>>37786106Buddy, after all the autism I poured into breaking down the Grinch leak mural piece by piece and examining the design of it to a fucking ridiculous degree just to try and convince dumb faggots that it was fake while they were trumpeting it as real everywhere, yes. I'm a fucking expert on this kind of shit.
I can tell that when someone is clearly trying to copy a style but missing clear aspects of it that a professional wouldn't miss out on or fuck up, it means that the shit is fake.
That's how it was for the Grinch Leak's mural and it's inconsistancies with the real murals and that's how it is here.
>>37786097Are you forgetting that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were a thing? Yes, Gen 8 was well into development when LGPE came out, but they definitely weren't at the point of making concepts like these when they released USUM and there's no fucking reason they wouldn't use the girl from that if they hadn't designed Shield-chan yet for this.
And even that is a stupid stretch as there's almost no way they got into doing full concept pages like this for a final evolution without having at least a concept for the protag.
And again, even if all those fucking hurdles were jumped through for this stretch, there's absolutely no reason the artist working on this sheet would use a fucking market PNG for Chicken instead of just drawing Chicken right onto the page. That's what they did with Mallow and Serena in other concepts because for a professional artist something like that is actually faster and easier than pulling a random PNG into their file.
