LBs: I dislike “egg hatching” rhetoric as much as the next NB person, but as a longtime furry: if you’re an AMAB music artist with intense anxiety who hides the bottom of your face in music videos, and you use your Hot Young Producer Cache to create a cute, plucky femme anthro princess fursona to be the face of your brand and become synonymous with your own name,
I mean,
the odds have gotta be more than ZERO, right
@irisjaycomics I mean shit, people were -all over- the idea of virtual pop stars/idols in the late '90s and early '00s? I'm more surprised this has only really started becoming a real thing relatively recently, ahaha
@irisjaycomics definitely, CGI today is *miles* ahead of where it was 20 years ago, doubly so when we're talking about stuff available to people who aren't running big studios and shit
@Thaminga YEAH. the bleeding edge has moved so far forward that you can comfortably reside pretty far behind it and still make stuff that looks visually impressive
@hierarchon @Thaminga YEAH THAT SHIT IS BANANAS
@hierarchon @Thaminga part of me still wants to get a webcam just to try it out, because i'm One Of Those People
@Thaminga i think it's just taken a grip for the tech to catch up and for people to start seeing it as an actual aesthetic and lucrative opportunity instead of just a novelty
