Well those artists would have to work for mere pennies, because I don't make a lot of money off my books.
Hence the saying "the starving artist"! Sometimes, we are forced to work for peanuts, which is insulting considering the amount of work and effort we put in creating something. This is why, I have stopped taking commissions, the customers hassle too much and then they have the audacity not to pay at all at the end. I very much prefer to create art and then sell them off. Even that has been hit due to this culprit called AI.
Yeah it does really suck. I mean the art that I'm using for a book I plan to publish, I used the AI's suggestion for the art then made it my own. It doesn't even look anything like the original AI version, because I didn't like how it came out. I basically only used the basic outlines of the art and redid the rest myself. I don't make a ton of money on my books, whether they're dev romances or my non-devy stuff, so it's more of a hobby than anything else. Anything I do make is just a bonus at this point. |

Well, having designed several books and magazines cover professionally in the past, if you ever need any help in getting the designs or book covers done with AI or without AI, you can message me anytime. I'll be happy to help you.
