I suspect he used AI to do the bulk of the work generating images, then manually touched them up himself, which is how GenAI is used in professional settings. Judging by his Instagram he's still a skilled artist in his own right. Still, if I can't find more damning evidence besides a hunch I usually wait for them to upload more art, at some point they upload something with more obvious tells.

It can, though. You can ask it to make small changes to a pre-existing image and you'll get a result that looks something like this. If he had redrawn the faces manually then the features that don't need changing (the nose, the ear) would not have changed at all.
