Hey everyone! What do you think of this cover? Should I make it darker/more moody? There's something off with the girl's face. I've been fighting with my AI for an hour now, but it just won't give me a decent result.

I asked grok to make it look better. By the way, why is it so vertical?

idk :rolleyes:
I tried Gemini for image gen but it’s pretty weak. The girl comes out either conventionally attractive or totally weird, and the model ignores any corrections. I used to use GPTbut I stopped using it on principle

You can just edit it and make it more to scale for SH.

Thank you. Ill try
i took a long break, lost access to my old account, and I guess I've lost my AI art skills too. :cautious:
I played around with it, but it looks a bit stretched. You might be able to take this image and have AI fix it.

I don't know. Why the hell is it so long? Like, it's super fucking long. It will look hilarious when it's used as a cover. :blob_blank:
Also, to me, it looks boring. There are dragons in the image, but it's still super boring to look at. It also tells me nothing, because it's oddly specific, with two very expressive people hugging each other, while wearing the most boring clothes of all time, and then there are dragons randomly in the background, as if they were birds. :blob_cookie:
What's the atmosphere of the book supposed to be? What time is it set in? What's the plot about - dragons and fantasy, or some weird romantic story with a scheme going on in the background? It's giving a little bit of everything, and a whole lot of nothing.
I get it, you can't often convey everything you wish to in a single cover, but at least drive one vibe home.
Also, I don't like the typography at all, but that's also up to taste, I guess.

Hahaha! Thanks :)
This was the old cover https://www.scribblehub.com/?s=the+shifted&post_type=fictionposts
It was honestly even worse. I’m locked out of that account and can’t upload new chapters. Right now I'm waiting on Tony to find out if I can re-post the story, and while I wait, I'm trying to create a new cover.

How did you manage to lock yourself out, though? :sweating_profusely:
But yeah, I don't know, the whole thing is botched to me. It's overall too flat as well. Just the entire composition seems weird - as I mentioned, it's too specific, yet says nothing. The old cover has at least a vibe I can get behind. It may not be good, but it's better than the new one.
