This gotta have a name in modern psychology. Every time I see a new artist I gotta look if they don't use AI for their stuff. It's like a curse now 💀💀💀

Ooooh, she claims to be concept artist and illustrator and that she worked for Riot games and CD Projekt RED and what not. That would explain the level of professionalism. Though, what she doing on FA does not haha This place just feels too amateurish and fetishy for artists like that haha

I've followed Akreon for years! She got her start back on DA. It's a shame she took down most of her stuff from there (she uses it now just to host her webcomic "Off White")
It's a shame because then you could've seen her progress and such (may ease your AI worries?). Here it is, regardless: https://www.deviantart.com/akreon

She has an Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/akreon/) but it doesn't go back as far, "only" going back to 2016.
Still allows some views of her progression and growth

As for why she's here, I think she just likes being part of art communities. She is and was a huge community member on DA. It wouldn't surprise me is she was just looking for more of that, particularly more casually.

Oh no, seeing her portfolio I believe she ain't AI. But you know what I mean when I say that every time I look for signs of AI. Just too many fakes out there :/ And generally, AI is becoming convincing, especially when you don't pay attention. And I start doubting my eyes sometimes.

It does seem like a slightly odd place so such a high caliber artist tho :D But it's always nice to have more artists on here xP

Ah, my bad! I misread you a smidge! I do understand being wary though! There's a lot of "artists" on DA I've watched and quickly unwatched because they seemed legit at a glance but further looking into their gallery makes it more obvious >>

I definitely understand the trepidation! If I hadn't followed her for so long I'd think "but why?" too XD

I did find her portfolio and multiple pages and stuff. So I see she's a legit professional. Just at first glance always looking so that AI slot haha Feels like that's the modern world, when you see really impressive art you start looking for signs if that's AI or not. I guess that happened to photography few decades ago too. With stuff like Adobe Photoshope.

I would beg to differ.

There are plenty of pro quality artists here.

A lot of "pro" artists got their start (or would mirror their work) on FA. The vast majority of them simply use aliases because a LOT of people would have their careers destroyed because someone on the internet played the "lets accuse someone of plagiarism cause its a meme"-game.

being chronically scared

Ah she did a lot of Gwent art too if I'm not mistaken! I think I once read that she also uses photo bashing and I was like: "makes sense... No wait, still incredible, wtf HOW???"
I love this consistent style she achieved, this satisfying polish.

That's a polish polish :D Haha

Oh hell yeah, that is some good art!

This is def some quality shiznit! +watch!

ay, neat stuff!
