ℹ️ Ominous Hourglass concept. ℹ️ Use this format in your prompt: <pre><code>Hourglass style. Hourglass Top: . Hourglass Bottom: . Background: .
</code></pre> ℹ️ Example of a prompt: <pre><code>Hourglass style. Hourglass Top: A young man standing in a lush, green forest, with the sun shining brightly in the background, representing the energy and vitality of youth. Hourglass Bottom: An older man standing in a snowy, wintry landscape, with a calm and reflective expression, symbolizing wisdom and the passage of time. Background: The hourglass is placed on a bed of soft, glowing snow, with a warm glow emanating from the center, illustrating the connection between youth and old age, and the inevitable passage of time.
</code></pre> ℹ️ The Ominous Hourglass centers on a beautifully crafted hourglass that serves as a vessel for dual, contrasting narratives. Within the upper and lower glass bulbs, the model illustrates two distinct states of a single subject-such as growth and decay, youth and age, or creation and transformation. The sand or liquid flowing through the narrow neck acts as a literal and symbolic bridge, representing the inevitable passage of time and the fluid transition between these two worlds. Visually, the style is characterized by a rich, semi-realistic digital art aesthetic featuring clean textures, soft reflections, and dramatic, atmospheric lighting. Scenes are often bathed in warm golden-hour sunlight, cool starlight, or vibrant bioluminescent glows that highlight the intricate details inside the glass. The surrounding environment seamlessly mirrors the themes within the hourglass, creating a cohesive and deeply immersive composition. Fine details bring each piece to life, from individual grains of colorful sand and delicate water droplets to swirling magical particles and intricate wood or metal frames. The model excels at capturing quiet, poetic moments of transition with a sense of wonder and gentle melancholy. It offers creators a powerful tool for visual storytelling, turning abstract concepts of time and change into captivating, tangible art.

</li></ol><h2 id="why-i-created-my-own-access-control">Why I Created My Own Access Control</h2>I have been a creator on Civitai since December 2022. My goal has always been to help make model training, design, and development a sustainable, professional activity, not only for myself, but for other creators too. Supporting people who want to create models professionally is good for users, for creators, for the entire community, including Civitai itself.
Civitai has shared some of this vision and has tried to create ways to support creators. Unfortunately, their current Creators Program has serious problems:
<ul><li>Civitai was deplatformed by payment processors and operates at a loss.
</li><li>The current compensation model pays creators mainly for model usage in the generator.
</li><li>Early Access limits paid access to only 15 days, after which models must be free.
</li><li>Buzz extraction value has dropped to ~45% of its original worth, making withdrawals basically a 55% fee.
</li><li>Bugs and creator feedback are ignored for months, and several team members who used to listen have left.
</li></ul>I believe this system is unfair, harmful, and exploitative. Creators should be able to:
<ul><li>Sell models without arbitrary time limits.
</li><li>Pay a fair platform fee of 15% or less.
</li></ul>Civitai briefly tested a much better system called Clubs in early 2024, which worked well for creators, but it was canceled after backlash from a loud minority that opposed fair creator compensation. I have long hoped Civitai would fix these issues, as I’ve suggested in my articles:

</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/articles/11274/new-creators-program-issues-and-solutions">New Creators Program: Issues and Solutions</a>
</li></ul>But nothing has changed. Bugs remain unresolved, feedback is ignored, and I’ve lost optimism about Civitai’s willingness to improve.
That’s why I’ve decided to experiment with my own alternative access control system, a fairer way to share models with users who value my work.
