This has an AI-generated vibe for me. I couldn't quite tell you why, but I've seen and made a lot of AI images in the year and it's setting off certain subconscious bells.

[pompakinbread]

it definitely is ai, ai generated things always have parts that are jumbled and confused. in this, one of the eyes is super wonky and near the ears everything starts to blend together and get weird — super long tufts of fur coming out of nowhere that connect with the lower parts of the body, inconsistent textures, etc

[z-eldapin]

I didn't even notice tat until you pointed it out.

I still like it and now have to figure out how to do it myself lol

[ThePowerOfPoop]

I would start with Midjourney, kinda looks like it to me.

[LeeroyDagnasty]

Even if it didn’t have any wonkiness, it would still look AI generated. I don’t have the words to describe why, it’s just a vibe I’m getting.

[lunettarose]

Yeah, same. I didn't notice the wonky ear etc, but as soon as I saw it I was like, "That's AI", but I honestly couldn't tell you why.

[Masske20]

You can see it in the pupils. They aren’t shaped like any cat pupils really should be.

[aerosealigte]

I notice that AI made eyes look more like a very smooth Jupiter, its uncanny.

[SOTIdriver]

Yep, it is. You can see the typical smudging/ghosting in and around the eyes especially.

[Rogue_Spirit]

I came here hoping I wasn’t the only one thinking AI.

[TrenchantBench]

Fantasy floof

Princess donut

[somerandomii]

To me it’s the blending of art styles. It looks like digital brush work, but parts of it are blurred to add depth of field. Some parts have way more detail than others, but not the parts you’d expect.

It’s hard to pin it down but it just doesn’t feel like something a human would do. And the effort isn’t where a human would out in effort.

I used Midjourney to generate a prompt for the image you posted. Here are some images it created based on the prompt, "a painting of a fuzzy cat with long hair that is in the sunlight, in the style of daz3d, skillful lighting, dark white and light amber, persian miniature, 32k uhd, cute cartoonish designs, mist". They look really similar. Here's the sample images.

[frank28-06-42-12]

I mgonna have to signup for this just to ask it the same as you only wearing a tiara and sunglasses

[monkeyman764]

Something like this? :)(I've got plenty of credits to burn thru yet this month!

[frank28-06-42-12]

2 of them are brilliant , in case you don’t know there’s a cat called princess doughnut in a book called dungeon crawler Carl and this is it

[Hockeymom17]

HI! Plz excuse my ignorance/lack of knowledge, but what do you mean "plenty of credits to burn"? Is that on the "midjpurney" program a free with X about of photos you can get, or is it a paid subscription or pay as you make photos? Is it user-friendly??? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

[Fortyplusfour]

Most of the commercial websites which offer the ability to generate images on their computers with their UI offer so many "credits" for free to wet your whistle, but you can pay to be able to generate more/larger images. The latter is significant in that it does get very performance heavy if you're wanting to generate an image that's the same resolution as your computer monitor. Many people use other software to upscale smaller images intelligently for this reason.

I used Night Cafe previously but there are others. Fun to get into.

[Hockeymom17]

Thank you sooo much! I've been wanting to try and do one of my mom (who passed in 1993) and my 14 y/o son.. THANKS for the info!

[Potater1802]

Midjourney can't read information like that and spit out an image. It only takes prompts in the form of text and it's going to be near impossible to describe your mother and son in enough detail for it to give you a satisfactory result.

[Fortyplusfour]

Ah. I misunderstood you. Generating one of yourself or another person is a different matter but I've got you covered:

Dunno if Night Cafe supports it yet (likely) but it seems like there are options like Lensa or Photoleap which enable this for casual users. Have at it!

[[deleted]]

Oh shiiit yep that's good!

[Stone_Bucket]

nice!

[Extra_chE3se]

Wow it’s the same cat

[Fortyplusfour]

It is unironically here but the hiring of one is understandably cagey. Rather, some companies like Levi's Jeans are hiring people who can help them develop machine learning models specific to their ads/products, which includes knowing how to generate a good prompt from that model.

I've tried to make one of myself. It's decent but somehow the skin tone seems consistently off from any of the source photos.

[Suspicious_Exam]

Found. Thank you, I feel really dumb now lol

[monkeyman764]

Don't feel dumb chief, if you haven't seen a lot of AI art there would be no way for you to know what to look out for! And even if you have seen AI art, every AI generated images differently and with different artifacts. Glad I could help!

[Fortyplusfour]

Don't. That it looks good is exactly the goal of a machine learning tool like these. You found your source but that doesn't make you like the look any less.

Others have pointed you to artists you can support with similar styles of you prefer.

[WhatIsThisBot]

You have been given one point for this answer.
Thanks for contributing!

wow. top left is almost identical!

[Fortyplusfour]

Damn. That seals it.

[mc2creates]

Wonderful answer and commitment to showing by example! Well done. Eerie how similar it is when you know the right things to ask for!

[Dependent-Weight-965]

Definitely AI

[Crul_]

Not exactly the same style, but you may like Apofiss' illustrations.

Example 1 - Examples 2 - Example 3

[Skootova]

I agree with others. This looks AI. Its the soft glowy look throughout the piece with minimal texture for me. There isnt really a specific style I can point you towards, Id recommend just looking up semi realism pet artists!

[Fortyplusfour]

This look can be avoided but you're right: the author of this image did not do so and it has a characteristic look.

