Where to find cover art

[pelpelen]

The cover and the title are the first thing that makes people interested.
So where can i find a cover?
Spesifically with an anime style.

You could commission an artist, use an AI generated art piece, makes one yourself, or use a premade creative commons art piece. Depending on what your price range is I would recommend an artist either through reddit or through one of the art commission sites. I don't remember what the AI is called that generates art but someone here can tell you. If you are good at drawing then have at it but if you're like me and turn everything you draw into accidental threats to humanity then don't. Creative commons art pieces are super easy to find on the internet. Just look up creative commons anime (enter descriptions here) and boom, free art.

where is your art thread?

waifu labs for non-commercial works

Do you desire an unsettling art thread?

I recommend this one for AI since you get free credits every day:

I call that Eldritch horror. Can't be worse than some hentai out there...

Oh, it's not that kind of unsettling. The eyes just stare into your soul.

I just realized that this was for landscapes and not characters

You've gotta do a bunch before you get something that looks right. Personally, I want something more complicated with a bunch of characters, and AI is not quite ready to do that for me. The stable diffusion is a huge improvement, and that was released like a week ago, so hopefully there will be better algorithms within the year.

Wouldn't be for me, because my cover ideas are always way too specific.

But the results are nice. Much better than the nightmare-fuel we used last time :D

That site is quite good. I even use an art from there as cover for one of my books, but I recently signed for Dall-e 2 and they approved it in three days. One might want to try that too, since it is free.

I'm too picky for this stuff to work for me. I tried getting a commission without color and having my husband's brother color it to save money, but it still looked kinda flat. I just tried several style transfers, but now I'm just losing details. I'm sure an algorithm that fits my needs will come along someday.

You can use NightCafe. They give you ten credits every day. One art piece is one credit. You do have to word your instructions carefully, though. Or else you will end up with aliens.

Sort of like the guy who hides in your closet and watches while you sleep. You know the one. The guy who is so cold that water condenses on him so there is always this soft dripping sound when he is around, yet whenever you go looking for him, all you can find is a puddle of water where he was once standing.

Yeah. That guy.

Yeah, but with more hair. Think strips of dead/dying seaweed.
And a bit more Danzig.
