I have seen a lot of really hot, really neat, really well done lingerie over the years.  The fandom is rife with incredible fashion designers.  Or people who have been inspired by really hot real world examples of lingerie.  It's only natural and a matter of time before I put Iridium in some.

This picture was done by Glenn Anderson / mylife42, who as of this posting was singled out by people of questionable motivations as an AI user.  It is not true.  I'm going to say that again, Glenn does not use AI.  But for a moment, their rationale seemed good, their volume was hard to ignore, and more than one artist that I do actually know and respect joined in the mob.  It took a day or so to refute the charges, but the damage was done.  I publicly apologized for adding my voice to the cacophony, regardless of how brief it was, and I hope Glenn recovers.  For my part, I'm sorry.  As for the instigator, it's not the first time he's gone after someone for suspected AI use, and it's not the first time he's been wrong.  They have no more credibility.

AI is awful, and there is a lot of AI-derived art out there.  Please be careful when making accusations against members of our community.  We do need to police fandom spaces to protect our fandom and our artists, but we need to do it tactfully and accurately.

I'll get off my soap box now.  Enjoy.
