ApocalypticArt - where the remnants of humanity's past meet the promise of an uncertain future. This is the place for apocalyptic wastelands, remains of once-thriving metropolises and forgotten relics of a bygone era.

Provide a link to the image source or the artists' gallery / social media account(s).

Posting your own work is allowed and encouraged, but please let the community breathe and don't spam.

Don't post AI-generated art, since the legal situation regarding ownership is very shady.

I was curious and looked into it, they (or at least their deviant art account) started in 2020, which is when genai took off. The horror art feels weird, maybe uninspired? It's hard to explain how the monsters they 'draw' don't look right, but that could be the point since it's horror. Their non-horror stuff is easier to judge, since it's still weird without the excuse of trying to be. It's getting words correct, but those might just be titles added post-hoc. It feels like their style and skill level hasn't really changed, but I'm not a trained artist and i was just skimming so i could be wrong.

All in all, if this isn't ai I'll... probably do nothing, but I'd be very surprised.

That's what ultimately threw me off, including some weird perspective issues here and there - those could just be typical signs of a beginner artist, but something feels fishy about his artwork - so I've decided to hide this post and to not post any more works from this artist here.
