I haven't commented much on your work since you've only somewhat recently started posting on here, but I've noticed your posts lately and I've seen a huge improvement in your work, especially with shading and lighting. I'd like to see you do more of it - it's shown that you've been working hard.
Unfortunately, AI has brought out the worst in some people. Anyone can accuse someone else of using AI, it takes someone bigger to apologize for saying that and owning up to a mistake - which was done in this case. However, it doesn't undo the damage of being accused when you put in hard work.
You've been drawing for years and I'm really glad to see you still are, not to mention how much you've improved since I first met you. I'd like to see you keep going and improving, because it'll simply prove everyone else who genuinely still think you use AI to be completely wrong.
Rou, you're a great artist and improving is a key to enjoy even more what you create. Having your own artistic liberties as an artist is absolutely important and priceless. Please reconsider and continue to experiment news things! That will allow you to improve and brings diversity to your creations
Man, I'm so sorry to see this commotion happen when I was just a couple of days ago saying how awesome your art experiments have been. I understand if you choose to stop. As a fan, though, I beg of you to continue with your work and rise above all the lies being said about your work.
Do not. Don’t let the bs win. You’re a fantastic artist and it’s within your rights to experiment with your style as much as you want, and find something that fits you.
Please continue! I think people have gotten the memo by now that you did nothing wrong. Experimenting is fun and I think you did a real good job on it. It's polished so nicely.
Take time to think on it. At the end of the day, the only reason there's any resemblance to AI, it's because AI was trained on great artwork like yours
no. keep on doing this. This improvement is amazing. Take it as flattery because even if established artists like them can mistake your art as such, then that means you were "good" enough for the chuds that use data to mimic pieces. >
You can enjoy in the fact that the data mimickers are already imploding because their actions made their machines reuse their shit over and over, so much so they made their shit worse rather than "better".
Rou please don't stop experimenting with different styles and ways to render. The growth you've shown from these pieces is honestly amazing and it would suck so much to see you turn your back on the hard work you've done because of what people think.
Do not let today's headassery get the better of you. You and those who have been watching you work *know* your work was made with integrity, your own blood, sweat, and tears, and NO ONE can take that away from you. I wish you the best.
No way, bro. Getting AI accusations just shows how much progress you’ve made in a short time. You are NOT going back, and you should be proud. Look at all this support you have!
Hey man, for what it's worth, take as much time as you need to clear your mind and soothe your heart.
But here's hoping you'll feel better in your own time and not let this keep you from exploring new, exciting stuff as an artist so many of us admire 💜
THIS was the art people said “hmm maybe it’s ai” to??? This is absolutely ridiculous- it doesn’t smell of ai at all! It’s still very much within your wheelhouse of “big sexy man” . People are cracked in the head.
The accusations from one person who has no idea what they are talking about. Don't let that deter you. You keep doing what you are good at and don't let anyone tell you different. Let the fire burn itself out, there is nothing to lose in a garbage fire.
This rendering is INCREDIBLE don't let random shitters stop you from doing this. Like Sid said, the only reason they think it's AI is because AI is trained on art that steals from people like you. Don't let AI have a win over how you can render your art.
Please take your time to think this through. Your artwork is incredible and it REALLY sucks someone attacked your craft like this, but try to not let that hinder your ability to create whatever you want to create. Please keep being the talented artist you've always been.
Yep whomever attacked you like this is not doing this in good faith also likely is loathing with hate cause of how skilled you are in your craft. That be compared to their art style they use.
in all honesty, you have more than enough chops and skill to experiment artistically. one jealous mf attempting to undermine that skill shouldn’t stop you from bettering yourself as an artist
No way dude, I loved the lighting and materials on this piece when I first saw it. I don't even know what happened yet, but don't stop experimenting because of some bozos who can't tell art from garbage.
It's worth it cause you can learn from it. Don't let people who undermine your growth deter you from doing your best. Life is too short to let others get away with ruining your enjoyment and pursuit of art.
I have seen you draw before and you don't ever use AI at all very hard working I do wished I could find a way to get a art piece of my bara Baja Roxas rat Sona drawn up by you but don't have banking info to do so since it's SSI payees I have to deal with So I have to use Etsy to buy commissions from
Rou please take a breath, I'm sure the stress from the accusation is heavy, and you DON'T deserve that, but please, continue experimenting, continue loving the work you do, what you do is wonderful, so many people enjoy it, please don't fold over one guy being a rude dude to you, you deserve better.
Nah bro fuck that shit, don’t let one little fucking insignificant mf ruin what you worked so hard for. You popped off so hard on your recent drawings I never expected it! Took me by suprise rendering like this! Keep going homie, we all gonna back you up! ❤️ Keep surprising us!! ❤️❤️
i'm really sorry you had that happen to you Rou. i think very fondly of you and it makes me wicked sad how antisocial people can be in the way they treat eachother online.
Huh. This particular rendering style has been completely burned by genAI, eh? Don't stop experimenting either case, stripping the joy out of doing art for you just so people don't say things about it is only going to make the whole thing impossible in the long run.
I can understand why you wouldn't want to but it's such an amazing looking piece. I do hope in the future you aren't discouraged from experimenting again.
AI is a plague. Don’t let false accusations, and empty shaming diminish your love of creativity. It’s not your fault that your work was misinterpreted as being “cheated.” You’ve just been caught in the crossfire of a blanket statement that un-observant consumers throw around to persecute art.
AI is awful and scary, and I hate that it’s ruining the lives of creators everywhere. It strips away the humanity in creation, and leaves everyone feeling empty. But as honest creators, we just have to keep being authentic, and human. Don’t dim your light because of the garbage of others!
The commotion may seem big now, but trust me, it is only a moment compared to your art, which is a continuous journey. Don't let this needless short-term rage damage the long-term journey you've set out to. Experiment all you please, you'll get through this.
I mean, if you want a silver lining to the accusations, it let me find you?
That aside, yea. I'm sorry. Take the time you need, because this isn't something easy to take in. I know how hard you work on your art, so to see someone claim it's AI schlock is truly insulting

We don't want you to stagnate your work
The choice is yours in the end, but fr don't let some braindead degens stop you from growing as an artist. The real followers got you fam 🫡🫡🫡
But here's hoping you'll feel better in your own time and not let this keep you from exploring new, exciting stuff as an artist so many of us admire 💜
Please don’t let the words of clout hungry fools get to you.
I really hope Rou continues to do what he loves the most, drawing big, sexy men for us to gaze upon.
