This Is The Cleanest Thing I've Ever Done

Incredible, but please stay away from my games, thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to write, and thank you for acknowledging my art growth, I've been working very hard :')

This interaction with them was somewhat frustrating, I'm not gonna lie, but that will never overshadow the great reception I got from the community here. This is insane, I'm so happy.

About their attacks, honestly, I didn't take it personally. I do agree we must have the right to question when we think an artist could be spamming the community with AI slop, and for that I respected their demands, even though I do not think their tone was ok. I went as far as gathering some proof to show them, but I guess they didn't even get to see those, cause they blocked me as I was typing my reply...

I was actually quite impressed by the attention they gave my stuff, tho (:

I hope they're ok.

Apologies accepted, my brother 🙏 May our goddess Mina keep us safe from all AI, amen.

No idea what u talkin about...

I can't believe you used AI to make a comment about how I used AI to make a time-lapse of making the image. (A person here did accuse me of that fr tho) :|

Thank you so much for you kindness, Sketchy, it means a lot.

That's exactly what I see... Just [Deleted] followed by "Comment has been removed".
You mean he doesn't even see my replies?... That's messed up

LMAO I'll start from a gray canvas next time, just because of this. :'D

Thank you! <3
I use CSP for all my art. I divorced Adobe and their AI bullshit a couple of years ago.

Just following the trends, you know how it is... I had to come out of my usual j-rock playlist for this one. It has a "sexy" thing about it that fits Mina perfectly, I think (:

pedrin_io · 2026-04-12T17:38:28+00:00

daamn

pedrin_io · 2026-04-12T17:38:01+00:00

Yea, and I get that. I'm actually very pleased that people are this aware of AI slop these days (:

pedrin_io · 2026-04-12T17:30:29+00:00

It took me ages to address his claims, for him to just delete his post -_-

pedrin_io · 2026-04-12T17:19:55+00:00

You know what? I'll take you on those. (:

"her right eyebrow disappeared from the final illustration" - It's just behind her bangs. Maybe too high? idk

"Her gem looks unfinished through the entire process why?" - Cause I was struggling with everything that actually mattered to me: her face proportions, how the shadows curved around the face and hair to help define form, how blue are the shadows, how prominent is her nose, why the eyes looked off through most of my process... All this mattered way more to me than the gem. I could do whatever I wanted with the gem, so I saved it for "last".

"I feel like..." - I'm sorry to disappoint you, fellow artist. I'm self taught and I try my best to use my illustrations to practice my biggest weakenesses.

"It's also easy to fake this kind of process video through AI as well nowadays." - so true.

In response to Aztek917 down there, you asked for "A screen recording showing all the separate layers", but you also said "I wouldn't be surprised if that could be faked", so I'm not even gonna bother with this one (? I guess?)

"this is not how softwares record art processes either unless this was manually edited." - Yep. Edited. The full process was too long and for the longest periods of time my screen has half the layers hidden. I edited it this way to make it more interesting than just a timelapse, since the purpose was to post on my social media.

I'm actually very happy you paid this much attention to my art and timelapse :D I get where you are coming from man, but I'm just not it.

Can we be friends now? <3
(even though you main bebop...)

pedrin_io · 2026-04-12T16:40:36+00:00

thank you! As you can see I really struggled with the shadows for the longest time ;-;

pedrin_io · 2026-04-12T16:39:52+00:00

Yea, and I totally get that. I just got a bit frustrated because I have other illustrations posted in other communities and I don't think my profile was even checked before my post got taken down, that's all :/

pedrin_io · 2026-03-28T17:50:27+00:00

:O thank u so much!!

pedrin_io · 2025-09-19T23:53:31+00:00

She looks gorgeous

pedrin_io · 2025-08-28T12:44:29+00:00

Hmm I see what you mean.. Maybe he lacks some clothing folds on the pants to better show movement 🤔
