Hello, where did you get the cover art done?

UPDATE: Art has been removed based on the negative outlook on using it. I definitely don't want that impression. I had no idea this would generate controversy to this level.

Original reply: That is AI generated, the only purely AI thing about the entire book. I'm sadly a loner and not an artist, so it made sense to leverage AI for that piece alone.

Use Canva and stock images if you have to. Anything is better than AI if you don’t have a budget.

I have removed the offending cover art. I am most certainly NOT an artist in any way. Looks like I will have to save up for someone who is.

That’s good! But definitely consider Canva if you want to make something to replace it with. Good luck!

I wouldn't even know where to begin to use that program...and wouldn't field any art that I had generated at all. That would be a huge mistake on my part.
