This is an AI concept art that I worked up using descriptions uploaded to GPT, which then gave me its interpretation of how each of my characters looked, and then helped me create this image. It's for a book trilogy I'll be finishing up over the summer and begin releasing this fall. I can't say that the AI got the characters flawlessly accurate, but it did well enough. :) What do you guys think of the concept? I'm gonna have my cover artist work up an actual concept art similar to this, but for a temporary concept one, how well do you think the idea goes over?

Without knowing anything about the characters, if you've got an urban grunge fantasy going, the AI pretty much nailed it, Anything else... not sure.

Not a big fan of Gen AI use for concept art


But oh well, this is just how the modern world works now. To give my thoughts:

It's a bit boring to have all the main(?) characters lined up in such standard poses, looks more like a character reference line up than a illustration meant to advertise. Maybe have them posed in ways that are unique in their personalities or if you want to keep them all standard only have their profiles showing with the name of the work on top and other kinds of text on the bottom, kind of like this:
