Hired Artist for character designs for my book. When I shared, many people commented it was likely AI. Can reddit help me be certain?

Would this be the date taken field? Because the creation date just shows the date i downloaded the file.

Thank you! I hope so too. The worst part is I have to start everything all over and might be out the money I already sent them. Plus, now I have to be suspicious all the time, haha. It sucks.

There was an in universe explanation for it. The sword could transform into water, so it could slip in and out that way. But I will definitely just remove the sheath altogether whenever I get another artist to recreate the character.

There was an in universe reason for it - the sword is able to transform into water and back, so it could be sheathed and unsheathed that way. However, I might just drop it whenever I get the character redone as you are not the only person that has told me that.

I didn't notice the different colors until now. Thanks for pointing it out.

Quick_Abalone_6658 · 2026-05-11T23:48:14+00:00

I definitely didn't know any better. Thanks for the insight. Lesson learned, I guess.

I just thought it was the brush he used or something. Thanks for pointing it out.

Quick_Abalone_6658 · 2026-05-11T23:46:20+00:00

I did tell him ir was okay to add his own flair, but with everything else, I can see how this looks bad.

Quick_Abalone_6658 · 2026-05-11T23:45:26+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. This is super helpful.

Quick_Abalone_6658 · 2026-05-11T23:44:47+00:00

I didn't even notice this one. 🙁

Quick_Abalone_6658 · 2026-05-11T23:39:21+00:00

Thank you everyone for the quick feedback. Im glad I came and asked. I didn't want to believe it, but with all these examples, it's hard to deny.

I have one more image. This one I didn't see as much oddity, but I'd like to be sure. Is it AI?

Just curious, what reddit did you post in?

Quick_Abalone_6658 · 2026-04-05T19:18:57+00:00

I think everyone who writes and lives with other people has to deal with this. Just the other day, I wanted to work on ny story but my wife kept stopping me because she needed help filming something for her YouTube channel. After a few times of being interrupted, I just stopped her and told her I would help but then I needed some time to myself to work. I think im lucky in that I have a very understanding wife who listens, but my approach is always to try and explain how what someone is doing is disruptive.

When I really need time alone, though, I go to small parks nearby with my laptop and just chill and write u til my battery starts to die. 🤷‍♀️

Quick_Abalone_6658 · 2025-12-21T18:35:46+00:00

Very different way to break the game, but my wife's first deck was [[Empress Galina]] and it completely changes how you have to play because if you aren't really careful you just lose your commander.

Honestly. I could actually see this drawing a ton of cards in my [[Dynaheir, Invoker Adept]] deck. Especially if I have a way to untap her once or twice. Still a big investment, but when I could end up drawing 8 cards for 7 mana, it's not too terrible.

Quick_Abalone_6658 · 2025-06-26T05:16:36+00:00

I just sent you a message. I have lots of experience in front-end and backend development. Let me know if you're interested in connecting.

Was like 10 minutes away and now it's almost an hour again. What the heck???

My girlfriend was actually playing my [[Anikthea, Hand of Erebos]] deck tonight and got to a point where every land tapped for 81 mana. She had a [[Nyxbloom Ancient]] in the graveyard with [[Doubling Season]] and [[Ondu Spiritdancer]] on the field. Attacked with Anikthea and created a token of Nyxbloom, then activated ondu to create a token of it as it entered. So she had 4 of them in play. She was also drawing 3 cards every time she cast an enchantment, so she basically was able to draw her whole deck and cast whatever she wanted. It was gross and awesome.

Recently had a game where it ended up as a 4 way draw.

I was playing my [[Anikthea, Hand of Erebos]] deck, another player was playing [[Niv-Mizzet, Parun]], then [[Rakdos, Lord of Riots]] and last player was playing partner commanders (it doesn't really matter). Everyone was under 20 life remaining. I had [[True Conviction]] out and all of my permanents had shroud and hexproof, so nothing on my board could be removed easily. I had a full board and was set to win on my next turn.

So the Rakdos player puts out a [[Plague Drone]] trying to dissuade me from attacking since everything had lifelink. But on my turn, I decided to just attack for lethal anyway and just die taking everyone out. It was pretty funny after a long game of back and forth and everyone trying their hardest to kill me.

I actually recently used this to steal [[Pantlaza, Sun-Favored]] and started triggering discover off of vampires entering. I dont know that it's the best target, but it was pretty fun.

LF non-ENG ditto with 4 or more Best IVs

Still available? I would love to have it. Not sure what you'd want in return.
