No definitive proof and the artist's socials don't seem to mention AI anywhere, but this piece has "that look." Artist's Twitter posted nothing but random Granblue Fantasy tweets from 2019-2021, then all of a sudden starting October 2022 began uploading artwork. In addition, the eye and hair colors here are different than how Texas is typically depicted. Plus my totally-not-substantiated-by-any-hard-evidence theory of multi-strapped bikinis being very suspicious for AI art.

Not saying you're wrong, but at least they took the time to redo the hands. No way does AI do hands like those.
I'm personally leaning towards AI-assisted, since this seems to have some traces of AI-generated artwork. there's a suspiciously blurry curve on her right sidelock, the bikini top's ribbon looks a bit wonky, the lineart looks fuzzy around the armpit crease, and the lines on the jacket's knit cuffs are kinda weird.
I've checked with the artist and they said they referenced AI when structuring the picture but everything else they drew. I'm guessing they might have done something akin to tracing it. Would that be considered as AI-assisted then?
