I don’t think anyone wants to touch up AI slop, unfortunately – I recommend commissioning one of the talented artists in the community!

Thank you how long do I go about this

Also not to start trouble and artist made me a personal portrait after I did use AI but the one that I just posted is not ai

Then why not work with this commissioned artist, who definitely exists, to touch it up? It’s not great policy to just ask the masses to ‘help’ the work of a very real artist like that. What’s their name?

Well, this was beautiful.

“I don’t think anyone wants to…”
“…AI slop…”
“…this commisioned artist…”
“…who definitely exists…”
“…very real artist…”

And then the truth. It’s less beautiful since in your screenshots you expose the person who helped you, so I recommend either removing the screenshot (which you had no obligation to show) or editing it to hide their username and picture, even if it’s too late now.

Anyway, as they said in your DM, the portrait wasn’t properly formatted for GBA in the first place, which, among other things, meant that the head is too big to just be pasted on a vanilla portrait.
You’ll need to resize it, which will mean having to fix it again after that. Then there are plenty of fixes you’ll have to do with shading, anti-aliasing, etc. You’ll also have to make the frames and mini portrait, following the template they showed you in the DM (which we tend to call the “hackbox”).

I did the resizing for you, as well as some repaletting to keep it consistent with vanilla FE8 portraits, but there’s still much to improve like I said. If you want to learn, I recommend joining the Discord server and asking in the spritans channel. I myself have received help there after having genAI make slop for me, so there exists nice and helpful people there, despite what the vocal minority might lead you to believe. Good luck!

Hey thank you so much but like I said in the last message the photo wasn’t AI I legitimately post the Creator who sent me the post I explained it in my last message it was like you completely ignored it

I think you misread. I never said the image was AI-generated. Just opening the image and seeing that it’s pixel perfect with no more than 16 colors would already be enough to make a very reasonable doubt (and I say doubt because there’s already a pretty good pixel-perfection algorithm out there for genAI images, so it’s not 100% certain).

I recommended you removing the screenshot or at least the name and portrait of the person who made the image to not expose them.

No, didn’t the guy just clean up and crop your LLM poop?
I mean, whatever, plenty of people do that, but it’s false to claim that AI wasn’t involved

Also I do think the responses were like, kinda useless just for the sake of airing that they don’t like AI usage when they could have just ignored you and left you lonely in a damp cave full of rare cave specimens and aquatic snails
