Sorry in advance if this thread is misplaced or already exists in another form.

I want to make fanart for a daz 3dcg game, and instead of asking for assets for this specific game i thought it might be interesting to make one that can give advice to anyone wanting to make fanart of any game, without a base experience long enough so they can recognize assets instantly.

So, usual case scenario : You want to make fanart, on daz, of a daz game. Dev won't share assets (understandable). Admitting that most of them are unmodified assets listed on the daz shop/renderotica/other, how would you, experienced fan artist, try to find out which asset is used ?
- Do you ask around for advice like i do ?
- Do you recognize by eye because you're that much of a physionomist ?
- Do you use special tools ? (like ai)
- Do you try and error undefinitely until you succeed ? (please no)

Let's discuss.

I've seen people open threads for assets and post what they know/tried and let people answer with what they think, but in this case (the game i want to fanart) there is only a few for now.
