This is absolutely a "call out" to a certain Tenkuu artist that has been recently suspected of using AI. Is there a pool for this? lol

But what artist is it referencing?

Since even if they went to AI, I'm probably still all for the preceding Tenkuu art.

Ah that one?

Too bad about the AI, used to love their arts.

Damn. That's pretty sad.
His art pre-AI era was not perfect but it was appealing. Had a lot of charm.

You can even notice the shift in style here in Danbooru if you look for anything from him from around 2 years or more recent.
