This is so obviously AI btw, and it looks nothing like anime. There are some really talented animators that they could’ve hired, instead they put out something that looks like a Snapchat filter. So gross.

[Thread] A couple of weeks ago I did a thread showcasing some of my football kits illustrations. Here's a new one of some boots and footballs that I've illustrated in the past year; Starting off with the first one I did, The Azteca.
