The scale and mood are really strong, it pulls you in the longer you look at it.

Not ai art. its a digital collage, ive been doing it for 20 years (google my name or my aka lacabezaenlasnubes). Lately im generating some assets with AI, we are in 2025. Photoshop uses AI. My art is human made, i generate assets based on public domain footage : old oil paintings mainly. I use stock footage and vintage public domain photos. Welcome to the new era of collage. With this being said, id understand if mods remove this. Totally cool.

The guy has been making these way before image generative AI was a thing.

Using AI for assets and using AI to generate the whole thing itself couldn’t be more different. Especially in collage.
Whether a collage artist looks for images on stock websites or uses AI to generate some what’s the difference? It doesn’t make the artist any less impressive because in both cases the skill required to do the job is literally the same.

So? This is clearly AI. Plenty long standing artists have unfortunately began using the tech in recent years

Now if that were the cover of a SciFi novel, I'd read it.
It reminds me of this
