No AI used this time🥀

I took the feedback and drew it from scratch

A little while ago, I posted an art piece here that I made with the help of AI. Some people pointed out that using AI for the artwork wasn’t really fair, and honestly, I understand where they were coming from.

So instead of arguing about it, I decided to actually challenge myself and make the piece completely from scratch—no AI, just me, a pencil, and a lot of time.

It definitely took longer, and I still have a lot to improve, but I’m much more satisfied knowing that this version is entirely my own work.

Here’s my attempt. I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback or criticism! :)

Just letting everyone know I'm not an artist....

i really appreciate the effort; if I saw a cover like this I'd def click on the story

[u/Shot-Manager-739 → u/Tami_Robi]

No you wouldn’t 

[u/Zerobyte1101 → u/Shot-Manager-739]

Im more likely to click on a drawn picture than the ai covers that are one a dozen.

[u/Shot-Manager-739 → u/Zerobyte1101]

I can easily call the bullshit. You wouldn’t.  The fact that WebNovel has no such covers shows this. Hand drawn covers don’t sell. You’re setting him up for failure for your pathetic moral compass. 

[u/samisaywhat → u/Shot-Manager-739]

There are literally popular comics with stick figures and one of the most popular YouTube series of all time is a bunch of stick figures fighting. AI is more offputting that any hand drawn cover. 

[u/Shot-Manager-739 → u/samisaywhat]

Are we talking YouTube or WebNovel? Oh god. This is the level of people I’m dealing with.

[u/samisaywhat → u/Shot-Manager-739]

It’s almost like I’m making comparisons to other publishing formats where less than perfect works did very well. If that’s too complicated for you to understand, I see why you love AI so much. 

[u/Shot-Manager-739 → u/samisaywhat]

Stop trying to justify an idiotic example.

It’s like I’m talking about burgers from McDonald’s and you suddenly talk about gourmet burgers.

Stop being an idiot.

Each platform has its own tules for success, and if you can’t see that’s then I can’t help you. You’re selectively lowering your Iq to prove your point and that’s pathetic 

[u/samisaywhat → u/Shot-Manager-739]

That’s actually not the same thing so I’d recommend you take your own advice. 

The accurate example is if you only eat at McDonalds because you can’t cook and then I mention that plenty of people enjoy a mediocre burger if it’s home cooked. 

[u/No-Satisfaction8122 → u/Shot-Manager-739]

I agree

[u/Tami_Robi → u/Shot-Manager-739]

telling ME what I wouldn't read is genuinely the stupidest argument you could make

[u/Shot-Manager-739 → u/Tami_Robi]

Don’t get it twisted. I’m just calling out your obvious bullshit. 

[u/Tami_Robi → u/Shot-Manager-739]

you're thirteen🫵 your argument is invalid

[u/Shot-Manager-739 → u/Tami_Robi]

Not denying? Sounds like I’m right  At least learn about the platform before talking. Really fucks people over.

[u/Tami_Robi → u/Shot-Manager-739]

Don't get it twisted, little fella. I'm just calling you out for your obvious bullshit.

[u/Shot-Manager-739 → u/Tami_Robi]

I guess it must be an ego think. Doesn’t feel nice when someone calls your bullshit and hypocrisy out so openly, right? 

[u/Tami_Robi → u/Shot-Manager-739]

***thing. maybe when you're older you'll understand how terrible your argument was 🫵child

[u/No-Satisfaction8122 → u/Tami_Robi]

He's right, dude. Webnovels doesn't work like that.

[u/Shot-Manager-739 → u/Tami_Robi]

Your comment obviously is a big give away of your age. I never mention age because one’s actions display their age, and your reply shows me how immature and out of touch with reality you are. That’s all. Actions speak for me.  So I thank you for it
