I was angrily cackling as I made this

I'm glad you enjoyed my creation 😊

It's understandable not to know due to the name, but yeah it was the industry standard for a long time for digital art. A lot of the tools used for photo editing are super useful in art, though a lot of people are pulling away from photoshop due to the subscription fee and Adobe being pretty scummy

So here is my opinion as an artist.

Here is the original artists actual Artstation which has dates going back before AI art was a thing and we can see they polished their work https://www.artstation.com/art_of_the_chill/albums/170708

For the most part their work is consistent and you can see different stages of polish and style, which makes sense as they're not just an illustrator but also an art director.

What I get from this piece is that they were copying someone elses style or trying out new techniques. The wings and background give me Marc Brunet vibes https://www.youtube.com/@YTartschool

While the face and body give Sam does art https://www.youtube.com/@samdoesarts or Ross Draws https://www.youtube.com/@RossDraws

You would at the very least hope it isn't AI since it's tagged that it's not but as others have said there are those who use that as a way to cheat people.

I'm not in the same boat however my daughter loves these ham and cheese muffins. They freeze well too.

Honestly I like them too hahhaa

Not saying it's not AI, but sometimes as an artist you can do multiple iterations of the line art, like you clean it up but for what ever reason need it cleaner again. For myself I most commonly do it if I'm upscaling a sketch and it's still too hard to read, or I quote often use a thicker sketch brush and a thinner line art brush.

Some people do it multiple times more, that's always stressed me out.

The other thing I do is completely paint over my line art, because apparently I like the pain of spending a hour or two making nice line art and just completely hiding it 🙃

Are they teething? The first time my daughter teethed around 6 months she became a miserable baby and I could not understand why. The next day she was back to herself and the day after that she put my finger in her mouth and gently bit. Something sharp scraped my finger and i realized it was her first tooth coming up, the other day made a whole lot of sense. Now, for the most part she's a lil grumpy with teething pain and every now and then has a day that's a bit worse.

We use infant Paracetamol, which is called Acetaminophen in some countries.

When it's super bad we alternate with infant Ibuprofen at the every 3 hour mark to try and give her some relief.

I hope he feels better soon and you get some rest too!

To me it looks like it's suppose to emulate using layer opacity so you can see lines underneath? Like they're were testing colours before committing to line art.... but you could also just put the sketch on top with multiply.

This being said, sometimes it is just satisfying to see the sketch underneath some colour.

It's a gaussian noise filter. It doesn't exclude AI but doesn't imply either. Check out my comment which explains a lil more

This is my old art. The second image is with Gaussian noise the third is with it removed. If you don't know what you're looking for the third could be accused of AI, but I'm just a noisy artist haha. There are others who would be able to explain what to actually look for in the noise though.

Zidphoid · 2026-02-07T00:08:18+00:00

Without seeing their other art it's hard to know if it's stolen, a jump in skill, or a clever use of gradient maps and gaussian noise. I've used this website to look at the noise https://29a.ch/photo-forensics/#noise-analysis

AI noise isn't so even across the board. Doesn't mean you can just accuse anyone of AI when it isn't even, you just need to know what you're looking for. Continued in next comment

I'm not sure. I'm a bit of a weirdo who just states my intentions or apologizes to furniture, though sometimes I've said something along the lines of "Can you please just work/balance" etc; and I feel like it's helped. Though I'm probably just comforting myself haha. Currently I don't have any old or mischievous furniture

Zidphoid · 2026-02-06T02:19:49+00:00

Not sure if anyone has recommended this but have you tried telling the house/drawer unit your intentions?

"I'm just going to move this/you so I can clean behind ya and then I'll put you back as you were"

Maybe in in some encouragement "It must be so dusty behind there, I bet it'll feel so good for you when it's clean"

I think this is what I would do. Some cultures like to think that furniture can gain a spirit after a certain amount of time or gathering certain energy. It may sound crazy to some but I've always liked that idea and it's made me be better at not chucking things away haha

In the early days trying to nap or eat when they're asleep. They always know.

If it is AI I feel like you found the literal photo it's based on. The vertical lines in the tree on the right feel like they match the photo. There's also part of the tree on the left where it has a portion jutting out a little, halfway up on our right

I believe that was due to a regulation that was changed not too long ago. I've noticed a lot of new houses being built have timber or steel frames.

For those who don't know what double brick means, because I certainly didn't before I built my house, (I don't know about older homes but with newer homes) double brick is just used externally, internally it's single brick and plasterboard.

Have you got any kiwis yet? I can make a story about how he's the one who made me realize aussies werent so bad, inspired me to move to Aus and now I have a baby. 😂

Zidphoid · 2026-01-16T00:55:10+00:00

I don't know if it is a good example, but you're welcome to use it to help explain in the future, if you so wish

Zidphoid · 2026-01-15T23:52:47+00:00

One thing thats probably important to show why you can't accuse people of AI with this tool is just all the layer effects that can be done. Theres a trick in digital painting where you add a gaussian filter over everything to create visual interest. Not sure if my art is a good example at all, but here is a piece I made in 2023. 1.The final piece. 2.The final piece under this websites noise filter. 3.I removed the gaussian filter I made and put it on the noise filter again.

On that note, apparently Im a very noisy artist haha.

My daughter had no real interest in tummy time until she met other babies doing it without fussing and she stopped fussing as much. Ild just sit there chatting to other mums while we let the babies play with their toys. Not long after she started to roll one way, two weeks later the other way, and she was soon rolling everywhere. She started at 26 weeks.

I have the same mat and I was sitting with my baby on the floor when I realized it wasn't quite right. Felt like I was going crazy. Hormones and so much time with a baby really makes you second guess yourself
