The current cover for Sky Pride is some F Tier AI slop. So I went and ordered one on Fivver. I went for fast and cheap, as I figured I needed it in a hurry. I erred. But hey, I'll put it up to a vote- slap a title on the new picture and make it the cover, or keep the current cover for now? Either way, I will be getting a cover made that is better.

Current Cover:  New option I

NGL. The new image is just so bad, I have to love it. It's probably a horrible idea to use it though, considering the story is a tad more serious than, "Rock Falls."

Zaeron

I'm sorry Warby but I can't in good conscience vote for either of those choices. Whatever witch you fucked with is clearly bringing her A game to this fight. I would surrender.

That cover art made me laugh more than anything. It’s better than ai art at least. Also if it was fast and cheap, it looks alright, considering the other possibilities.

austin kutz

Terrible. Did you offend the ghost of cover art past or something?

SUlex

The cover is so bad its actually hilarious. I think its one of the biggest hurdles to the stories success. Idk maybe no cover is best?

Nord

I really like the new one. It has personality

WarbyPicus

Right? Like, if it had been fan art, you'd give it an "Aww, bless your heart." But it's not.

I’m sorry but if you’re against AI then obviously we shouldn’t have the first cover… but the second cover is sooo bad. I think you’ll have to pay off the witch.

Driftward

The derp is strong with that second choice. Keep the 1st up until a better cover has been bribed from the witch.

Macronomicon

ballpark for a good cover is like $1200, so you know..if you think it'll make more than that on Kindle, then yes.

WarbyPicus

Oof. Never spent that much on a cover, but you'd know better than me. Seems like I'm going to have to up my budget.

Whatever gives me more chapters of Weeaboo faster is the option I prefer!

the second one looks like its from the animated Legend of Zelda show. You know, the excuuuuuuse me princess one from then 80's. I didn't mind the AI slop. Not everything needs to be perfect. Obviously its not ideal for a kindle release

Ally

I think they're both bad, but the second one offends me less. But I probably wouldn't click on either one.

phantom

That series actually had good animation for its time. The issue with it was.. everything else.

Proudfeets

The first one is generic schlock. I would click on it on RR if there were a good enough description accompanying it. The second is just hilaribad but waaay less generic. I'm afraid I'd be more likely to click on it to troll the comment section than to actually read it.

Hey Warby, I wanted to see if I could get Midjourney to make something slightly better. How can I send it to you?

Notcreepycreeper

Genuinely hate AI slop. Maybe see when you can pay an artist to draw one. Amatuer artists can be pretty cheap with still decent quality
