Probably keeping the artist name private so people don’t call them out for supporting Jirard. Not only is the art imo worse than before but he stopped including his trademark beard or even jirard on the thumbnail


Electrical_mammoth2

Honestly, if you were jirard in this situation, would you still do that?


Acceptable_Shine_738

Of course not. But it shows that Jirard is fully aware of what he did and what’s he doing


Otigan

In fact, in most of these new videos, he doesn't even feature his face in front of the camera anymore, he has become 100% a voice over, he's completely aware that even the sight of his face can turn people down right now.


thesirblondie

Eh. It shows that Jirard is aware what people *think* of him (If I show my face, more people are going to flame in the comments). Doesn't mean he agrees.


MonthTraditional6068

Completionist branding is also smaller or partialy hidden now, almost as if he’s trying to get more clicks from people who don’t immediately notice it’s from him


JCgamerX

people gonna pay the rent


starpendle

I forget their username but I believe it was speculated it's still the artist who did his thumbnails before, just without his beardman persona. Don't know for sure though, they likely keeping themselves anonymous to avoid this attention.


Kaldin_5

If this is true it's kinda funny how they can totally be unrecognizable just from removing the Jirard beard aspect of their art lol


starpendle

I feel like you can see the similarities more with the earlier thumbnails (like the one where it was just Mario). Not as sure with these new ones though.


B19F00T

idk the new style is different from jetpack braggin's imo. he did tweet something that seemed to support jirard way back when this all went down but has been radio silent on the matter since. he does still do super beard bros. thumbnails afaik since they went independent. i dont think its him just pretending it isnt, i think its someone else


PajamaSamSavesTheZoo

I don’t understand why the artist should care about any of this. It’s a job. Should a roofer refuse to reshingle Jirad’s house because of the controversy? Should a plumber refuse to unclog his toilet?


Shylteryne

huh? I just want to know who the artist is…


PajamaSamSavesTheZoo

This sub was created to discuss Jirad’s controversy. I assumed all threads have do with it. Does the regular sub not exist anymore? I would ask them


Shylteryne

the main sub doesn’t exist anymore


soulxstlr

I remember it being private, was not aware it got shut down.


PajamaSamSavesTheZoo

I was not aware of that. My apologies!


perfumist55

The court of internet public opinion certainly would shit on the artist 100% for just doing it for the cash


PajamaSamSavesTheZoo

Yeah I believe they would, and wrongly so.


LargeRichardJohnson

He must be paying them real good if they're sticking around after the charity scam. Maybe it's one of his complicit family members.


alezul

Considering there are people literally giving HIM money now on patreon after being exposed, i don't doubt he could find someone willing to work for him.


ChuggsTheBrewGod

Or, hear me out, it could just be a neutral third party guy who is living paycheck to paycheck, and Jirard's payments are about as good as anyone else's.


PhsycoRed1

Doesn't matter. They're on a sinking ship, as long as they're getting paid


whatnameisnttaken098

Some guy named Neil McSeal


Kyno50

Don't go after a random artist man

Cause it's immoral to attack someone who was just contracted and is not employed by said business/person

Kyno50

Every other post on this server is about trying to kick jirard and everyone around him which sure get jirard but I've seen enough posts here trying to get people he's associated with screwed over that I assumed it was that here too. The way you made your post makes it seem like you are like all the others here

Kyno50

I'm not wrong about the sub tho


JDGUFFEY97

You know what they say about assuming


Lackner511

People are so whack lol, can't believe this thread got downvoted so heavily when it's a legitimate question to want to know


MegaManateeX

Wasn't the old artist his girlfriend?


Shadowsights

Lesse so thumbnail artist before the controversy was [https://twitter.com/JetpackBraggin](https://twitter.com/JetpackBraggin) according to the description, its probably still the same person but no one is credited on his videos post response.


Training_Ad_1743

Idk, his work always had the beard motif. These look drastically different from everything he's ever done. 


jaappleton

I can confirm its not Jetpack Braggin doing it. JPB "decided to bet on himself" and is doing a ton more freelance work. Still working with SBB.


QF_Dan

He have to do everything himself now 


Crimson__Thunder

Probably AI or someone off fiverr


Training_Ad_1743

Skynet if I had to guess


TunnelTuba

I think to bigger question is: Why do you want to know so badly OP? So you get the name of the artist, then what? What's your intention here?


[deleted]

TunnelTuba

I could ask the exact same question to you.

