#the reblogs are way too full with the hashtag 'art' and it's making me uncomfortable

THIS!! I'm just reblogging to point out again that

THE IMAGE ABOVE IS AI GENERATED!

In fact most of that person's stuff seems to be if you look at their artstation page.

And I think it should be labelled as such! It's sad that so many people reblogging seem to be completely unaware of that. I mean it's okay if you look at this and think it looks cool, and you're free to reblog it (if you really want to), but please please remember to draw a line between stuff like this and /real/ artwork that real human artists put actual time and effort into!

To the people who reblogged / are reblogging this, if you're aware this is AI (which I'm not sure you are) pls tag it as such! 🙏

Also in order to create such images, one requires a ‘model’ (which apparently is several works of art from a real human artist). Thus, this image only exists because a person fed real art, from real people, into a machine - 99% sure without permission. xanthusasaka explains it HERE

*Btw I'm not an artist myself and not an expert at recognizing AI images or anything (I may not have recognized that at all if sb hadn't kindly pointed it out). I'm just an average enjoyer of beautiful fanart. Ig there's always a slight possibility that it's real art after all (in that case I'm terribly sorry). BUT seriously if you pay closer attention this looks like extremely AI generated.... I think it's most noticable if you look at the hands or the hair... both just looks off

*Very big thanks to all the people who previously pointed out that it's AI!!
