The yuri has truly fried your thinking didn't it? This author doesn't swing over the rainbows

Lol you say that, but you clearly know nothing about the artist as they have done explicit and clear yuri arts before, see post #9710223. Quite hypocritical of you to have a significant hatred for yuri ships, while praising het ships. You’ve railed against yuri ships, saying before they aren’t canon and as such should not exist, but I dont see you railing against het ships, which like the yuri ones, are just as noncanon.

Calling me hypocritical because I don't speak about them in here doesn't mean I like all the heterosexual pairings, burnice and lighter are something I don't see happening under any circumstances nor Billy and Grace or Seth and Jane, even though I can see why people pair them. You should check the gallery instead of the commisions and make a balance among what's yuri and what's not, then you can say something about this artist in particular. And if you referred to ships in general I have plenty of those that I don't like and some I straight up ignore.
As for them being noncanon, it's obvious, it's hoyoverse, they will NEVER make a character into the MC because they refuse to make unique paths already settled for each MC, because people want to feel included which turns all of their games that target everyone to an extent to games for nobody 's taste. It's just like reading Harry Potter refusing to make Ron fall for Hermione because there will be people mad that Harry doesn't get with her, which is stupid and awful storytelling.
They give each MC different traits but then they act mostly the same in cutscenes or still say both dialogue options regardless of what you choose.
Also a small change I should make now that I checked, because I followed the artist for a LONG time, there's about 7 drawings that are yuri excluding alts in more than one thousand and five hundred pictures, are you serious right now?

You don't know the artist personally, and I doubt you have gotten explicit remarks from them to say whether they care. The artist has the right to reject commissions for arts or ideas they don't disagree with. The fact they haven't rejected yuri commissions and instead have fulfilled them clearly means that while they have a preference for making straight artwork, they absolutely have no issues with making yuri. If I made a commission for a piece of artwork with Navia and Clorinde, I guarantee you they would agree to making it.

I also thinks it's funny how you claim Xplode's thinking is fried just for making a seemingly accurate description of what seems to be going on in the image. Just shows me how biased against anything yuri you may be.

Look pal, I don't hate yuri, I hate dumbass forced ships, in genshin I despise Varesa x Ororon and Navia x Neuvillete with a passion, not only because those two are my mains but because they made a pairing with a man that has literally the least amount of possible chemistry and push it like shoving an elephant into the refrigerator, it just doesn't work.
In this case it's because there's a few works with Wise and women from the same game, meaning there's something going on, just for someone to say there's yuri sex going on too out of nowhere, like where the hell did they get that from? Did the winds of the north whisper into their ear melodies at night?
There's quite literally, nothing wrong with having your own headcanon unless you push them onto others and act entitled about it.
Once more, since I already stated genshin as an example, I love Navia to an extent you can't measure it with words, and whenever I wanted to look at any fanart of her there was a few ships I didn't quite get along with but it was fine and shortly after there's billions and tons of clorinde and navia yuri ships at every turn putting Navia as a pervert and a flirtatious mafia boss that would strip clorinde in the middle of an operation because she's too much of a pervert, no sunshine smile Navia that dedicates her whole heart to keep everyone's smiles safe nor a the sassy sunflower she can be when she's confident despite having dumb innocent ideas sometimes.
Even the harem ships or the so hated male MC x Character ships make more sense than what most yuri ships are that can be summarized to "horny fetish go brr". I don't like yaoi nor do I support them but both Lumine and Aether are depicted really well when it comes to Xiao, proving it's not hard to properly make a character that's not someone's delusional take of an already existing entity.
As for your own desire to making that commission, go ahead, you just proved my point of always making pushed ships that destroy a character's reputation

I don't know what kind of experiences you've had, but a fundamental aspect of fiction in general is that it's all forced. There is no cosmic compulsion towards your ships or against another's. "I think they'd be good together, I like this." is all that's required for people to ship. Characters do not have a reputation. They do not have actual relationships. They are fictional, and people slam the fictional characters together like dolls for fun.

Moreover you can say it's not about yuri, but as a genuine question do you bother calling it out like this any other time? If I look at your comment history am I not going to find you passing right through without criticism, or even praise, when it's non-canon heterosexual ships? Or, hell, for this specific sequence of images, for any of the ones in that sequence that were Wise?
You need to stop projecting your dislikes onto the artist and get over all of this. It's crazy.

@anonsama, what evidence is there that this is AI-generated (since you added the tag)? The artist doesn't claim it, and everything looks clean as far as I can tell. It's also rendering a very obscure character that there would be no training data for accurately (the green haired guy in the foreground).

Initially, I thought that the background looked somewhat suspicious. I looked at some of the artist's other work and I kind of made a misjudgement based on a post that had a lot of the patterns that an AI would use but after looking at some of the other stuff again, I can say that I kind of made a rushed judgement on things. I apologize for that.

Oof, not fully owning up to your mistake by saying 'I kinda messed up' rather than just admitting plainly that you fucked up. It's people like you the reason why big companies like OpenAI are still able to run circles around you even today and legitimate art is accused of being generated. 🤣

Leaving aside the fact that Sandy was still under construction in 1940, I do wonder if this picture would be as heartbreaking if the Essex/Fletcher/Cleveland/Baltimore swarm showed up to comfort them.

If they showed all the warships the US built in the 44 months it was at war alongside the pre-war survivors, it would be a very crowded picture.

I also don't think the people who wish sunk ships were permanent losses in the story realize that would mean we have no axis faction at all. Sakura would be near completely obliterated, Ironblood would cease to exist as any ships that survived were transferred to other navies. Likewise Sardegna would be reduced to almost nothing and Vichya ceases to exist before the end.

I honestly think that the whole idea of including a story in a gacha game is doomed to failure since there is a massive financial incentive to never reach any conclusion whatsoever.

Would have added interesting depth to the story. Sadly, they chose the mellow one-dimensional story where nobody can die, or stay dead. You'd think there would be stakes and losses in a story about war based on actual ships that actually sunk.

Good art though.

Yes, the point is even if the story chckens out, there is still dark artwork being produced of the shipgirls suffering. Someone looks for cute fanart and gets this instead, job well done.
