So I'm going to come right out and say that I'm unsure whether or not I should say AI is involved in the creation of this image or not. Like I made a prompt of a Renamon in armor in a cave, grabbed a few of them and used them as references only. So AI was used to create a general idea for pose and anatomy, for a general background and weapon. That said, nothing in the actual image itself had any program in its creation outside of photoshop. My personal stance on AI is that it's never going away and will be eventually a tool, but for now I figure I can use it for inspiration on the two aspects of my drawing that I'm currently really bad at, which is posing (I'm really bad at picking good poses that are not straight forward or to the side) and backgrounds. And using AI, I can basically go with a "this looks good enough, let's try drawing this." So like I said, unsure whether to say AI is involved in the creation of this drawing as it was used in the planning stages, but not in anything beyond the planning stage.

As for the image itself I found it amusing how as someone that draws a bunch of foxes that I had never drawn Renamon before. And because why not I had them wearing a suit of armor, well sort of. The armor is very noticeably lacking in certain areas, but that's kind of what you get with female armor designs. I am very happy with how the hands turned out and for the most part even how the armor turned out (except not entirely happy with that left leg). Kind of meh on the background, though. All told the image took 7.75 hours long start to finish.
