        Don’t feel bad. The part that sucks is that we have to even check nowadays whether or not our memes were ethically sourced.

      I don’t care. Looking at it makes me feel good. I’m not talented enough to make art like that, and I don’t have money to commission others to make art like that.

        Plenty of images of anime girls online to make memes out of without supporting corporate abuse.

        Also, talent is simply applied skill. The only thing keeping you from drawing like that is time and effort.

          And The desire to invest into becoming good at drawing stuff. It would be cool if I could, but it isn’t something that see as something I absolutely need.

            I totally get that, I tried to make art a job and stopped drawing for a decade because of it. But we fall back into the issue of supporting corporate abuse for convenience when there’s plenty of other images of anime girls out there. AI art has the same issues as sweatshop labor but is much easier to avoid.

      the fuck? it’s a nice picture, just let it be. it’s IMHO a better image than many hand-drawn ones.

        …and the username just made the meme, not the art.

        Also

        a) low resolution image

        b) the collar looks wrong, megumin wears no bell, and what is that buckle? looks like garbage.

        c) the holes on the chair are not parallel, the one on the right makes no sense

        d) what is that green thing on the right? most weirdly shaped pillow ever?

        My assessment is: AI indeed, but check the one on Instagram (it’s a bit higher quality) and you decide.

          The green thing could be part of a stylized plant, but the most damning thing to me is that left eye where the reflective part of the iris is in the border around her eye.
