Anime characters who are the object of worship in the church of belly!
- Posts must feature "midriff moe". That is, anime characters with visible midriff. That's all.
- No nudity. Lewd art is fine, but mark it NSFW.
- If posting a more suggestive piece, or one with simply a lot of skin, consider still marking it NSFW.
- Include a link to the artist in post body, if you can.
- AI Generated content is not allowed.
- Positivity only. No shitting on the art, the artists, or the fans of the art/artist.
- Finally, all rules of the parent instance still apply, of course.
SauceNao can be used to effectively reverse search the creator of a piece, if you do not know it.
You may also leave the post body blank or mention @saucechan@ani.social, in which case the bot will attempt to find and provide the source in a comment.

Shadows are weird in a human way. It's not ai and don't blindly accuse or ask if it is without evidence, it's rude to human artists.
Reasons why it doesn't look ai:
-Can see strokes from line work, including mistaken double lines, and "hooks" from quickly laying down parallel lines
-Shadows that are "wrong" do have a source from the direction of the light, they're just slightly too big or misshapen
-There are no "organic" artifacts. AI generates images by removing everything that isn't the image from pure noise over the course of several noise removal and addition steps. That leaves behind artifacts in the form of organic looking blobs that were parts of the image during a previous noise removal, but were abandoned in the final one
-None of the unimportant or background details look wrong
That why I asked, I am pretty bad at art. Thanks for the detailed answer.
Fair enough. Just be careful, because people will often ask questions as a way to accuse without the social risk that accusations bring with them.
... Okey. I dunno how to be more carefull than just asking. If you have suggestion I am open
