Hey this is ai art :<
Light blue: cloak goes over shoulder on right side but on the left side merges under the arm
Red: inconsistent cloth edges
Lime: I dont know enough about the character to say if they only own one leg or not! However theyre most likely not
Lime Numbers: inconsistent stalks on the plant they’re carrying. “But I see the fourth stalk right-” if you look at the original that stalk actually blends with stalk “two” on the top
Magenta: lacing going in the same direction goes on top of the cloak the first time and then underneath the second
Yellow, the biggest tell: gold trim is inconsistent on the part of the cloak thats closest to the body.
I would not claim that this is ai if I didnt fully believe that this is ai. I want art to be real. I want companies to go by their word.
Perhaps it’s hard to see, given that the original post is a photograph of a printed page. Here’s the original, completely hand-drawn artwork.
We don’t use generative AI.
maybe you didnt realize it was AI but it definitely is. people scam people. its not your fault if you paid for something and didn't screen it/didn't realize
but someone that knows how to render like this is very unlikely to make choices like posing the second foot where its almost invisible and makes the viewer wonder where it went, having really weird distances like the house in the back supposing to be next to the same water we see at the foot of the maincharacter here? or not rendering the white tree behind them completely and forgetting to make it visible between tassels.
