This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The picture is part of a mural in the family section in some swiss trains. It pictures persons and animals doing typical swiss things. I believe it was human illustrated though.

These images/illustrations are made by Konrad Beck, here is his website: https://www.konradbeck.ch/

Me and my friends have found similar issues, in fact the same texture, just mirrored:

Wikipedia commons has an image where you can see the "new" trains with the same artstyle in 2018 which makes it plausible it is indeed not AI.

Me and my friends argued that he maybe photoshopped them around to make new illustrations instead of drawing new ones resulting in these errors.

Perfectly normal sitting underwater with no breathing apparatus, just watchin' an octopus approach. Actually maybe the artist intentionally put them underwater with an octopus. That man had too many arms. Like an octopus.

ha! interesting and thanks for the information.

Makes sense now. He needs three arms because he's got two turntables and a microphone to deal with.

Once might be an error, but twice? I'm guessin it's intentional. Like, why is this couple sitting underwater? The artist prolly put weird little things like that to make people look around for them. Whimsical, bc it's the family section of the train.