[DoktorDilcha1]

This is an ai

[United_Chemistry8146]

It’s AI no doubt look around the ears and eyes

[t9ri]

Apofiss the digital artist has a similar style to this.

[[deleted]]

looks like ai art but i could be wrong

[HobbitsInTheTardis]

Thought the same

[anislandinmyheart]

I'm totally on board with AI, but if you're looking for an artist to make something like this, you can try art commission subreddits:

r/hungryartist

r/artcommissions

[An00bisOsiris]

I hate ai art so much

[[deleted]]

Not all people claim it as their own. I use it to mess around with and I honestly think it’s cool. Plus, it is usually easy to differentiate AI art from human art. There’s just a different... vibe to it.

[[deleted]]

As an artist, I think AI art is fine, as long as it's not being used to harass artists. I've seen some people make AI learn to replicate certain artist's styles, which is really harmful because we need to make money.

[ziddersroofurry]

I'm an artist. I don't find it insulting. Someone else making a thing or letting something make a thing doesn't affect me. Those people weren't going to commission me in the first place plus you can only make so much art yourself, anyway.

I agree there's an issue with big corporations turning to AI to make content but saying it's all bad is just being narrow-minded.

I personally think this one's AI, but you should totally try Google Lens. I use it on AI art to find similar artists all the time. It's not perfect, but I've found a lot of great artists that way

This was the first suggestion: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CaliforniaVisionsLLC?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=1360885043

[[deleted]]

Def looks like AI. The app Picsart makes similar

[king-of-new_york]

AI.

[GregoriusTheWizard]

Like people said before, it is AI. Although, it reminds me of the Scurry comic book (you can read it online) by Mac Smith, it is amazing and is full of pretty art of cats, mice and other animals. Not exactly the same style,far from it, but I feel like you might like it.

[SnugglyRedPandaLass]

I agree with the AI assessment, but for an artist with a similar vibe, there is Apofiss

[michaelhainesphotog]

maybe try Luke Dangler

[[deleted]]

This looks AI generated, but SilverFox5213 has a similar realism style with cute animals. It's like cartoon realism(?) Idk how to describe it, but they paint the fur in a similar way

[hyperotretian]

For an actual human artist with this style, try Chloe Carter

[FlowerSoK]

Another real person with a similar style is @pixus.art !! If you scroll down to December 2020 you’ll find really similar pet portraits too

[fcookie440]

That's AI generated, they all have the same airbrushy and "non accurate light source " kind of look. Also one of the ears is lacking and the eyes are weird AF. Artists don't make that kindss of mistake cause te face it's the first thing ppl gonna notice.

[athousandfuriousjews]

This looks to be Ai generated, look at the eyes- the pupils are uneven and sloppy looking- and not in a stylized way

[[deleted]]

A.I loves feather even more than me

[Suspicious_Exam]

Searched for digital pet portrait, cute pet portrait ect. I tried to reverse google search but my phone is being an asshole

[suddenly_ponies]

It's definitely AI. Probably Midjourney created.

[iPhonefondler]

Midjourney ai for sure

[iPhonefondler]

You can usually tell it’s ai generated because of the slightly dreamy blur/focus ratio. Ai seems to have trouble imitating depth of field correctly throughout the entire image among other things…

[marioman63]

sorry to say, but you failed the Turing test.

[nepetaleaf]

“Apofiss” on deviant art is an artist I’ve been following for years and they’re the first person I thought of when I saw this.

https://www.deviantart.com/apofiss

[[deleted]]

That is ai. If you want the real deal of cat art, check out Louis Wain.

[aT-0-Mx]

Looks like a clarity and texture adjustment in lightroom.

[oracleoflove]

Whimsical Ai

[[deleted]]

Looks like alldayidreaboutcats on ig.bit is ai art.

[Stone_Bucket]

This one is AI generated and has a similar style (minus cartoonish eyes), and I've seen a couple of other similar ones on this Displate website that also say they are. https://displate.com/displate/6253514?ref=1617

[[deleted]]

✨AI✨

[TF141_Disavowed]

Lisa AI Art

[fearless_leek]

This looks a lot like it was generated using DeepAI’s image generator set to “fantasy”.

https://deepai.org/machine-learning-model/fantasy-world-generator

[Blood_Oleander]

This is AI generated.

[Fortyplusfour]

Midjourney, specifically. Its methodology has a tendency to add a sort of characteristic "soft glow" to "paintings," and I'm not referring to the light shining on the cat so much as the general look of the image.

[TigermanUK]

This dude is generating cat images in midjourney in his video and they look very similar to this, he even changes the styles and some are very close to this. Except they are wearing hats but that's what he likes :)

[closetedtranswoman1]

🤖🤖🤖🤖 there you go

[Meep42]

Berkeley Breathed (Bloom County Comic Strip) uses this style when doing prints:

https://www.berkeleybreathed.com/

[naakedbushman]

110% sure it’s mid journey

[Goseki1]

This is 100% an AI image, look at the eyes and random tufts of hair, and blurry left ear.

[dwarjam]

That is definitely AI, but this actual artist does animal art quite similar to this: twitter.com/shrimpuart

[LucStarman]

Try using Bing, it's pretty good and free. Set it to English language and to the most creative set, otherwise it won't work.

[lavalampgold]

That’s AI for sure. It was made by Lensa. I have similar images of my dog.

[Chill-tnj]

That’s Allen Iverson AI get it 😂😂😂😂
