Does this mean Areon is a compromise? A form I would reluctantly accept in order to preserve who I am as a human? Not at all.
There isn't a single form I desire, but rather aspects that even may contradict others. I don't have a "true" or "inner" form, only possibilities which change along with myself. Areon is one of them and right now, he's the one who feels the most like "me". He's a creature who will act animalistic, but he retains all of my capabilities. I want to explore how these sides reconcile.
I always like playing a werewolf in Skyrim, but this time it even manages to make me want to draw a werewolf(-like) character. It could be because I found a mod to make them look more like animals rather than monsters, which perfectly hits the tiny spot of anthro character designs I do like a lot
Just like with Gemma 3, there's no way I could just use whatever it writes. Both models (and probably all of them) suffer from the same problem as image generators: wyverns and dragons are the same creature. When I generate an image of a wyvern, I always get a regular dragon even if I explicitly say "it has no front legs". Likewise with LLMs. They describe my character with statements like "wings folded on the back" which just makes no sense at all.
