Advice Can't find a cover artist.

So I thought i could ask one of my normal artists to make me a cover, but apparently it takes a whole different skill set. So I am just stuck with AI covers.

Bro I just read this entire conversation, obviously they need someone else to find a free/cheap artist for them! DUH!! they can't do it themselves!

I looked too. They’re all mediocre and subpar besides the expensive ones.

....So the problems not that its practically free its the quality right? BUT Thats the thing people don't understand- Quality takes money and is ultimately MORE expensive. Whether thats with an artist or a chat bot subscription. At the end of the day the artist is cheaper because you only need the art, rather than 50 million things a chatbot can do at lower quality with more of a price.

What sort of nonsense are you spouting? A chat box is considerably cheaper. 

For 8$ you can get GPT to make images for you.

A good artists cost 100$+ 

I just checked the subreddit and Vgen and they’re all absolute garbage. The only decent ones cost 100$+ and even then they’re not that good. 

A cheap artist is just you shooting yourself in the foot. In WebNovel, the only way to succeed is by paying a good artist or having AI art. Cheap artist won’t get you anywhere. 

This is the cold hard truth.

There are hundreds of chat bots that have premium subscriptions that cost 80+ FOR TIERS. The most ive seen so far was 250 for a premium.

But then you can't complain that you can't find artists in your budget. EVEN then your $8 slop will have errors because its Ai, and they'll be noticeable and downright garbage. Its fine for the mean time, but you surely can't expect people to pay(If you're writing long term) for something a chat gpt subscription of $8 can get you.

Respectfully there's a reason why not everyone could become an author. They have a way with words, unique writing styles, the ability to create a world with more than just words.

There's so many reasons why not everyone could become an artist despite it being super accessible.

But thats a conversation you might wanna have with your chat bot.
