Thanks! All of these are hand drawn. Started in 2021, and I started with just a mouse. I bought a drawing tablet later on for efficiency. AI could have done something quicker but for now, AI still can't do pixel perfect pixel art, and their art style is inconsistent. Useful in character design though when you run out of ideas. :)
Thank you for supporting artists! Commissions have significantly reduced after the wave of AI, but I'm still thankful for the technology though. I use it as reference, or for specific character design ideas. I guess other artists integrate AI into their workflow as well to speed things up. I see it more as a tool, and not a total replacement for artists. :)
