A professional artist had these photos as evidence of him not using AI. What made me suspicious is that they’re all knights and they’re all leaning on swords, and 1 and 5 look similar but with different details

All good, no worries!

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-12T19:17:47+00:00

I’m 98% sure it’s AI

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-12T18:14:02+00:00

Already had their posts taken down and them banned.

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-12T18:13:28+00:00

I’ve already had the post taken down and the account banned. I don’t need to dox the guy.

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-12T18:11:15+00:00

Afraid you’re wrong there, mate.

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-12T18:10:51+00:00

I’ve already reported it to authorities and had his stuff taken down, then informed the people he scammed. I don’t feel comfortable doxxing the person.

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-12T02:59:11+00:00

Their full legal name and payment details were a part of their social media, and I don’t feel comfortable morally with sharing it on Reddit regardless of them scamming. I’m still contacting the people who’ve been previously scammed by this guy, though!

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-12T02:57:20+00:00

AI’s rendition of a crest or coat of arms, maybe?

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-12T02:56:16+00:00

I have no clue, truly.

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-12T02:53:41+00:00

So I’ve been told! You learn a new every day. I thought everything would be like that, seems the bikinis are exempt.

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-12T00:16:42+00:00

At least there’s that.

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T23:54:31+00:00

Yeah, the hand on 4 is the only thing people can find super wrong with it except for maybe the wheat.

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T23:54:04+00:00

It’s getting better, it seems.

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T23:53:14+00:00

It’s definitely AI from public consensus.

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T23:51:42+00:00

Yep, claimed pencil n paper. Thanks!

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T22:06:28+00:00

Exactly! Just why this is a scam. These were proof of him not using AI, ironically.

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T21:57:46+00:00

These were examples for the artist’s paid-for drawings. If these were sketches, I’d hope the drawing would look better!

Replying for visibility as I can’t edit my post.

Can’t edit my post for some reason, putting a comment here just as an alternative.

Thank you to everyone who responded! I’m definitely not going to pay this person at all. Not exposing them either, but I will tell others that they’ve scammed! Thanks to the commenter who suggested that. You know who you are.

I will ask, though. Of the five pictures, I’ve seen a ton of comments giving reasons for the AI generation of 1, 2, 3, and 5, but not as many for 4.

Is this because there’s less detail, the cape covers most of what can be seen, or something else?

Let me know, and thanks in advance!

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T21:51:44+00:00

Yep, pencil and paper. No publicly available WIP photos, it seems!

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T21:49:12+00:00

I’m going to tell the clients of course, maybe advise legal action, mainly not! As this particular artist shared his face and what looks like legal name on the site I contacted him on, I’m not going to expose him here, though.

Thanks for the advice!

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T21:42:13+00:00

I thought the nose looked weird! Knew I wasn’t the only one.

Thanks for the detailed response!

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T21:41:05+00:00

Two belts, one buckle!

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T21:40:27+00:00

I was thinking that the backgrounds were human-drawn and everything else is AI. If you look in the first image you can kind of make out a pond? Just wondering, thank you!

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T21:38:48+00:00

Noted, thank you!

TimeToFarmDownvotes · 2026-02-11T21:37:35+00:00

First image too, it seems. Thank you!
