Deceptive practices
Deceptive practices, they advertise hand drawn illustrations but they are actually using AI generated images and tracing over them. I attempted to reach out to them to ask why they were hiding that fact from people then they claimed they had nothing to hide yet deleted any of my comments and the posts that showed they were using AI for and claiming it wasn't. Edit: They again claim they have nothing to hide about their process yet they left up a post showing unedited AI content that made no sense (extra digits, unregognizable shapes, wires that made no sense) and only deleted the post on one platform after it was pointed out. Again, this is deceptive because the post was to advertise the creative process and show the behind the scenes but was a clearly generated image and not a true representation of an artist hand drawing art.

Thank you for your feedback. We take concerns like this very seriously, and we’d like to address your claims with complete transparency. First and foremost, we do not engage in deceptive practices. Our illustration process involves skilled designers and illustrators who use a combination of modern tools and creative techniques to deliver high-quality visuals. This may include digital assistance, as is standard across the publishing and design industry today. However, every final illustration we deliver goes through a professional creative process to ensure originality, quality, and alignment with the author’s vision. We would also like to clarify that we have nothing to hide. At no point do we misrepresent our services, and we are always open to discussing our workflow with clients. If any comments or posts were removed, it would have been due to platform moderation policies (such as spam, duplicate posts, inappropriate language, off-topic or misleading content, unverified claims, or comments that violate community guidelines), not to conceal information. We remain committed to ethical practices, transparency, and client satisfaction. If you have genuinely worked with us or have specific concerns, we encourage you to reach out directly with verifiable details so we can properly review and address the matter. For anyone reading this, we stand by the quality and integrity of our work and are always happy to provide samples, walk through our process, and answer any questions openly.
