Lady and Queen of the NightI fell before Thy gaze and strong pullLaidest thy nest above my weak skullI couldn't stand beneath this plightTaketh me to Thy majestic flightHooting across this desert in all of Thy Might

Description of the drawing: A digital drawing of an owl (specifically, Athene noctua, at least the species I intended to draw), perched above a human skull, amidst an endless desert under a reddish night sky, a sky of which features an enormous Full Moon glowing red as a total eclipse unfolds. The owl has wide open wings and she gazes at the viewer with glowing greenish-yellow eyes. The drawing is totally symmetrical horizontally (so it remains the same when mirrored).
Time took for drawing: approx. 1h35minTime-lapse speed: 60x (originally recorded in 1x, sped up using ffmpeg)Drawing app: Sketchbook (Android)
Recorded using native Android Screen Recorder instead of the Sketchbook's Time-lapse tool because the latter only records the drawing canvas.
Disclaimer (and a question, simultaneously):As the time-lapse proves, I started with a blank canvas. In practice, I made the drawing from a scratch, with no guiding layers whatsoever (and that's part of the reason why I recorded the entire screen instead of using the time-lapse tool from Sketchbook, because I wanted to make it clear that there were no other apps apart from Sketchbook).
Also, those who have the Sketchbook app can ask me for the project file (which is a .tiff created by Sketchbook, containing all the individual layers) and I'll openly hand it (not just for this drawing, but for any drawing I made and published).
However, and here I must be sincere about it, the inspiration for this drawing was AI-generated imagery.
Given it was neither traced over nor used as part of the drawing, I'm wondering: to which extent is this drawing a legit art or, given the slightest and farthest participation of an AI-generated image as the inspiration, even drawing based on my own visual memory of it would be considered "AI-assisted" or "AI slop"?
