It might just be an aesthetic thing, wouldn’t be the first time I saw a character wearing mismatched height shoes/socks

The colors made me think that too at the beginning. But some artist just have such a style (which is good). I didn’t find any AI typical artifacts but then again AI is getting really god lately.

I don’t have a verdict. And I want to say that we shouldn’t accuse artists of using / being AI just there was a mistake. Which doesn’t mean I discourage being vigilant about what is AI and what not. It is getting harder and harder to tell and this makes me afraid of our future with art-filled social media.
