So is this artist the same person as mikozin or is this an art thief, because this is clearly an edit of post #11641942. There's other examples of this, too.

You might be on to something.

Just a cursory glance and I found this artist's post #9816064 has the exact same face as post #8988935 from mikozin.

Edit: more examples:
post #10248737 from gu_meng_yin vs post #9087497 from mikozin
post #11680020 from gu_meng_yin vs post #7338330 from mikozin

There's also post #11756202 (gu meng yin) and post #10674840 (mikozin)
And post #11291175 (gu meng yin and post #6032599 (mikozin)

It seems like there's several artists who have styles reminiscent of Mikozin.

Possibly more.

They aren't as brazen as this artist with using the exact same faces in some of their pieces.

I'm weary to raise the accusation that these artists are using an AI art model trained on Mikozin's style, but it was very easy for me to find multiple models available....

edit: raised these findings in forum #454314 to see if anyone else can chime in.
