  The original is better because no higher resolution version actually looks like the original. It’s so weird, it’s not hars at all to make a higher res one that’s almost identical to the original yet all the ones I’ve seen just look like shit. I’m gonna take some time tomorrow and make a high resolution version with the details correct.

    The high res one looks better as a cutout instead of the full background, but the jpeg adds to the charm IMHO.

      The high-res one also removes all the shadows, I assume the upscaling algorithm believed they were blur

    I don’t think it’s an upscale. I think it’s an mspaint recreation. There’s no reason an AI upscale would turn the cheek circles into ellipses and move them away from the edge of the cheek. All the colors are also different, and the geometry differs in places too.
