Haha this is amazing.

Here's some I drew to show what I meant by anime art
Your art is super cute!

I am old-school, so I really like the high-contrast colour style of 80s and 90s anime. You can see the art I drew for my covers in my signature.

So here's at least one other person using anime art '-'/

I wonder too why the overwhelming majority of book covers are anime in nature.

So while I've been scrolling through this forum, I realised I have not seen a single anime-style art but most authors in this site clearly likes using them for their webnovels' cover, and I'm pretty sure most people now prefers anime-style art than uhh... realistic art...? I mean even ai-generated art used for covers were in anime style

Is it just because I've only been here since today or I'm missing something?

Here's some I drew to show what I meant by anime art
These are really well drawn! Especially the DAMN HANDS. BANE OF MY EXISTENCE. I HATE HANDS.

T^T

Awesome.

I draw my own anime art, but I'm not very good since I'm self-taught. I guess the main reason there aren't any on SH is because of specialization. Writers like to write, artists like to art draw, and there aren't many who just happen to like doing both.


That one on the bottom left is definatley Rapi. You had me thinking for a sec that it was Nikke-related :LOL:

Some people like anime style art. I for one prefer a more realistic western style. Like the Masters

It's either as Gebel stated, or some people can't get into the effort of drawing one (or at least learning to draw one). Maybe in-between.

EDIT: also just what beast had said
