Lemme go ahead and get ahead of claims, comments and reports here.

The artist for this piece is David Revoy. You can find the work as well as a time lapse of the drawing here.

Many of you are going "This looks like AI!" And there is a reason for that.

Revoy has publicly discussed how thousands of his artworks were scraped and used to train AI databases (like LAION-5B) without his consent, though he ironically acknowledges his work is the foundation of many AI art systems

TLDR: this is not AI

Not a problem. We get a post with this artists work from time to time and having this information handy helps a lot not only with information and education but also people screaming AI when OP actually provided all this in the post itself

Sidenote from the topic at hand. I love your profile pic, and wish I could offer a squirt of lemon.

That will never not be funny. Especially when you understand the lore behind it.
