How I made “THE BAKERY DRAGON” my debut picture book!

imbgoing to cry i love books

That does even look like something ai could make
It has too much personality
Ai is all smooth

People who say everything is AI are just idiots. Best to just ignore them

Ai probably steals from u specifically and is known to steal from artist with a similar style to yours. But, ai definitely lacks the actual feel of your work and humanity u can literally see through all your drawings

AI-generated art ruined real artists' reputations 😔

Dont let hate devalue your craft! Those who truly values art will see the love you put in. Sure, AI art is high-fidelity, but it’s NOWHERE NEAR your level of craft, artistry, consistency, and soul.

It looks like an art piece rather than a book which is probably why people said it’s ai

That doesnt look like AI at all. People are weird. No worries! Your art is beautiful! 💖

Love your art Devin! Can't wait to get this book <3

this is breathtaking

I've been following you for YEARS! I have your print of the two black and white cats looking at eachother in a window that I spent about 30 minutes debating on how to split the cost with my sister. When I moved to college it was a big debate who got it since we split it evenly. In the end I won >:)

Definitely want this gorgeous book

Adult or not its gorgeous and the idea of a dragon at a bakery makes me smile. I might have to pick this up for my own collection.

Youre so incredibly talented.

I don't know if I should see "AI generated" comments as an insult or ironic praise.

On one hand, people clearly not saying it from the goodness of their hearts and are either using it to slander. (Or are just idiots)

On the other hand, I see it as someone saying that you're art is so good, they find it hard to believe that it's real XD

Either way, those comments are stupid, after seeing how much of your art process is on full display. Not to mention your art has style, heart, and very clear intentional, and consistent storytelling in just one image.

Just keep up the great work!

People are way too quick to call stuff AI.

Oh... beautiful

If somebody said my art looked like AI I would take that as a compliment because that means my art is good enough to look like AI art even though Ai art is stolen from other artists.

Just trying to find a way to turn frowns upside down.

It looks like AI bc AI is trained on stolen pictures like these and literally makes a melting pot of them to fit the prompt. The look of AI to me is that nightmarish, melted look with a side of out of place something or the other.

Perfect song for the video but I haven’t heard that song for like a year

"Telling stories is one of the best parts about being a human" SO BEAUTIFULLY SAID!!!! AND SOOO TRUE!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 im so sorry people thought this was AI! how disgusting!!! I hope that assumption goes away.... i wrote a blog for a website and someone said one of my sentences sounded like it was AI generated, and it was the most insulting thing i've ever experienced! authors and artists are allowed to sketch poorly or write poorly in order for the humanity of their writing to come through in drafts!!!!! 😤😤

This is so gorgeous my eyes got all gleeby and moist in appreciation

It does have the ai kind of artsyle lol

Boo

The ladies at the library I volunteer at Loved this book when they saw it they thought it was absolutely adorable they were all probably standing around the desk it was on admiring it for a good ten minutes!!

People tend to assume that anything highly detailed/polished is AI lately. Yes, AI tends to produce what looks like insanely rendered "art", so people jump to conclusions. But we have to keep in mind; where did AI pick this up from? Real arists. It's possible to accomplish what AI "makes" tenfold, because AI takes everything from what we have already created. This is also why AI generated slop will never be real art.

I bought this book and just got it yesterday’ so cute ❤

Non artists when they see a drawing that is remotely good

I think it's because ai art tends to be very rendered. Ai is really bad at simplified designs

This is so cute!!

Someone say it ai but here how to tall if Something is ai look at the Hands and see if Some things wrong

Yeah I also felt like it was ai. Despite how it definitely was not. Maybe ai modules are stealing your art

Those kinds of people have absolutely no idea what AI art looks like. AI could NEVER make art even remotely close to this.

It sucks that we’re in a time where we even have to be cautious of a robot drawing 😢
the art looks superb! I would totally eat the bread

Shes so respectful and kind. She didnt expose those rude people, even when she could have!

❤

If it was ai generated the dragon would change shape size color and art style every frame and the text will be unreadable

Oh god! Saying it's AI is such an insult to your talent! Your work looks gorgeous. All those highlights and warm tones are beautiful and make the artwork look absolutely delightful.

Wow kitchen dragon was really in the zeitgeist at some point. I have a similar story of a little dragon finding he loved to help cook. But had the childish joke of chilli beans causing gas and uncomfortable booty flames.

I hope you understand the privilege you have to do stuff like this, so many would kill to do this for a living. I’m so many 😈 keep up the great work mwahaha

So cute ❤❤❤❤❤

This should be animated movie

He looks like the dragon from beginning after the end

It doesn't look AI generated, but my theory is that a lot of AIs have been trained on her art a lot which is why it's able to replicate this style all too well.

I think they need a new “AI alarm bell” cuz theirs is faulty.

As an artist, I can tell this isn't ai.... cmon guys...

This is so inspiring! Love your art and your brushes make painting environments a joy!!! Thank you <3

i’m actually obsessed with this in a deep emotional way wth ☹️💘

It looks like AI because AI is trained on stolen art content, mimicking the overall vibe without any knowledge of form, composition, or storytelling. It may well have been trained with her own work, if she's published previously.

I’ve seen your work before AI was advanced enough to even get close to this. This is definitely your art.

I just ordered mine today.
