~~Also, I think it's patently dishonest for the artist to imply that their sketches (which are not in the same pose as the original concept art made by another artist) was used in the AI generation. The end result clearly used the other artist's work as a basis for the image generation. It seems obvious to me that Ilya profited from other artists' work, and tried to pass it off as his own with some half-baked deceptions.~~
I was in error with this comment! I am leaving it up as an abject lesson. See the below linked set of pictures that gives more or less proof that Ilya Shipkin did use his own artwork for AI processing.
