variant set

A post that is part of a larger set of the same image with minor changes between them. They are usually recognizable by a base image that is from the same unchanged perspective.¶
¶
Common examples of changes within the set are:¶
¶
* Different costumes, outfits, or underwear ([[alternate costume]])¶
* Different stages of undress ([[nude]], [[undressing]], [[torn clothes]], [[panty pull]], [[bottomless]])¶
* Text and [[textless version]]s¶
* Changing speech bubbles for ongoing conversations¶
* Changes in facial expressions¶
* Different stages of sex ([[after sex]])¶
* Slight changes in pose (usually just the limbs)¶
¶
For a post to qualify for this tag, it needs to have at least one parent or one child, or be part of a pool.¶
¶
Note that two images that are identical but are from different sources ([[duplicate]]), simple [[censored]]/[[uncensored]] relations, and [[revision]]s are not variant sets. A visible change within the image is a requirement.¶
¶
Not to be confused with [[variations]], which are multiple variations within the [i]same[/i] image.¶
¶
[b]If the set contains 6 or more images, tag [[large variant set]].[/b]¶
