@csaurageul @Yuneless @IsThisRealArt_ If you're truly not tracing or referencing AI images you've generated, I'm sorry you're going through this. This will probably keep happening to you because your style is sadly a dead ringer for a really common genAI style.

In either case, I'll leave you alone from here on.

@csaurageul @Yuneless @IsThisRealArt_ Also I'm an art school grad and professional, I know how to draw. Spent many hrs of studio time drawing fruit and naked people using this technique. That's for replicating the subject 1:1 lmao. Your on screen ref doesn't match lines you're trying to draw so this doesn't follow.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@csaurageul @Yuneless @IsThisRealArt_ I don't know that there wasn't an overlay program. The parts where you appear to be looking at your other monitor while lining her tail in the 4.5 hr vid call that into question. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@csaurageul @Yuneless @IsThisRealArt_ Task bar is unfortunately very easy to fake, even with native windows settings, let alone 3rd party programs.

The unusual tb activity is the behaviour of the clock app, which frequently disappears from the task bar. I tried to replicate but couldn't.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@csaurageul @Yuneless @IsThisRealArt_ A 2nd view would enable you to trace on a 2nd screen, since it would remain static while the canvas you were recording moved around.

Not too familiar w GIMP, but I was able to set a kb shortcut and have it open off screen, even with a new file. No custom code required.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@csaurageul @Yuneless @IsThisRealArt_ You can open additional canvas views and position them on other screens if you disable Single-Window Mode like you have. There's also a lot of unusual activity on your taskbar(s) through out the video. Diff styles on either screen and your clock drops out a lot...

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@csaurageul @Yuneless @IsThisRealArt_ I mean, that would be one way to do it. More likely an overlay wth OBS or something. Weird way to draw either way.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@LwdTime They deleted it after someone pointed out all of the design inconsistencies between the different poses. Archa also occasionally draws the wrong number of fingers, so you can probably draw some conclusions from that.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@dou_gorou4 I agree. And some of this artist's older "illustrations" have the wrong number of fingers.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@BinderOfDemons FWIW, it looks like the style is AI generated, based on the fingers in some of Archa's work. I'd guess traced instead of fully generated though.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@_vizaz This is pretty. Just curious, but why did you draw her head wings like that? The one on the right side looks strange.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@SuvorovSATBO Sadly, they appear to be tracing AI. Just look at the fingers in their WIP Cerberus pic, the fingers in their (clothed) OC pic, or the purse strap in their Pandemonica pic.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@mewmirth Understandable, too. It's also really common for AI tracers to jump ship and start a new account once people start catching on, which just breeds more skepticism. Alas, that's the reality that gen AI has unleashed upon this world.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@mewmirth Sad, but not that surprising. People get suspicious when new artists with no online history show up and start posting a lot of art. AI prompters fit the same pattern.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@celebelian Have you ever considered sharing your process?

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@TionishiaLover Oh, yeah, I see what you mean. Strands of hair merging smoothly into other details is super common in generated art.

Suspect No. 1: _vizaz

This individual appears to be tracing AI generated imagery and passing it off as her own work without disclosing it. This is likely not the first account she's used to do so, either.

Confidence: High

Evidence below

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@TionishiaLover I'm not that familiar with models myself, but this seems likely. Even just googling "bluethebone style ponyXL" returns some image results that are dead ringers for vizaz' work.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

@TionishiaLover She's been at this for a while I believe. I have a thread here documenting my suspicions.

I've seen at least two people accuse her recently, so maybe people are starting to catch on.

[silentdebugger @silentdebugger]

That's all I have for now that I'm willing to share. There are accounts I found that predate neffesi, but they're not as blatant about tracing generated art and sharing them would run the risk of doxxing her real name, so I'll refrain.
