carefully

Is your story not approved yet?

I draw it myself

Use Ai.

 

[LunaSoltaer]

Yeah. if i had art skills id use them but i have writing skills, mostly adapted from technical writing hence probably most of my problems on here but writing skill nonetheless.

I did have to get lucky with the prompt then morph it and then settle on something that i later realized had really cool symbolism for a thing happening way in the future

AI.

I used to commission stuff, then got burnt with it. Twice. Tried photoshopping. Failed. Then discovered AI's greatness. Never looked back.

 

[Representing_Tromba]

I pay for a commission or use stock images.

theft

 

[RynnTheTired]

A combination of AI and my own mediocre drawing/editing skills.

 

[Lloyd]

I bought one, but now I just use AI

 

[CarburetorThompson]

Ai is most common on SH but you can also commission really good art for as low as $10 if you use a site like artists and clients.

i used ms paint for my latest.

made the simple ones that still does the job. i just used the reference pic for a bag and the basic shapes in paint for it.

even a stickman has its own charm.

I draw my covers myself...

...and back covers too.

 

[bulmabriefs144]

I run a websearch then shamelessly edit the results.

I'm trying to learn photoshop/gimp, I've seen people make magical covers from it. But you can easily make a decent cover with free apps used together.
Honestly, doing a bit of research on graphic design/digital art will benefit you immensely even if you can't draw like me

That looks JP, awesome ?, what software did you use?

 

[RavenRunes]

AI for basic image, then doctored and embellished in Canva.

 

[Akaichi]

Use AI...
In SD You can get the results you want if you know what you are doing...
You can also Try midjourny.
After that edit them using your favorite software, crop, add details and fix things...

Midjourney and Canva. Just use the word digital art when you write the Midjourney prompt. Otherwise, you will get space aliens, if you were aiming for a human. Also, you can remove the background of a picture with adobe. Sure, they tell you that you have to register, but you can just save the image the same way, you save the image from Google pictures.
