It’s really good! But as for some constructive criticism, I would say the animation is a bit choppy, and the layers (if you have layers for it; i.e. Head-dress, head, hair etc.) don’t really move in a natural fashion. Also the angled of her arm is a bit off.
All in all it’s an amazing animation, and the color and shading is almost perfect. It may be a lot of extra work, but it definitely would be worth it if you added more frames (more frames = smoother animations + more practice, and more practice = better animations) But it’s your life and your choice, so do whatever you want most!
Oh damn, really? First I've heard of either AI generated accusations or tracing accusations, which is rly unfortunate if true. Are there posts/links to evidence of either?
Since I'm the one responsible for it, here ya go: comment #2526081 There's also the thing(s) in their twitter where art posts gets deleted when people identifies those as AI generated.
In this particular post, the AI is kinda obvious. The musculature doesn't follow normal human's (no, that's not how normal triceps looks), the shiny effect on her glutes somehow has 'dimples' on it that (again) doesn't follow the lighting, and most easily identified: the pattern on the pillar she's leaning on does not follow any sensible pattern.

Damn. I really liked shexyo's art. I still appreciate the style, but some of the possible ai assist's, especially the one with orihime's anklet merging into her slipper, are pretty glaringly obvious yeah. Hopefully Shexyo is more upfront in the future about it if they intend to keep using ai assist.
Thanks for all the good info! I appreciate it.
Do you know if there been any other accusations of tracing, aside from Smashko above, out of curiosity?

It's on their deleted twitter posts. Maybe if you trace it there's gonna be screenshots somewhere, but I don't waste time with Twitter drama. Unless if you meant in this site-wise, you can check topic #22285 for AI-identifiers. Scattered in that forum topic are various people pointing AI assistance or outright AI creations from artists, shexyo included.

Shexyo traced before just using AI. They traced art from CuteSexyRobutts and there’s a lot about it, then they switched to AI and don’t put any effort into any work and simply use AI to mimic others styles and use it to get money out of people from Patreon when they went from tracing others art to using AI.

Well what do you expect the IDF to do? Hamas are using civilians as shields while using hospitals and schools at launch points for their rockets. It’s a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation- wither you refuse to destroy the launch sites to avoid civilian casualties thus allowing Hamas to bomb your countrymen, or you do bomb the sites thus saving your countrymen but killing civilians in the process.

So first of all countless deaths and untold destruction were wrought without any justifiable target anywhere nearby. They just kind of handwave it as there being something, somewhere, that they had to destroy while demolishing entire city blocks. Once it was because the building had a camera on it that they decided was a Hamas camera. 20 people dead and a hospital unable to help the people in the city ever again because 'there was a camera.'
But the distance from reality aside, it's still absolutely crazy to say. What do I expect them to do? Be better than terrorists. Do more to preserve life than psychotic killers. To not parade about on social media with videos of themselves yukking it up while breaking into homes to steal, destroy things, or mock women and children. If a police officer went into a hostage situation where the perpetrator was using a human shield, and just, immediately, gunned down the hostage along with the perpetrator while shouting "HEADSHOT" at the top of his lungs, I'd think he's a fucking lunatic. Being put in that situation isn't justification to do whatever you want all the time every time. There's got to be a line where you say the cost of innocent life is too much, but that line NEVER comes for this conflict. Whenever and whatever they want to do they do it and then justify it later.
They deleted their pixiv and bsky over this and made an account just to remove links from their artist page lol.
Shame they’re taking this route instead of just filing a takedown request. I really like their art.
Blame the people overhyping AI scraping again even though they already scraped everything on the internet ages ago (and they also still use twitter which already feeds everything to grok)
