I apologize that the cover art for my story was created by AI. I would have loved to commission an artist, but as an unemployed student, I simply can't afford it right now.
The story revolves around a father-daughter relationship set in a fantasy world.
SO WHICH ONE -

You don't need to apologize. Everyone has their own challenges. Using AI for covers or illustrations isn't a sin either.

I love this cover. It's perfect for a father-daughter illustration. The other cover is more of a romance cover.

Is this a father-daughter relationship traditional? Reason I ask is because each one looks like a more intimate relationship is going on between the pair.

I love the 5th as well. In the others, the dad looks young enough to be the Male Lead. Or the posing gives off Male Lead vibes. Maybe it would help if the daughter looked younger to emphasize the father-daughter theme.

I agree with the consensus. The 5th one is the most suitable. The rest look too much like a romance cover, not suitable for a story of a father-daughter relationship.

AI cover is fine as long as you don't intend to monetize the story. Some AI models won't allow you to do that. As for the suggestion, a good cover art is one that isn't rejected by the bot. All your covers look safe so you don't have to worry about it. Use the 5th one for best results.

As an image I like the second one best but those dark colors don't pop the right way for a piece of cover art. So I would go with the fifth image but please run that through an image editing program and turn up the contrast a little bit. The composition looks too flat for a cover image.

1st and 5th?
Don't worry about AI art, the important thing is that it conveys your story.

My first cover had AI elements, and I liked it because it was going in a more Shonen direction.
But I realized that I'm having fun with comedy, drama, and romance. So I thought it was fun and created the art myself, even if it's not spectacular.

The irony of an LLM trying to stop people from profiting off stuff they've already stolen is rich as heck. :blob_unsure:

The third image has a good color scheme and contrast. The fourth and sixth images have a good composition for a cover. The fifth image may be suitable for what you need. However, I would recommend further refining the composition, color balance, and depth. The images are too colorful. The faces blend in with the background.

Some people will treat you like the devil if you use AI for illustrations. It's just the hill they've chosen to die on.

Let everyone have their own opinion. Honestly, rejecting AI is ridiculous. If we truly reject AI, we shouldn't use Google, Amazon, or even smartphones. The digital age is the age of AI. What we need is humanistic adaptation, not biased rejection.
