humans can be harder to prompt compared to AI - maybe try a different prompt

I agree, that to not support a human option is criminal in itself. However, the human option needs to be much better…

I'm also in the "neither" camp. I don't think the scene captures the story very well. I think a cover with Andy prominent is good but I'd like to see some of the other characters like Lucy. This feels like a kingdom building apocalypse story so far, and Andy is leading a community. I think a leader-y theme with Andy and his spear in a more conquering cover pose

Don't worry I'm in the same boat with you. I like the midjourney cover I made, but I don't want to use it. That's why I paid a guy to make the other one. And I'm already in talks with another artist to make another one. So yeah, when it comes to artistic things, I try to support real humans.

I haven't started the series yet (I like to kick off stuff I'm going to be reading serialized with a bit more of a binge) so feel free to take my opinion with a grain of salt, but honestly neither cover really grabs me. It's likely I'll jump into it eventually because I've been a fan of everything else I've read of yours, but neither of those covers are moving it up my queue. I am firmly anti-AI slop though. At present I'm mostly here for Victor and Vainglory right now. I really really don't want this to come across as some sort of self-righteous rant or threat to do what I want or I boycott, but I've got a long to be read list and ultimately using AI over real artists for your books probably does play at least some factor in whether I take a leap into another series or just let the membership lapse once the two series I'm currently invested in run their course.
