Granted I do not follow the AI art scene or anything, the artstyle itself doesn’t seem like AI art I have seen. It just looks like a digital painting. With that said, other than the fact that I cannot find any information about where the art for this album had come from or who made it, there are a few odd things about it:

1. The beast’s right hand has one finger that is oddly much longer than the others. Similarly, its left hand (while partially obscured) seems to have only one finger.
2. One of the beast’s horns is much more curved than the other. As far as I am aware, the horns on an animal tend to mirror one another rather closely.
3. The weapon being held by the human seems to have a flesh-colored handle or something. The angle at which it is held in the hand is also not quite realistic.
4. On the human’s right hip, that appears to be an elastic waistband, which does not seem era appropriate.

What tipped me was trying to following any of the cloth line work, it’s nonsensical and tapers off into nothing. The weird side claw from beast stomach seems not deliberate. It rendered the mans hair in ridiculous detail but let the beast tail smear into the background. The man’s hands are being influenced by the claws.

Then I couldn’t find an artist attributed to it, and finally it scored a 99% for Midjourney on sightengine.

There could be artistic choices being made, but consistency is all over the place, an artist skilled enough to paint that hair, but half ass a tail? Probably not.

I’ll donate $10 to a nonprofit of their choice if anyone can attribute this work to an artist.
