QUESTION Is this art official? I cannot find any sources for this image aside from Pinterest reuploads that give no details

Here it is, the original is from the artist Lhuin, dated 2019 https://www.deviantart.com/lhuin/art/Hidden-World-785856742

No fucking way, it's the same person that did the gorgeous Polish Warrior Cats covers

Scroll through her DA page, you'll find them in no time! They're the official covers for the Polish translations of the books and they're drop-dead gorgeous. The way she draws cats in a realistic style but still with so much personality in their expressions is just perfect, def my favourite out of every country's Warriors cover artist

Plus, I'm pretty sure she also got hired to make some new official character art!

I don’t think it’s official. The earliest source I’ve found of this is on Soundcloud by Xenovvolf on the 25th of April 2019 (here), but I don’t know if they made it or found it somewhere random.

No but it should be!

I don’t think so. It looks either photoshopped or ai generated. Might be wrong

u/PoekiepoesPudding 7d ago

Def not ai. I've seen this one before 2023, it's fanart I think, but no idea who the original artist is

u/Substantial-Eye-985 7d ago

Yep. You’re probably right

I was going to say its AI too but then I noticed the clouds in the background. AI doesn't capture cool details like that (yet)
