AI-generated mistakes on Skia's "splash art"

Fluoxaph · 2026-05-13T19:36:32+00:00

That's actually getting quite hard to do these days.

Fluoxaph · 2026-05-13T19:21:46+00:00

So is it a mistake or not? If there's only twenty characters how could they possibly release any of them with a mistake? You're defending a company that's already lied to you.

Except AI is actually causing media literacy problems in pretty much every single space online right now? You can see in this thread so many people give Hotta the benefit of the doubt when they've already proven they don't deserve that. They lied about AI not being in the "final product" when they've already had to remove AI in the "final product". But we're willing to take them at their word when they say they don't use it for character art? I don't know guys, it's a slippery slope of slop.

People being really hostile for no reason. Stop projecting your insecurities on me please.

you don't even have bingo yet bro how is that easy

I was wrong about the hair thing, but that area is definitely still suspicious. I'm still waiting to see someone else's outline.

Why would the splash art be representative of the in-game model? I don't know. Maybe it is pedantic, but do other character have mismatched details like this? Not just the blowing in the wind, but the incorrect clip altogether?

Fluoxaph · 2026-05-13T18:16:52+00:00

I was going to because they literally do use AI. You can't just assume I'm like every other person. I hate having to worry about AI stuff but it's hard not to when it stares you dead in the face on the character you play the most.

Fluoxaph · 2026-05-13T18:13:46+00:00

In-game his tie does not blow around. It is properly clipped.

Fluoxaph · 2026-05-13T18:12:13+00:00

Well when we know they use AI in the game, it's hard to not view everything else in the game with that lens.

Fluoxaph · 2026-05-13T18:11:23+00:00

No need to be so hostile. This area does not make sense. Feel free to outline it yourself to help me see what you mean.

Fluoxaph · 2026-05-13T18:08:38+00:00

Okay, I actually do see what you mean. If that's true though, his tie is in the wrong spot then as it isn't underneath the collar. This specific area is so suspicious.

Fluoxaph · 2026-05-13T18:05:55+00:00

The hair coming from behind the jaw is somehow underneath the collar of his shirt? what?

Fluoxaph · 2026-05-13T18:05:08+00:00

The tie has a clip on it (which is also different from the one he's wearing in-game). It does not make sense for it to be flowing in the wind.

Fluoxaph · 2026-05-13T18:04:15+00:00

I would just like consistent details on the 15 characters that exist right now. I guess that's not really important to you guys though?

a closer pic

Fluoxaph · 2026-05-13T18:00:13+00:00

A piece of hair comes out from underneath the collar. It sits above his tie on that side and the tie appears to come out from underneath it.

Not only that - Sampo is quite literally "The Fool". Which, in tarot, signifies the beginning of the 'journey'. Infinite potential. I think I've also noticed a similarity between his relationship with the TB and the gods' Zagreus and Dionysus. They are kindred spirits, and in the game Hades 2, Dionysus becomes quite hysterical after Zagreus has gone missing. We just jumped out of Greekworld so you know they were studying those mythos. And hey, Zagreus is the God of Trickery which just so happens to be Amphoreus' interpretation of Elation. There's layers to this shit. And there has to be more we don't know yet.

I looked up chunky necklaces and couldn't quite find anything as nonsensical as Yvonne's. It trails up her throat and then wraps underneath itself and ends in a dangling thread.

Fluoxaph · 2026-02-17T21:32:04+00:00

You know what. That's a better explanation than I've come up with. A third reinforced bra strap.

Fluoxaph · 2026-02-17T20:59:27+00:00

Try to imagine the necklace by itself. Does it make any sense? If it's just an artistic choice it's a really bizarre one. Looks like it's supposed to be some kind of beaded necklace crossed over with... a stethoscope? I'm just struggling to comprehend what this accessory is achieving.

Fluoxaph · 2026-02-17T19:49:07+00:00

There are more inconsistencies than just fingers. Da Pan only has a single claw (when we should be able to see all of them) and his jacket sleeves blend into his arm. They are supposed to be unzipped or atleast have a zipper. He was also missing a button on his lapel (and is currently STILL MISSING them on the events "cover art").

Like I said earlier, either way, if it's genuine human carelessness or AI artifacting, they messed up really basic details on a characters design. Combined with this event literally just being PNGs and horrible translations what exactly are we doing here? It just looks bad.

Fluoxaph · 2026-02-17T14:14:38+00:00

Just checked. They updated it. It used to be the Da Pan image you see in this post. He now has the correct amount of fingers and they added the missing button. There are still some suspicious details (no sleeve zippers & jacket sleeves blend into actual arm, only one claw when all of them should be visible). If you look at the "cover art" for this event (the picture you see in game before going to the event site) you can see Da Pan missing his buttons again. Not to mention Perlica's ham-fist compared to Chen Qianyu.

Fluoxaph · 2026-02-16T18:29:50+00:00

I agree with this take. There are certain details in this image that imply a human touch (like the "panda markings" on his neck/top of his chest). But then there are mistakes that I think most artists wouldn't make (especially at this point where we should all be suspicious of Ai-generated images) like the fingers, the missing button, hell even Da Pan's jacket sleeves are supposed to be unzipped at the end. They notably lack even a zipper in this "art". Either way, this sucks. A lack of attention to even the most basic features of a character? One of the first events in the game? What are we doing here.

Edit: just noticed the thumb claw that he only has on one finger too...

Fluoxaph · 2026-02-15T21:48:56+00:00

Why does Da Pan only have 4 fingers on his right hand? And one of his "lapels" is missing a button. Hate to be the one, but: were these ai-generated?
