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:
Tumblr media
At first glance it looks fine, but if you look closer you can spot the inconsistencies
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
The belt itself is very inconsistent
Tumblr media
The hair ends differently in places compared to the rest of it
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
The lines on her “W” belt are inconsistent
Tumblr media
The lines on her armband/gauntlet thing are all over the place with no coherence
Tumblr media
And the symbols on her shield don’t really look like anything and they just fade away
Tumblr media
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.

hey there! I love your posts and edits, but I kind of wanted to warn you that the new Wonder Woman variant by Daxiong seems to be AI “art”. There’s a lot of weird inconsistencies on it (and the Power Girl variant) that a real artist wouldn’t make
link me to confirmation!
eta: you can check the reblogs for their linked post dissecting Daxiong's art
you can also check out his IG here where he's sketching and coloring his art by hand: https://www.instagram.com/daxiongart/?hl=en
he may have used AI art to finish out the cover but I don't think he used it to completely create the artwork itself but I hope he uploads the process of making his covers because using AI as a professional artist is egregious
thanks for the heads up @soranatus

Last month we got to see the up coming covers for June and they included 3 from artist Daxiong that were immediately... suspicious.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Probably the most egregious aspect is how the hair runs into each other. When I first saw this cover, I sent a message to my friend saying "This one feels very AI generated both in the anime realism style and the way everything is rendered".
But then I looked deeper on the artists socials and they've been posting art in this style for years. The only difference is that it's all traditional, not digital like the submitted covers. The boy disgital art they have is from 2021, and at that point the rendering skill is not on par with where it's supposedly at now. But even in recent months, they posted art with that weird organic hair & texture aspect.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A couple hours after the solicitations were released (the covers were shown to the public), and right while I was talking to my friend about it, they posted the lineart of the drawings.

Folks, remember Daxiong’s DC variants he with with AI? DC quietly confirmed he did use AI, they cancelled the variants, and replaced them with cover art made by actual artists
I found a few small sources confirming this, along with the new covers created by actual artists
Wonder Woman #10: Daxiong —> Dan Panosian
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shazam #12: Daxiong —> Cully Hamner
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Power Girl #10: Daxiong —> Dave Johnson
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’m glad DC cancelled the original covers. It’s not worth buying art of any kind if no one spent the time to actually make them. These new variants being made by actual artists are a million times better for that reason alone, that real human artists put their time into making them, and not AI stealing from what has already been created.

Hi heipao-daxiong, do you nap with your kitty friend?
Tumblr media
A familiar face! Hello there!
I do occasionally nap with Da Qing. We find we agree on many things when I’m in this form. Naps are no exception. I believe one should nap exactly as long as one needs, but Da Qing and I sometimes disagree on exactly how long that is...
I’m afraid he rather too often manages to convince me however. I find I’m less argumentative in this form. Less eloquent too, especially when the sun is warm and the pillows soft…..
