Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Yeah, I usually brush off 'AI comments', but it does disheartening when people accuse without evidence. I'll make sure to post progress pics when I post more drawings.

Looks kinda familiar. Haven’t I seen this a few days ago?

[–] BazaarMonk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, I posted it on different art communities.

Oh, ok that’s why. Cross posting is ok too you know.

[–] BazaarMonk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh cool. I'll have to look into that, I just joined here over a week ago, so I'm not familiar with everything you can do. Thanks for the feedback.

No worries. These things happen when using a new tool. If you think your pictures could be posted on several communities, you can make several crossposts from it. However, be sure the read the rules of each community before posting.

Awesome, and absolutely. I've only posted to communities where it's relevant. I appreciate the help.

[–] BazaarMonk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

All my drawings are hand drawn. You can view all my drawings on my instagram (electricbrainstem), where I have tons of progress shots of my drawings.

I agree that AI is slop, but don't understand why you assume my drawings are made that way. Can you please explain before accusing me of something I do not use.
