TL;DR: My focus is shifting towards high-quality AI, with comics becoming just one piece of the puzzle. There will be 2 last pure 3D episodes of "The Spy Wo Loved Me". (Then probaly AI supported short comic stories from this world)
--------------------
It was a bit quiet from me here on Patreon in January. Why?
Well, I've been intensively researching the very latest AI technology for image and video generation, familiarizing myself with them, conducting tests and starting to create workflows. My goal has always been to get closer to photographic reality. I have also explored and tried out ways of enhancing comics with the help of AI. When I try out or learn something new, I'm very focused on it and other things take a back seat. That's what happened in January.
For example, the AI videos I've seen so far on muscle girls haven't impressed me, and there are much better quality AI videos on other topics on YouTube.
One reason is certainly that common AI systems, whether for image or video creation, are never trained on muscular women, especially not what we crazy fans call muscular.
In other words, if you enter the word “woman” in a text prompt, the character immediately gets thin arms and any muscularity is suppressed. So you have to “inject” the AI with additional muscles, which usually significantly reduces the quality, especially the photo realism (which you can marvel at en masse on DeviantArt), which in turn has to be compensated for with a lot of tricks. So I worked on these tricks and also the changeover to the latest cutting edge image AI system you can run locally on your PC in January.
I will deliver the next part of “The Spy who loved me” comic in the next 2 weeks and the story will come to an end in the next but one part. After all, it's been running for over a year now, and the various very elaborate scenes have really got my PC and me cooking.
But, I am still experimenting and plan to create AI supported, more photorealistic comic short stories from the worlds “The Spy Who Loved Me” and “The Office Story” and possibly others in loose intervals. Loose spacing and short stories because I can't yet estimate the amount of work involved.
However, everything points to the fact that the increase in photorealism and quality can only be bought with considerable additional effort.
Above you can see, to back up my statements, AI workflows that I have created in the last few weeks for better photorealistic AI muscle girl images, images that are needed for the preparation of high-quality AI videos and images that are needed for the additional training of the AI to use them for the enhancement of my comics.
I would be really happy if you continue to accompany me on this path and support me financially. You could already see the first image results of the new style here and on DeviantArt. The goal is best quality and character consistency, as you can see above it takes more than “just writing a prompt”.
I will publish more posts in the next hours and days with examples of first videos, more pictures and AI templates (AI images of my comic characters) to enhance my comic muscle girls. But I really wanted to get this post out this month.
Thank you all.

You're right in all you are saying. But funny how tastes are different, my "Pecs No Boobs" premium gallery on DA is one of the my best selling, though it's not my taste. Since I'm also getting much more into AI video creation, ... that's where the Boobs problem gets an additional factor. The NSFW restrictions of the AI video providers. That's probably the reason why you only get to see nude women with “man boobs” videos on DA. At the moment I'm working on my comic figures, so I have the advantage that I can create the girl templates for training myself. I will try to make the templates 3D renderings with exaggerated breasts, maybe that will help with the conversion to AI.

The full-body image in the second screen looks a lot better than what is mostly found on DeviantArt, very impressive! The only things that look more or less off in there are, first, the Abs, who are somehow way less defined than the rest of the body (they used to be a highlight with your 3D models, loved how they looked and behaved in VR especially) and, most importantly, the boobs, which is certainly due to those problems you described with the training data. Anything related to big muscles certainly has a male bias in the original training data, so almost all muscle women designed with AI tend to not have actual boobs on top of their pecs, as it anatomically should be, but often just end up with a male upper body look without any concession to the female form, or the AI attempts to morph the pecs more into boob-like shapes, generating some sort of hybrid anatomy that doesn't even come close to reflecting realism. If you can actually make it happen to push those biases out of your training data to more consistently produce musular ladies with actual boobs instad of unrealistic boopecs (the portrait image in the first screenshot looks very promising in that regard), that would be an immense milestone to achieve and could put you way ahead of the entire competition, I believe.
