Genuinely can't handle AI paragraphs man. I use AI for a lot of my college essays, and I still have to manually filter out what it writes for me 90% of the time. Sounds so slimy and fake. Can't imagine having them in my novels. Either way, I do agree with you on your first point. They do seem...

Not owning up to it is lame, I understand. I guess I'm just too used to how internet people act nowadays that I no longer feel anything.

Again, I am not defending OP, saying they did not use AI. I merely gave my reasoning as to why I thought that specific piece is not AI-generated. Now, since you're not convinced, I'll bring up another point: this piece's linework and rendering are of distinctively lower quality than the...

I can tell you this: trying to reverse a fully rendered piece back to detailed layers takes a lot more work than just drawing it normally. Trust me, it is not worth the effort.

It's only right to call out what they've done wrong and give credit where credit is due. Here I have the CSP file opened: As you can see, the work time is registered as 11 hours, meaning 11 hours had been spent actively on this application. Which, if OP delibrately tried to fake it by AFK-ing...

You're on the right track. Now add more color and gradients, and you'll be all good, I think.

Probably my fault for not looking back at OP's previous posts. I can vouch for the work for which they sent the CSP file, but this one looks quite suspicious. And, hey, if they can send the CSP file for this one, too, I'd be totally convinced and impressed.

If you use CSP, there should be quite a number of fire brushes/textures available on the store. It depends on your style, really. But if you want to emulate the reference, I believe they used some sort of ink/oil textured smudge.

The AI accusations came out of nowhere, huh. For reference, I've looked through the clip file, and it seems legit. To be fair here, if you know anything about art and working digitally, you can already deduce OP's art as legitimate from looking at it alone. With the clip file, this should be a...

Looks like the artist blocked in the colors for the fire first, then used a textured brush to smudge them out. The reflection could have been added in various ways, but I think they've most likely glazed over a flipped copy of what's above with a low-opacity brush.

Hatching is a really good way to shade/express 3D forms. And there's really no wrong way to render something, but to my eyes, hatching works better in a grayscale piece. When you add color to the mix, the black really does stick out more than usual, which could be why your friend said it looks...

Didn't know that. Thanks. I'll try censoring the cleavage first and see what happens. Hopefully it goes through. Did some tweaks and quick censoring. Praying it goes through 🙏

It did say the cover was rejected because of NSFW, yeah. And as far as I know, covers and new stories on this site are moderated by people, not AI. I drew this myself, so I know how painful it is to change the pose and redraw everything. Might as well do another illustration altogether. I...

Think I see the problem now. I might have made the clothes' colors too similar to her skin color, so it looks like she has her chest all exposed... but she doesn't. Or maybe it's too much even then. Still, I think this is tamer compared to some of the other examples.

Just tried a few VPN on incognito, and it worked fine. NA, EU, and AS. Where are you from?
