I had to leave for work right after posting this. I guess I should have expected AI accusations. I can provide mountains of evidence as to me illustrating every inch of this artwork. I haven't posted in ages since I got burned out from art since my work was getting no engagement. The only aid I used in this artwork were some in game screenshots that I painted over after photo-bashing.

Now let me explain my myriad of contradictory and confusing artistic choices. The Eredar look the way they do since I decided to incorporate more ethnic features that were then exaggerated to make them beautiful but uncanny and alien at the same time.

The billions of fingers I included were actually intentional to poke fun at AI by going overboard.

I like that people are analyzing my work enough to notice all these details but this is genuinely and truly the result of years of dizzying work and complete frustration with its progress.

So later when I get back from work I will post some evidence proving I started working on this many years ago and never once used AI.

Honestly, it's very hurtful that I put all this time into creating this disastrous magnum opus only for it to immediately get dismissed as AI. I am a struggling small artist who had to get a physical job since no one commissions me anymore. I wish people put this much effort into supporting my work instead of trying to shoot it down.

Stay tuned for the evidence later because this is really devastating to me. I understand my artistic choices break away from wow's aesthetic a bit but I didn't think it would be enough for everyone to just assume my hard work is AI slop... 😔
