[00:02] through AI, and made book covers. On top of that, they have the nerve to claim it's theirs. I'm furious, and I need this to be publicized because people actually think they made it. So, this is Lucia's original artwork, and oh my
[00:16] lord, this is absolutely stunning, beautiful. And this was the post by our person of interest OP here, writes of Grr View. any parties involved, right? But they basically write, "It's here, The Cursed
[00:32] Skies", which is the name of their book, "exclusive edition cover". And they have the audacity to put art by Grr Vier on the AI-generated version of this beautiful piece. And they were literally selling it as the exclusive cover for
[00:47] their book. Here is another version where you can see the cover. And on top of that, there was a Kickstarter for this, where it writes, "Cursed Skies, a YA fantasy novel. She was never meant to love him. Now their worlds are
[01:00] collapsing because she did." Given the fact that the cover is AI-generated, I don't have that much hope for the writing due to that. And then we have our characters. We have Lark. Um he's looking a little little
[01:14] full res image, but not fully confident about the embroidery details. And then we have Skye. And then all the way down here, boom, exclusive edition hardcover and dust jacket design. And there's art prints. Which
[01:27] are these authentic? Did you like run these through AI, too? What I'm also this is somebody else because your main female character looks blonde, and your black hair. Who is this? Maybe there's something lore-related.
[01:40] interesting because April 24th, they highlight that they crossed $850 on funded, and that they're going to be sharing new art, book sneak peeks, and other surprises. And then 4 days later, on April 28th, the project was canceled.
[01:54] But the end result, thankfully, at least is the fact that it was canceled, so the artist's stolen work was not profited from. The artist adds, "Thank you all so deleted the post. They had an Instagram, but now it's deleted. They've also
[02:07] canceled the Kickstarter campaign they started."
