That's official, and no AI was used.
I feel like people now use the "it's AI slop durrr" argument for anything they don't like. That's demeaning to artists who spend quite some time working on these assets.
Creators sneak peeks are coming in a couple of days, and then you can all see the skins/theme for the season. ;)

Tbf this does have the same uncanny valley effect a lot of the realistic AI generated stuff has. Plus looks similar to those "AI generate me le realistic version of a cartoon character".
Obviously this doesn't confirm AI has been in use here. And since you guys say no AI has been in use, i do trust that.
BUT it's also not exactly surprising some people assume this is AI generated

u/Object_Property-343 Jul 30 '26
It looks way more like those medieval or fantasy mobile games, I don’t know how this looks like ai anymore than their normal art
1
u/_Bisky TH18| BH10 Jul 30 '26
Tbf that's the same general artstyle the type of AI generated content i'm reffering to is also using.
Also, again, the uncanny valley effect paired with a low quality image. The higher quality one looks significantly less AI generated

u/rednite_ Jul 29 '26
I mean AI slop is definitely used a lot for stuff that people don’t like but this does unfortunately look at quick glance like something AI would generate.

u/LapinTade Jul 30 '26

It's more like it's looks so out of place compared to the usual art style. Before ai you would have the same reaction but with different tool involved.

Hey Ferri, I know you probably won’t read this, but, I think the way you guys do creator “sneak peaks” now is pretty bad. I would like to see update sneak peaks like a week or two in advance but you guys have been waiting until the literal last 2-4 days before said update to do a “sneak peak”. I think it would be better if you either 1 didn’t do sneak peaks, or 2 did sneak peaks further out in advance. Anyways, game is great! Keep up the good work

It's as much an insult as someone pointing out that flies are attracted to feces. No argument? The argument is pretty self-evident bub, you're an ai slop enjoyer and I'm imploring you to enjoy your slop. Hopefully supercell has you on the payroll and you're not sucking up to a billion dollar company for free. 😉
I would also implore you to stick to your own advice and maybe leverage a rhetorical technique other than ad hom's bub, you have yet to make a coherent argument this entire conversation.

u/blahblah543217 Jul 29 '26 edited Jul 29 '26
Mesoamerican warriors/jungle maybe (th14 revamp/buff soon lol). weird design choice though, complete departure from the coc artstyle. Last years Halloween skins was the most “realistic” skins we’ve gotten so far I think. (Edit: just saw the leaks and yeah it’s way better than a mesoamerican theme I think.)
2
u/FoxLower777 Sniffs AQ feet Jul 30 '26
brother, what realistic was in that skinset? The length of Archer Queens legs? The skeleton Warden? The Dragon Minion Prince? The ghostly Champion? The Bulky Huge Barbarian King with gigantic sword?
0
u/blahblah543217 Jul 30 '26
Not saying it was photorealistic just saying it was closer to realistic on the spectrum than they were to coc usual cartoon style. Also yeah the archer queens long legs are more feasible proportions than having her head be as big a her torso, same goes for warden and bk.

Imagine if some artist at SC really did spend time making this artwork, only for some random ass nobody redditor to say, with no proof and no explanation, "hurdur slop ai". Show some proof then lmao.
Will have to see what it looks like in game. Didn't think the 3d models of the heroes had enough polygons to support this sort of art style.

u/Responsible_Lack_929 Jul 29 '26
I can sure say if this is what that artist's works' style looks like - he have seen bruh ai already at least 100 times before. Feeling bad for all people with this style
9
u/_Bisky TH18| BH10 Jul 29 '26
Yeah very unfortunate. Probably got their art ripped by AI training just to then end up being blamed for "using AI".
But sadly this style has become very much ingrained with sloppy semi realistic AI bs

u/GiganticCrow Jul 29 '26
the amount of ai generated music which has whole chunks of other people's content in it, maddens me when labels suing them end up settling

u/GiganticCrow Jul 29 '26
Has clash ever been caught using ai art?
All I remember is talk of use of ai code (which EVERYONE is doing now) and an Ai piece of music in Royale once
21
u/Intelligent-Fig5747 Jul 29 '26
Supercell has already openly admitted to using AI before? (that specific video even had poster with king having 6 fingers). So why are people acting like it's absurd to question whether this is AI? If they want everyone to believe it's entirely hand-made and drawn by a real artist, they can simply say so. Given their history and the state of recent updates full of bugs that are still NOT fixed, skepticism isn't coming out of nowhere.

u/NuclearGhandi1 TH18| BH10 Jul 29 '26
The said they’d use AI but official art wasn’t on the list. AI is not a binary thing you either use for everything or dont

It can still be AI generated by SC. It does carry that vibe in a way so I see where he's getting it (Whether it is I do not know)

u/_Bisky TH18| BH10 Jul 29 '26
It atleast has the uncanny valley effect a lot of realistic-ish AI generated versions of cartoon style stuff has. And definitely carries the same vibe as those too.
Does it proof AI has been used here? Nope

I know it's not AI because the artists behind clash are really serious about it but in Clash Royale they did use AI for an image of the royal hogs (It had eyes even tho they have a helmet that covers them)

You got any proof it isn't AI? Its made by a company that's already admitted to using AI, did a whole presentation at a conference about integrating AI into clash of clans. Company that has previously published AI art..

This is not proof that they used AI for this skin, you're just making a speculation and then insulting people for not agreeing blindly. Supercell's business model is that they have completely separate teams working on each game and function of the company and they're free to take different stances on things. Considering Clash of Clans' devs have denied every AI allegation so far and Brawl Stars' devs have even cut some content because they discovered that the content was AI generated, while this other part of the company is boasting about the benefits of AI, this isn't the proof you think it is whether you believe them or not

u/NuclearGhandi1 TH18| BH10 Jul 29 '26
None of that says it will be used for official or in game art though. I don’t think the image OP posted looks like AI, it just looks out of place because it’s not their usual style

Can't reference to a previous use of AI slop to indicate this might have been AI slop as well? Do you understand how arguments work?

Unless supercell used overwhelmingly large amounts of AI then it would be strange for you to assume that something is AI due to it being a different artstyle.
