A lil' warning about the first chapter of Season 2

Hi, everyone!
A new year has begun and, as I already told you before, next month, Season 2 of "The Redemption of Chía" will begin. But, because I must be honest with you, I have to warn you about something that only, and I repeat, ONLY will happen with the first chapter. But first, a little bit of context:
You see, for this story, I took as inspiration 2 things: The first one is the classic tale of "Sleepy Hollow", you know, the story of a supernatural creature lurking and terrorizing the inhabitants of a little town, and the second one is, well, my own country: Colombia, but, to be more precise: the human villains: The Vela brothers.
You see, for the Velas, I got as an "inspiration" 3 of the absolute worst politicians and prosecutor we ever had. Heck, I even gave them the very same names (except for the oldest brother 'cause I didn't want to be THAT obvious). Ok, the only reason why I created The Velas was because I needed a human villain for this season, and using those real-life bastards was a way to cope with my feelings of hatred. Also, for that reason, I didn't give them a design and it's not because I didn't try, mind you. But everytime I sketched them, I ended making awful designs and, truth be told, just like the real-life counterparts. Then I said to myself "Hey, I don't want to give them a design, I don't want to give them a true personality besides the evil bastards they are, I don't want them to be liked, and I don't want them to have a single fave. They're just generic villains and that's all."
Now, the reason of this post. You see, since I draw a pic for every chapter, I was doing the pic for the first one, but, for the very same reasons I explained before, I couldn't get a good one. Far from it, I got so frustrated and they got progresively worst that I just gave up. But, since I couldn't leave the chapter without a picture, I decided to use the AI to get it over with. Let me get something straight: I am completely against AI, but, since I couldn't let my bad feelings behind, I just said "Fck it" and used it do design the pic. Now, despite I want you to read (and, obviously, like) the entire story, I would like you not to give a single fave to that chapter. I obviulsy didn't draw that pic and it was just a lazy move just to get over with that chapter (still, please, I want your comments about the chapter, of course ).
There, as an old saying from my country says: "Warned soldier doesn't die in war", I wanted to come clear before you get surprised. As I said, just this chapter will have it. this will be first and ONLY* time I use an AI.
That's all.
Have a good one!
