I saw him posting “proof” that he doesn’t use genAI when he showed a screenshot of one tracing layer, like that’d be proof…
I can confidently bet my right testicle that he uses genAI, and maybe does a bit of “retouching” on it. There are way too many sloppy features to be original art, not even novices would draw some of those features.
Tbh, it’s more offensive that he uses it and then denies it. Like seeing your kid come home with bloodshot eyes and smelling like weed and he answering “no way dad, drugs are for losers!”
I can’t help but feel that this is slop.

Yeah, the dead giveaway is that no one draws guns like that.
Something about the composition is giving AI
The sepia tone, flat colors, and the linework is characteristic of AI, even if traced
They don’t look unfit enough.
