without some hard proof i think its safe to say this art should be avoided atm if you are not interested in buying AI, as sad as it is to say because i do like this elf quite a bit I hope im wrong and this gets cleared up soon, if it does ill delete these comments and make clear my mistake as well as thoroughly apologize

That said from what ive seen and what ive learned after reaching out to a few others who previously bought art from you, you *do* seem eager to share the psd and do edits on the art which does lend some credence that its legit i suppose? im not well versed in AI art enough to know how easy something like that would be to fake id hate to see someone who really did just "lock in" and develop their skills be accused of using AI but its hard not to agree that it at least seems very suspicious

the speed paint doesnt show any of the coloring and the process seems a bit odd imo some of the people in these comments coming to your defense seem a little sus, no offense there are a few details that point to maybe some AI assistance or an artist not knowing what exactly they are doing your older art shows a sudden and drastic improvement very suddenly that is often attributed to employing some amount of AI aid

shes really cute and a really fun design but it does FEEL AI generated, can you prove at all that its not? all the "more like this" are all AI art so at least DeviantArt thinks its AI to some degree

what makes you think its not AI?
