Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Hello, these are the covers of my self published saga. I know the third is a bit blurry (this was actually the first one of the saga and I wasn't good with editing lol) .

I was wondering if I should make a second edition with new covers.

What are the vibes?

Edit: the titles in English are:

The knight's ghost The rise of the Necromancers The reconquest of the kingdom

Hello!! first time posting here! hoping it won't be the last! it is an animeish cover so i was unsure whether to post this.. my author didn't want his name to be featured so soon since he says his book isn't finished yet but we plan on possibly making it a comic in the future!

So the story goes like this, I hired someone from Fiverr to do my book covers and it turns out, most people think its been done using AI. So I have now took the trouble of redoing my covers through one of this sub reddit's members Mr u/book_maark , who I think did an excellent job.

Feedback Wanted Thoughts on a cover (military science fiction)

Post image
0 Upvotes

I want to make it abundantly clear: this is not the final cover! This is a rough sketch/prototype of the cover! I was curious how people felt about the idea behind it. Please pardon the horrible quality, as I do not typically use digital art, and do not have much experience with art as a whole. (-‿-")

This idea was *partially* inspired by the box art of Ace Combat 2 for the original Playstation, if anyone was curious.

Advertising Services New writing platform that features cover art marketplace. Looking for artists!

36 Upvotes

Hey guys, posting on behalf of fictionite.com , a new web novel platform that's making a commitment to being human only.

The site is brand new and just a week ago we made the decision not to allow ai covers, so authors are scrambling to commission something for launch.

The platform is going to feature a marketplace for cover artists to list their work so authors can reach out for commissions or to buy existing pieces.

If you're interested in advertising directly to authors in the community feel free to join the discord https://discord.gg/zrBpftzc (updated)

If you are planning on advertising your work there, be prepared to post a speedpaint for any work you want to advertise. Any commissions you do for authors in that server would require a speedpaint at the end to stay a member of the community and continue to advertise. We're doing this and a few other things to help ensure no AI-art is sneaking in to the best of our ability.

No ai art welcome, folks do scan. Thanks, everyone!

Question How to find assets for book covers?

8 Upvotes

For reference, I have a near-completion, conceptual book cover, heavily edited by me in Illustrator.

That being said, one of the main elements (singular .png character art) that has been edited to look original (I like how it looks, but not the connotation of its origin) - is AI generated. Obviously I don't want it to look like slop, so it's been stylised how I imagined the book cover. I've only ever used this for conceptual mocking up and never intend to publish using AI imagery.

I'd like to either find an asset to replace it and edit it myself, or commission someone to design the character with me so it's 100% human.

If I do search for assets, where might I be able to find them? A simple Google won't do as it'll have to be licensed for profit.

I hope you guys understand, and cheers for any help!
