prices on DeviantArt for future posts one of these days.

Of course, I am grateful as hell that furry artists have made furry AI models possible. But, after all, our lives are filled with conveniences invented by others since the beginning of civilization that we can utilize for free. You can't re-invent the wheel every time. We are all standing on the shoulders of giants, more or less.

Not in my case, you can anyway notice small errors in my uploads. So I don't want to charge money for that.

I watched what you uploaded and it's better for you not to watch what I uploaded because... It will be too horny and rough to you, someone also downvotes them because I guess they like cute images, but I mostly don't generate these. In terms of rendering quality what I uploaded looks decent, some small error may be exists.

Don't worry about my fragile, little soul. As a long time e621 and now e6ai user... I have seen it all... Every gaping abyss.

Good. You may estimate my rendering quality. I mostly concentrated on goodies, not on small details. I can sometimes cancel upload with already filled tags because at the last time I noticed that fingers looks too weird for example, but I never noticed that before before uploading.

Days? How is that even possible? Do you have a very old gpu? Can you link a gen that took you days to get right as a point of reference?

I have an RTX 2070 Super 8GB. It's not state of the art, but it's not the worst either.

I'm gonna make a before/after collage to show you what I'm talking about.

Ok, here we go: https://ibb.co/KybTQXY

It's low-res. I used some online image collage creator and almost had a mental breakdown. Not gonna do it again...

I don't always go for the easy ones. When I see a gen with potential, and a whole img2img would destroy nice details, I sometimes go crazy inpainting virtually all of it, piece by piece.

And almost every inpaint creates mismatching colors and seams (unless you can use existing borders as mask limits), which are very hard to get out again and require manual editing.

Many inpaints require manual sketching, such as the knife and the hand that holds it. You wouldn't believe how long that alone took me until it looked right with the perspective/angle and shading.
I don't know how long you would need for these "conversions", but I can't do that in a session of a few hours.

The changes you were able to accomplish are impressive.

Do you use a drawing tablet or a mouse? Are you using the A1111 inpainting tools?

Well, thanks! My tools are really basic. I'm no artist. I was never into photography or photo editing and I don't have a drawing tablet.

I've been using A1111 and its rather limited inpaint-masking capabilities from the start and I still do. At some point I started using GIMP for sketching, cleaning of inpainting artifacts and refining of details that fell victim to general AI sloppiness...
I found that 90% of problems can be solved with some "smudging" of varying brush size, opacity and hardness, some weak blurring against hard edges, and sometimes cloning from another area, when there are tiny patterns on pixel level that must be preserved.
The "inpaint anything" extension is also very helpful sometimes in creating precise masks for individual segments. Apart from that, it's always best to try and mask along existing borders in the picture to prevent creating more.
