Hey, I think the new Power Girl and Wonder Woman variant covers might be AI

look, I’m no artist, but I think I’m pretty decent at spotting AI “art” when I come across it. There’s usually just this weird look about it that causes me to raise a metaphorical eyebrow, and if I look closer, I can find the inconsistencies in it a real artist wouldn’t make.

Both of these variants were made by Daxiong, I’m not familiar with their artwork and tried looking them up and their usual style is very different than what they had this time around.

Let’s start with the Power Girl cover:

At first glance it looks fine, but if you look closer you can spot the inconsistencies

There are these weird ribbons? or hair? just popping up from her head and belt that kind of connect but are just confusing to look at

The belt itself is very inconsistent

The hair ends differently in places compared to the rest of it

There are lines in weird places

And for the Wonder Woman cover, I admit, I don’t think I spotted as many, but there are still areas where it looks weird

The lines on her “W” belt are inconsistent

The lines on her armband/gauntlet thing are all over the place with no coherence

And the symbols on her shield don’t really look like anything and they just fade away

Like I said, I’m no artist, but this looks like the work of AI to me.

I hope I’m wrong, I don’t want to see people using AI “art” at all, let alone professionals in the comics industry. But if this is actually AI, I don’t think people should buy these covers if the “artist” didn’t even think it was worth their time to actually put effort in and make them.

Bitches will find a fictional man attractive and then immediately imagine him in situations where he is losing alarming amounts of blood

this ramadan we pray for peace and aid for the people of palestine. this ramadan we remember the previous ramadans, where thousands of palestinians were massacred. this ramadan we honour palestine, and may we see a free palestine next ramadan

Seeing footage of the aftermath of the flour massacre in Gaza is so painful

"Where is my daughter? Tell her I don't want flour anymore"

"My brother was shot holding a bag of flour. He kept holding on to it so they kept shooting him"

"Why does flour have to be stained with blood?"

Over 100 have been killed. Every single one of them hungry. Every single one of them has someone waiting for them to come back with the bag of flour.

Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war against innocent civilians. Israel ambushes starving Palestinians and shoots them. Israel is not fighting a war to defend itself. This is another episode of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

if you donate one single us dollar to the unrwa, you will have donated more money than you would have by clicking that stupid arab.orb link every day for four and a half years. yes, they do actually donate money to the unrwa, but even with tens of thousands of clicks, most of that money is the baseline $90 they send every quarter. from 2023 quarter 4, half a million clicks turned into $380.57. maths out to six hundreths of one cent per click. just donate to unrwa.

modern social media should stop offering "sync with your phone contacts to follow them" options and start offering "block all your phone contacts so they never see your account" options

if you like a piece of media that is good eventually youll more or less run out of things to say about how good it is but if you like a piece of media that is objectively pretty mediocre but also somehow deeply compelling thats how the demons get you

4. 20. 27. 32. 46.

4. what's your favorite comic book friendship?

this is so tricky for me ..... honestly. slade and billy are very important to me but they're sooooo homoerotic. perhaps jason and rose......

20. if you were given a comic run for character dick, what would you write about?

first of all, i'd take retcon everything tom taylor has ever written about him. i'd delve into his trauma a lot more, specifically about his trauma with bruce. modern comics have erased bruce's neglect and dick's struggles and made him nothing but a shoulder to lean on. i'd make that fucker mean again. make him have to be held back from killing people again.

make him hate bruce again!! stop making them hug!! stop making them make up. dick isn't going to forgive him. and he shouldn't.

27. any comic runs you've been meaning to read?

i need to finish the og deathstroke the terminator and finish the outsiders. but i'd also really like to read the sandman comics!!

32. who are two characters you'd like to see interact more?

kyle and slade.......... but also. dick and kyle. and also. bring addie in more idgaf who she interacts with

46. what's your favorite comic book merch (whether you own it or not)?

my kyle rayner blackest day mcfarlane figure is my fave i own. but the mcfarlane arkham origins deathstroke got me feelin some kinda way........
