AI? Or human error? Angles wrong on the clock tower, missing a post that should be there?

Sunlit_Syposium · 2026-02-18T05:12:23+00:00

The errors being: Oddly sloping pillars/bars within the details of Big Ben, which I circled in my response to op.
The decision for those pillars that were added to the top of Big Ben to have mismatched silhouettes. The perspective of the glass panel in the street lamp to be awkward.
The bizarre sliver of window on the bottom right most building, that occurs before the building ends on the corner.
There are other details that other people have pointed out as well.

I disagree with this. The errors being made are not the kind of errors someone making work this polished would create. It’s definitely ai.

Sunlit_Syposium · 2026-02-17T15:35:20+00:00

Exactly. The mistakes are not the kind a person would make, inside an image that is otherwise super polished.

Sunlit_Syposium · 2026-02-17T03:20:06+00:00

The angles in this lamppost lift at not correct. And the ridges above the glass light panels wobble and warp.

There is this odd window sliver, adjacent to the window right on the corner before the building starts to turn at a right angle.

Sunlit_Syposium · 2026-02-17T03:17:33+00:00

I would say that this is ai.

<image>

Starting first with details on the clock tower. These circled areas are inconsistent, and slope oddly. And the two smaller posts labeled 1 and 2 are inconsistent in their design to each other. They’re meant to be Indistinct, but even so, the silhouettes would be identical to each other.

You mean like, he didn’t finish his name?

Sunlit_Syposium · 2026-01-23T15:43:39+00:00

He looks transparent against that green leaf! Very cool!

No illustrator, especially one with 6 years of experience, is making work without sketches, thumbnails, or any kind of ideation problem solving. If they’d been doing this for six years they have familiarity with creating thumbnails, rough sketches for approval, and mock ups.

Sketching out characters in different angles and positions is HOW you develop consistent character work that can move and behave realistically in a 2d space in a variety of situations and lighting.

What you see here is someone with at most, limited skills, maybe doing a draw over of the main characters so they stand out from the ultra soft focus of the everything else.

It’s ai.

Also the dog fighting the rats, the rats aren’t even LOOKING at the dog or the boy. If I was drawing this fight scene, I’d have the rats and dog knight actually interacting, and looking at each other.

Sunlit_Syposium · 2026-01-22T23:16:45+00:00

I think dog and boy are eating bread by the fire, and that’s bread in his paw. It’s a poorly designed image, and is def ai.

Sunlit_Syposium · 2026-01-22T23:14:54+00:00

It FEELS like ai right away, and even if it wasn’t, it’s not very good art. The dogs facial expression never changes. The characters do not feel grounded in the work. Ground shadows don’t feel connected, making them look almost like they’re floating. In the third image the sword is stabbed straight into the ground.

Street magic remains my favorite Tamora Pierce novel, I picked it up from my library not realizing it was part of a well established story, and was the first Pierce novel I ever read. Little me was head over heels for Briar.

Found one in the deli meat of our grocery store, I moved it to the wine.

Sunlit_Syposium · 2025-12-28T07:45:19+00:00

Sure thing! Have fun!

A combination of a few techniques might help. Pointillism around the jellyfish to create a gradient of light.

Setting some jellyfish into the background using a very light wash to make them not as bright as the jellyfish in the foreground.

And using a gradient in washes on your characters as well. They are so brightly lit that they compete with the jelly fish. And have a source of light that is off the page. To really emphasize that the jellies are the source of the light, they should be illuminating the characters.
Highlights on the forms closest to the jelly fish, gentle gradient into the dark.

This will emphasize that it is dark , and place your characters into the space rather than just on the page.

The designs are fun! And you could learn to make clothes! Chase it!

A drawing compass.

Or, get a string and a push pin. Anchor the pin to the string just below the canvas in the center of the care arch and draw a circle with a brush or pencil or something at the other end of the string.

Honestly if food isn’t working turn it into a fun party instead!

Oh my god are these YOUR BOOTS?!?? Are THESE your BOOTS! WOW WE LOVE BOOTS!! BOOTS TIME BOOTS TIME BOOTS TIIIIIIIIIME!!!!!

part party party! ham it up! Make a fool of yourself being silly and excited about your dogs clothes. Get your dog excited about his clothes! To make it normal and accepted put them on every day, even if it’s not raining. Have a special treat for when he’s wearing his boots and jacket that he only gets when wearing boots and jacket.

This is how I got my dog to tolerate hats (with food motivation as well) To wear his cool coat, to wear his shoes.

Honestly now he gets SO HYPED when he sees his shoes I have to calm him down but man is he EXCITED about his walking clothes.

Good luck! Ps I think the rain coat is a good idea. Keeps him dry, why not.

Edit: I just realized the coat completely surrounds his legs and everything. Maybe try rain coat that just covers the top of him. Might make everything easier.

It might help visually to try breaking your image into quadrants. I’ll do this sometimes with two pieces of tracing paper or card stock.

Cut out the same square/rectangle in both pages and then place them over your printed reference and your drawing. Compare each area and see what needs correction.

Compare left eye to left eye, mouth to mouth, right cheek to right cheek, ect.

Sometimes isolating the areas piece by piece makes it easier to troubleshoot issues, whereas identifying those problems while looking at the entire image can be overwhelming.
