@TheMiamiDeSantos That’s how it’s always been, long before AI. There’s also the fact that generic, cute things are faster and cheaper to draw and make 3D models of. Just whip up a quick picture of Hello Kitty or Pikachu to see what I mean, and again, that’s before you take AI art into account.
Good thing there are weirdos like me that actively look for the most creative and gross stuff imaginable because I’m tired of all the “safe” Disney and anime stuff. Hopefully the independent/indie animation scene becomes as hugely popular as the indie video game scene (with stuff like Super Meat Boy, Undertale/Deltarune and Freedom Planet), because it’s so much easier to take creative risks when your budget is less than $400 million and you don’t need to sell your soul to the Chinese or Russian government to make a profit (cough Mulan 2020 remake cough).

So…the AI algorithm removed everything that makes your character fun and unique in favor of turning her into a generic anime school girl?

yeah, exactly. But many of the customers, comissions, illustrations jobs, arts for stores or institutions they all mostly want generic and cliche things, even my customers they see my stuff but still they just want normal, generic cliche things. no sharp fangs and teeth, no claws and long nails, no snake like long tongues.
