After well over a week of prompts, editing, erasing, deleting, and growling at my computer screen/phone...Eureka! I found it? I did it? Whatever. Haha.


    My reimagined imagined cover. I literally cried and shook after creating it. I couldn''t believe my semi-idea was appearing on the page...And I was doing it. Took a lot of effort and was very tedious. Learned some new editing tricks and tools though.


    I originally wanted a "Gone With the Wind" feel. You know...He''s holding her, she''s holding him. But AI imaging doesn''t play well with human emotions. And the cover would basically function as a huge spoiler. It took human will power and multiple spliced images for me to get something even close to what I wanted. But I DID IT!


    Hint: He''s actually a lot bigger in my head, and in "reality". However, making everything to scale would alter the dimensions/look of the cover. I settled for him like he is.

    4) Nov 8, 2024- Ghkivu monster concept. Mentioned by N-Vorl during a conversation with Dr. Boyd.  This is a close rendering of what this creature/hunt beast would look like.

    A writer over on writingforum dot com introduced me to stable diffusion.


    Openart dot ai. That''s where the multiple images I used were generated. Thanks.
