There is influx if Ai bros claiming they are traditional artists, illustrating for N year etc. to give themselves legitimacy in topics about Ai issues and art. But when you check their portfolio, there is nothing there but Ai. Don't fall for that BS, their lies are easy to prove.

@Mark__Lawrence I downloaded the .psd file. I am sorry to say, things don't add up. The character originates from stock photo, but you can run photos through MJourney and have it do variations. You can see pixels in the psd file, especially on fairy. A 300DPI image should not have that.
