If someone asks who did your book cover, and you dodge the question, I'm assuming it wasn't a human, ok?
Normalize credit to the artist when doing a cover reveal, as frankly should have been normal all along!
"Hey look at this cool art that magically appeared from the ether!"
big up for this post.
Surely we're all conflicted as artists, maybe you perform one or two disciplines but arent a visual artist and you dont have a big budget.
There are thousands of talented designers who will take a modest up front fee and/or backend percentage deal to give you perfection.
Also, related, if you're the kind of person who doesn't learn the name of your cover artists or at least where you bought a premade cover
I do not trust you with my reading attention span!!!
I want to offer a free service to AI users. I will draw your cover for free! (see pfp for talent specemin) It's better to have shit art made by a useless piece of human garbage than have AI slop. Especially for a Sonic fanfic.
