For some reason the image isn’t showing on the post you linked to.

For the cover art for my book the prompt I gave was something like this ... “A young Chinese man is using a samurai sword to protect a young Chinese woman from two approaching werewolves on a moonlit, windswept beach. The young man and young woman have shoulder length black hair that is blowing in the wind. He is wearing a white tunic with a black sash and black canvas pants, and she is wearing a long flowing gown. There is a worried look on her face.”

ChatGPT gave me exactly what I had in mind the first time.

Several of the other sites (a couple of them paid sites) could not even draw a werewolf (they just drew wolves). Other sites had other strange affects, like suspending the blade to the sword in space in front of them rather that it being attached to the hilt.

After drawing the image I had it superimpose the title across the top of the image. For the first few attempts the font to the title just looked plain. Finally I said ... “draw the title at the top of the picture using a large, wavy font resembling the title to a 1970’s ‘Doc Savage’ paperback book.”. It thought for few seconds and replied .. “Good choice, would you like a metallic texture for the font?”. I replied “yes”, and the result was a book cover that I couldn’t be happier with.

Thanks for pointing out the missing image. I previewed it be for posting and it worked. I just looked and it is not displaying for me, either, 7 hours later. It also isn’t showing on my first post.

I put the image on catbox.moe. It’s a free service, but it isn’t 100% reliable.
