Bizarre thing for a premium brand to do, an artist wouldn’t have been expensive (especially for this kind of style) and would’ve also given them a name, a story, someone to help push the products, etc https://cjleo.com/blog/moleskine-ai-lord-of-the-rings-collection-can-only-mock/

The thing with them using slop maps of Middle Earth in promo material is yet another example of how standards have shifted, not v long ago if you were that careless with a major licensed brand it was a serious matter that’d jeopardise your job, now it’s commonplace & seemingly accepted

@mattround@crispsandwi.ch I’m sure it will lose them the support of a lot of artists too. Although I’ve heard from a few that the quality isn’t what it was.
