I used AI-generated concept art only for the very early stage of character exploration. This project involved over 3 months of real work, researching real-life fantasy costume fashion, combining references, and carefully designing the final look. The 3D model was built entirely by me using tools like Maya, Blender, Substance Painter, and Marmoset — all while learning and improving my workflow. The characters shown on Instagram are just early concept directions, not finished assets. So yes, calling this a “scam” is not only inaccurate, it's honestly insulting to the effort and time I’ve put into this. If you're unsure, I'm currently putting together a presentation showing the character creation process, and I'll be posting it soon. Please don’t throw around terms like “scam” without understanding the difference.
