I saw that Steve Ramirez posted some images from the book on his Facebook using AI and photoshop. What do you guys think?

The AI artwork looks amazing! The photograph with the fighting (the third) lacks the height of the S'orne (assuming that that is the people who are fighting against the soldiers). Of the four photographs, I feel that the third one is a little misplaced. But the two individual photographs and the photograph of the aftermath of the S'orne attack provide an interesting visual to compare with the book. Thanks for sharing!

I like the A.I. art. I think Lacey and Bellona's are really good. I wish there was one that depicted the S'orne better. Especially, if it contrasted their appearance and size against normal humans.

Thanks for posting these photos. I like the first two the best. My son, who is a graphic artist, I'm sure would pick them all apart for one reason or another, but I think that they were all cool.

The people fighting against the soldiers could also just be infected citizens. None of them are exactly what I imagined while reading, but they still give you something to think about :)

I do not like AI art; it makes me worry about the future of real art painted from the soul of an actual person. I did not like his digital art, it was characterless, and the colours were wrong. This is just my personal opinion, and a lot of people might love his art.

I have to agree with this. While the images initially grabbed my attention, the more time I spent looking, the more I could feel that they were artificially generated. While striking, I agree that they are missing the "soul" that comes through when a real person pours themselves into their work.

It's absolutely amazing. Eventhough we can tell the difference between human arts and AI arts, it's pretty much beautiful and it's depicting the characters. Personally, I like these four photos.

Wow, those pictures look absolutely stunning, to the point that I would like to ask which AI tool it is. If you are the source, please let me know. :D :D

It's very amazing. The story's message is expertly conveyed by the AI artwork. It's bringing the narrative to life. These AI artworks will provide a general understanding of the author's innermost thoughts if the book is visualized.

The AI art represents a considerable theme of the story, which will engage the reader in the story if the author uses it in the novel.

And it will enhance the reader's imagination with the author's imagination to understand the complete thriller in a satisfactory way.

These AI artworks have a diverse range of themes. If the author uses it in the narrative, it will give a deep and engaging experience, making it easier to imagine and feel the situation.

enjoy the A.I. artwork, especially Lacey and Bellona's pieces. I wish there was one that showed the S'orne more clearly, comparing their appearance and size to regular humans.
