Great to see more gl with an awesome style and cryptids, but I think there was use of AI in creating the artwork. It's gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but if you zoom in on a few select faces, there's a lot of weird, hair-like lines around people's eyes which look like unnecessary detail. Not to mention the oddly warped hands characters have in some panels. I love the style and get that it's abstract, but some elements appear wonky and misshaped - very tell-tale of AI generated works.
I'm little disheartened by the fact tbh. If anyone can provide a bit of insight on the artist, I'll rescind my statements. But honestly from what I've gathered, the author seems to have come from the blue with two polished comics (including this one) under their belt with little prior history and it's sending a couple red flags to me

the artist responded to you on X btw. they're pretty upset with how you just assumed it's ai without even researching about their works first. please don't ever do this again as it's very disrespectful.
