VN Unity Ren'Py struggling to find proper erotic asset. please help

[alpcraft]

Hello there.

I am messing with coding and doing games for over years and I decided to make my own game

I am planning to do something nice and the forums has ALOTS OF assets and guides for world and game mechanics making

BUT...

I am struggling to find a consistent source for the erotic content! I need some quality content and more importantly.. consistent product when it comes to the art part
(YES I AM LOOKING AT YOU ROUNDSCAPE !)

sooo...what should I do for it ? is there a guidence for creating content or an AI for the art ? I am open for any tips and guidence.

thanks ^*^

There are different ways and "tiers" of visual content.

Lowest tier would be:
- random screenshots from gonzo porn videos
- using Illusion games studio (HoneySelect/Koikatsu) with low skill level (bad poses, poor customisation)
- using Daz with low skill level (bad lighting, wooden poses, pokethrough everywhere)
- using a AI image gen without doing careful clean or working to get consistent characters
- chicken scratch ms-paint level hand drawn art assets.

Mid tier
- carefully finding and curating images of specific porn stars that fit the storyline. (this is the cap for this type)
- using Illusion games studio but with high skill. (this is the cap for this type)
- using Daz with good skill
- using AI with lots of post-editing / custom trained LORA. (this is the cap for this type) (this is way more time consuming that you might expect. Ask me how I know )
- basic-competency level hand drawn art.

High Tier
- using Daz with really high skill plus good post-editing
- good quality hand drawn art

God tier
- pro quality digital art. 100s hours/ 10000s dollars


For me, anything hand drawn basically gets a tier bump, due to it being a unique creation as opposed to "similar in every game" daz models, or worse "identical in every game" honey select. For AI stuff, I don't hate it on principle, but low effort generate-and-use "6 fingers and all" is just low value.
