I'm done faking. Thank you all for your love and support!

 

After quite some time of assessing the current situation of the faking scene, the AI landscape, the ever changing shit of laws prohibiting fakes and even NSFW content as a whole in all of Europe etc....I have come to the point where I think I'm done with faking.

I have been faking since 2015 and it has been quite a wild ride.

From starting off over at fakersrealm.com with a lot of fun competitions, finding great new friends and seeing many talented people, all the way to building this website for my works and eventually stepping foot into the world of the twitter gooner scene...

I learned a ton from faking in photoshop all those years which actually - not gonna lie - even helped me to practice and test out stuff in my actual full time job in marketing.

The thing is though that traditional faking with actual talent, the will to learn how software like photoshop works and learning the ins and outs of how colors, light, shadows, etc. work together to create a great sexy illusion....are sadly a thing of the past.

Much like many other parts of life, AI has taken over so much that especially faking has been influenced A LOT by it...in good and bad ways.

The bad ways? First of all, AI put faking as a threat to celebs so much into the radar of news and the law that it has become basically impossible to promote and share your fakes safely on any public platform. The days when I reached a peak of 30.000 followers on twitter are long gone....I literally tried every single thing to avoid detection on twitter: posting via a private account, not using the celebs' names, etc.....NOTHING worked. All it takes is one person to report you or twitter in itself to find you (again) via re-used IP or let alone simply by knowing your faker name (and even using another faker name doesnt work). Twitter and any other platform are cracking down without mercy on fakers....its pointless to try to share your works safely on social platforms anymore. To this day I literally lost around 15 or so twitter accounts due to trying again and again and again..... It reached a point where I am still on twitter only to keep in touch with good close friends i made in the scene. But for faking....social platforms are no option anymore.

Likewise many other notable fakers quit faking already long before I now decide to. Many very talented people who rightfullly built up a big following also saw the sign of the times and didnt see a point anymore (like me) to spend many hours on a single fake to try to bring it to near perfection....only for an AI to reach pretty much a similar level after only a couple seconds...done by random folks who simply typed in some prompts (and worst of which, who sometimes even call themselves artists for simply typing in prompts...).

My commission requests going down a lot also are a very obvious sign of changing times, where people simply download  an AI construct, throw anything in it and get AI videos and whatever images they want of their celebs. The time, effort and talent that went into traditional faking and graphic design has reached a point where quality and effort seem worthless anymore opposed to when people out there are now just drowning in endless AI fakes looking as real as can be in most cases.....I dont even wanna know how realistic AI fakes will become in another two years....its fascinating and scary at the same time.

Even I eventually caved in a bit trying to adapt...trying to mix my photoshop manually made fakes with an own AI construct that I experimented with and fiddled around with to adapt and to give people something new. AI video fakes that I created based on my actual manually made fakes....The reception was a 50/50 mix of some people liking it and others absolutely not...callling me a fraud and traitor to the art of faking etc....It seemed like whatever I did was the wrong move or a worthless move. The traditional faking scene is simply dead....there's no other ways around it. It's making me feel like a dinosaur even having spent so much time holding onto this whole thing trying to still make it work somehow and try to make it feel worthwhile.....but for the life of me...i cant find the motivation anymore to really do any traditional fakes anymore... it just feels worthless compared to the realistic video fakes that AI is able to create nowadays in mere seconds. And me simply trhrowing pictures and prompts into an AI construct (even if I myself built it and trained it)...just feels wrong and not true to how I started faking to begin with.

Long story short, dont expect any new or regular fakes anymore on this site. I wont rule out that I will maybe post something new when I'm bored or whatever. But for now I will stop putting focus on being a faker anymore and instead focus on my other endeavours in graphic design that are non-erotic.

In that sense, if any of you still are interested in commissions of any kind....and I dont mean only fakes, but in general: banners, posters, photography touch ups, album covers, etc....you of course still can always reach out to me via my email adress.

And of course....if you just want to keep in touch, you can also always reach out to me via email.

Either way, I thank you all for your many years of support and love. I made tons of friends over the years, had a lot of fun, learned a ton...was quite an adventure. 

Keep enjoying celebs, fakes and porn.

Have fun everybody. Love y'all. Kisses
