I don't understand your comparison; how does the misappropriation of a symbol equate to one using their popularity to increase awareness of a subject?
[β¦] Thereβs a couple other things that look out of place to me: [β¦]
Another one that I noticed is that the shadow of the phones cord doesn't appear to line up with the actual phone cord (the shadow appears curved, whereas the cord appears straight):
Window reflection (?) spanning the window to the table
I think that might be from the OS and someone just took a screenshot?
Ah, yeah, I think your right! Good catch π
[β¦] I feel like this image was at least partially AI generated, probably specifically prompted to be in her style (maybe they trained a LoRA to make it match better). I donβt get why the only video they shared of them doing any shading/line-work is of some shading that isnβt even in the final piece. [β¦]
My current theory is that they used the AI to generate the outlines of everything, then they colored it in after. The video actually is mildly concerning to me, as I fear that they're using it to mislead people into thinking that they actually did the line work by hand. I of course am not accusing them of this, as all I have is conjecture, but It's concerning to me nonetheless.
[β¦] Iβve found the artistβs post of this image on Instagram [β¦]
Fantastic work! Much appreciated.
Whoops, I typed the link wrong. It works now. Also the link in my references worked anyways.
Could you please clarify the exact feature that you're looking for? What problem are you hoping to solve?
what a day to have eyes
Also, why is the blue telephone cord stretching away from the telephone? Is the cord for a different telephone not shown in the art, and the telephone in the art just happens to have its handset on the ground or outside the frame?
I have a strong suspicion that the art was generated, so that may explain some, err, inconsistencies:
The phone cradle doesn't actually have a spot for the handset to sit
Somehow the floor changes its height up the wall
The bottom right corner of this cabinet appears to be missing
~~Window reflection (?) spanning the window to the table~~ ^[1]^
And yeah, the phone isn't even connected to the base, or, if the handset is connected to another phone base, then the phone base in view doesn't even have a handset

I have never seen a roman numeral 2 stylized with square brackets before. Neat!
I acquire music either through saving what I hear being played around me (if like it), by recommendations from people, by using Spotify's recommendations algorithm, or by saving all the music from an artist that I've found and filtering later by shuffling my library. The last one can become a little overwhelming as I've found that it can quickly balloon the size of one's music library, and the size can be daunting for me to filter through, but it does help me find some obscure music from artists that I like.