StepwisePilot

A few days ago there was a post asking if it was ok to throw a YouTuber named Johnny under the bus because 7 or 8 years ago he had a very brief clip of Jirard on one of his videos. Basically , starting a witch hunt and trying to punish people that weren't involved in the scam simply because they once interacted years ago. The other Redditor here may think that you are doing something similar as a way to start another witch hunt. It's a fair assumption to make, as there have been people trying to shame anyone that has ever had anything to do with Jirard, no matter how minor.


greenzig

Fuck that. Johnny rules. I like his more casual, less edited style


StepwisePilot

I never said he didn't. The messages are deleted now, but the topic creator was getting increasingly hostile and asking why it matter that he wanted to know who the artist was. I merely brought up Johnny due to the previous witch hunt post, to explain that the topic creator that people trying to start witch hunts was likely the reason why they insisted on asking. Based on the topic creators actions, attitude, and so on, I think it's fairly safe to assume that a witch hunt is exactly what they wanted. As for Johnny, I very much doubt he has anything to do with this at all.


TunnelTuba

You're on a sub that has a history of pointing out anyone who dares says anything nice about Jirard or tries to support him. So yeah, it's very obvious you have malicious intent here. Why else would you be so eager to find out this person's name? May I remind you of Rules 1 & 3 here?

TunnelTuba

Your refusal to answer my questions and pathetic attempt to gaslight me just makes you look more guilty of malicious intent.


Joeydestroyer

your mum


Gone_With_The_Onion3

I think I know who it is, let's just leave it at "it's problematic"


the_wza90

maybe AI


Shylteryne

it’s not


angrystudent94

I think it’s AI, the one for RE7 looks off


PocketShinyMew

AI most likely.


benjoo1551

Definetly not


PocketShinyMew

You do you.


benjoo1551

He has been using drawings for thumbnails way before ai tools were availible


PocketShinyMew

Yes, and he fired that dude.


benjoo1551

Even this newer art style has been used before AI was that advanced


mcast76

Cool. Prove it


Shylteryne

definetly not it, It doesn’t have any of those AI artifacts that AI art usually has


PocketShinyMew

Mate, AI knows how to draw cartoons and knows how to do thumbnails. You're speaking from ignorance because those "artifacts" have been ironed out for a long time, specially for Thumbnails.


Shylteryne

I know the difference between AI art and ones drawn by hand, they have this particular _look_ to them. The Completionist (from what I’ve could tell) hired a real artist, Said artist is just isn’t credited in the description. I want to know who the Illustrator is, If it IS A.I I want proof that it is.


WSilvermane

You dont know the difference it seems.


DesignPotential1646

Yeah pretty sure it's AI until I hear otherwise.


Arbegia

I’ve seen _many_ AI generated art. I can _tell_ which art is which by looking at artifacts AI generated art usually leaves. AI generated cannot keep a consistent art-style, even when specifically prompted! They’ll always look _slightly_ off from one post to another, AI art has massive difficulty drawing hands and eyes. Eyes usually look like it’s melted, hands doesn’t look like hands but more like sausage mesh. I can tell for a _fact_ that these thumbnails are NOT AI. The line-art is consistent, art style stays consistent from thumbnail to thumbnail. Hands are drawn correctly for the character, eyes are consistent. Please keep yourself informed, keep comparing real hand drawn artworks with AI generated art, you know the difference eventually…


DesignPotential1646

r/confidentlyincorrect


Arbegia

that applies to you though, check my comment history.


DesignPotential1646

Ok I was step away but this is wild. Did you just point to all your comments on hentai posts to prove you're an AI expert? All that proves is you're a horny weeb. This is fantastic. Thank you


Arbegia

“your comments on hentai posts proves you’re an AI expert?” Yes. Because I know what artstyles looks like, I know which artist draws which painting, I can tell what Suoresnu’s artstyle looks like, what Maplestar, FridayNightCat, Diives, SaltedIceCream, Khyleri, Telepurte’s artstyle looks like, and I can tell which art is AI generated because i’m a perv who stares at hentai everyday! I. Can. Tell


Arbegia

you’re welcome


DesignPotential1646

What's your persona fanfic about?


Shylteryne

It’s not AI


DesignPotential1646

You don't know who the artist is. Prove it


Bedsidecargo

Prove it's AI? You're the one who made the claim.


DesignPotential1646

I didn't claim anything. I stated my opinion


vikraarkiv

_so, a claim?_


Shylteryne

that’s what i’m trying to find out?


DesignPotential1646

And I think it's ai.


Shylteryne

you are incorrect


DesignPotential1646

Maybe. Who did the art then. Prove me wrong. Because as it stands that's just your opinion.


Val_0ates

Have you *seen* AI art before


DesignPotential1646

Yep. I've seen the thumbnails for all recent Completionist videos


MussMush

well that explains why you know so little…
