Sorry to be this person, but I haven't seen many others talking about it and I'm concerned by the positive reception it's recieved.

The Muca/Art Nouveau Gideon and Harrow by Mariellavee that have been doing the rounds on the tlt fandom circuit are very much AI Generated.

Here are the pieces. You may zoom in at your own discretion, but I will post a few especially egregious segments.

Some zoomed in segments:

The smudging, the strange stray lines with no clear human intent behind them, the strange fingers of course, and that one buckle that almost looks to have been generated in the shape of letters.

The "artist" of course does not disclose anywhere in her original post or tags that the work is AI generated, and its clear from the comments and tags that many people are not realizing.

It's clear Mariellavee drew over some parts to modify whatever the original generated piece looked like, but the meat of this piece is heavily ai.

This is not okay. The Locked Tomb is a beautiful piece of art, and the fandom contains so many fantastic and talented fan artists. I don't want to see the community poisoned with this nonsense. Support real artists and real art.

An update to this: Mariellavee also deleted the comments I had left on her original post of the Gideon piece warning other fans that the work is AI, and she blocked me. She does not intend to address anything or take the work down, AND she is SELLING prints of these two pieces.

Please reblog/spread the word. There are thousands of reblogs and likes on those pieces that should have gone to real artists in the tlt community!

I'm really really sad to see this. I originally commissioned these pieces a year ago and eventually canceled the commission based on some delays. I was refunded and the solution we settled on was that the prints would be sold at otafest instead.

I wanted these to exist so badly, and her original work is gorgeous! I do feel the need to speak out because these were going to cost me $250 EACH for poster size prints. I would have gladly paid that price had these not been AI generated and feel kind of like I dodged a bullet in not paying a ton of money for AI mixed media.

Thank you op for speaking out and raising awareness

what do you know of loss?

no words for how much I adore these two characters and the ways their journeys parallel one another's... take this as part character study (what if they helped each other heal!) and part ship content (they were made for each other...) anyways. the shadowzel illness never stops
