AI Artist: Labs Run ~12 Months Behind on Model Personification Trends
voooooogel · x · 2026-09-29
AI community artist voooooogel reflects on the evolution of model personification art: labs tend to run about 12 months behind the frontier on such trends. Two years ago, drawing models as cute characters displaced the shoggoth image and annoyed anti-anthropomorphizers; a year ago it became popular; now it's saturated.
He jokes he'll start drawing his Claudesona as a giant to counter the trend — or move on to drawing models as the Hierophant.
