WotC to update artist guidelines moving forward.
How do you come to that conclusion? What other artist are you referring to? All I could find were 4 pieces, 2 before AI enhancement and 2 after. The pre- and post-enhancement pieces are extremely similar. The pose and colors used are identical, the AI basically just smoothed the colors over and brought out some details. I didn’t see any differing poses or concept art.
Huh, well I had an incorrect conclusion.
I went to find the original artwork, and I found this picture.
I had not seen the bottom left picture yet, I had only seen everything else, which lead me to conclude that the artist did a few sketches to imply that he had more intermediary works that he did.
I retract my prior comment!
