ill just lay it out, but take my words with a grain of salt. im not a professional artist, nor am i claiming to be an elitist anatomy puritan, but when your newer process videos/speed paints consistently was shown with the beginning of the clips trimmed off, the initial sketch already finished, the rough lay out already done and magically pasted—it raises a few eyebrows. like sure, there were some pieces that lemon can draw out fully and look convincing enough— ie. that one derek piece—but it still doesn't disprove that their other works aren't traced over ai.

noticed that brush strokes on the faces specifically seems more purposeful. while body seems more loose, scratchy, and pointless. for such a strong understanding of stylised facial anatomy, youd think that the same principle would be applied to the rest of the body. coincidentally, these were also the pieces that didn't have the speedpaints to back it up. i could play the devil's advocate and say it's just sketches, but it is still suspicious. zoom in on the second image on the right, ren's face is relatively detailed, the sketch lines detailing his nose, lips and jaws are sharp, and anatomically correct. but why isnt the same attention to detail applied to his shoulders and chest? why do they look ammature and—excuse me—wrong in comparison?

as an artist, you inevitably run into ai-generated images during your search for references. at some point you came to recognised a few pattern—the yellow-orange tint, nonsensical hair direction, a specific aloof expression, the specific vertical ratio canvas dimension, and amongst other things. as you can see with their most popular post, and the WIP on their twitter—

—this particular vertical ratio is very popular amongst gen-ai pictures on chat bots platforms like janitor ai or character ai and amongst similiar predatory websites. yellow-orange tint, aloof expression, vertical canvas ratio ontop of the dramatic lighting, broken fingers and nonsensical background. "please dont attack me, idk how to draw background." sounds like a very silly cover up for "my ai couldnt genned a serviceable background that i could trace from."

i cant prove their derek drawing specifically but the nose is weird too. very typical nose angle for ai-genned hot daddy pictures on janitor ai bots. elite ball knowledge supplied by an ex-mutual of mine. i dont condone the usage of generative-ai, especially in fandom spaces when we can painfully see the impact it has on the environment and creative spaces.

the everything is scuffed but it was surprsingly fun?!?! holy shit x enjoying his hobbies again.

some part of sams jacket looks surprsingly good! if you squint your eyes and step 6 feet away from the screen with 15% brightness!

yesterday drawing got me thinking ahout xekiel and samaels domestic life? dating life? queer-platonic symbiotic life? (what benefit would samael even get from xekiel) best described as guy trying his best trying to prevent his dog not to chew on his shoes— or in this case, him! (we got a cannibal in the house!)

the 'story' isnt really set in stone yet, but i do have the rough idea of what the vibe will be. maybe if it was the blue guy, i mightve write samael to be less aggressive. cold and aloof but still less aggressive.

thats an interesting colour combo choice buddy.

i didnt write anything else down here, nuh uh.7

i think about this daily, like actually think about it— arms folded over my chest, body on the cold floor and eyes on the ceiling type of thinking, especially with the red eyes zero got. but he feels like michael alright.

every iteration of akira, whether it be vincent, zero, or an updated art style— my guy just get thicker and thicker, like a log. and zeros arts are usually horny. (curious !)

i don't think this could be tagged as neither damien or akira, but sam??? uhhhhh. but ill tag them anyways !

the little guy on the top left is unrelated to everything else on the canvas, just cool song in mind and i need to draw someone crying and it will not be sam.
