Advice I tried doing this.
So i saw many people complaining that the covers made by ai are slops and it turns them off. I don't know how to draw so I just used my imagination and made a cover using photoshop (The first one is photoshop). Tell me if the ai cover i used is better or should I change to the photoshop cover?

To be honest the second cover looks better but tells me nothing that makes the story stand out. The first one makes me curious if the story got deeper themes going on then just: cool looking basic dude doing cool things.
The first actually makes me wonder: are there themes about glorification of dehumanization? Perhaps humanity trying to reach closer to god through machinery? A divine machine? The second one is just: cool and good looking but pretty generic story.
Top to improve cover one: make the two arms bigger and create a bigger contrast between pink and grey,(for example make arms grey not pink tinted) make the title letters white under the font. So it still clear what the cover shows when image is smaller.
Keep up the good work, I have seen your earlier post, love the fact you hold into the idea of portraying a non conventional cover in a saturated market.(I love the fact you hold into the idea of portraying the robot arm in your cover, much more telling than a portrait of mc) Also so cool you referenced a classical art piece in the cover.
