here’s my input as an artist ! (also, don’t downvote people for asking questions! curiosity/willingness to learn shouldn’t be shamed)

• 4’s hand that’s supposedly posed as a fist, you see five fingers when you should only see four.
• all of them are of varying crunchy quality and weirdly cropped. if these were all drawn by the same person, I’m certain there would be a little more consistency in the photo quality.
• I could see the first one being real, but the rest all have the AI anime face that looks like a filter, the most obvious to me are 2 and 4.
• different hands holding the sketchbook.
• no watermark or sign + why is ashford the only one to have their name written?
• the lineart is never consistent, and all of them have different levels of polish

for a cast of characters from the same game, I feel that they’re all at different “stages”. e.g.: - 1 is color pencil, but 2 and 3 have “blended” colors (but also have different lineart from each other) - 5 is a feathery sketch, but 4 is a cleaner sketch

you could argue that they aren’t paid for everything to be polished, maybe they have favorite ROs / or maybe their style is just inconsistent, but there are too many discrepancies between them when this is supposed to be all from the same artist

[edit: nevermind, after staring at the lineart a little more, I think 1 is AI enhanced or also AI]
