Yup, there are definitely plenty of really improved covers here.

I cannot say that From Beyond our World is improved. The Papyrus hurts it but the original cover’s artwork was far more evocative.
Stained Fortune–the improvement is VAST. well done.
Feminized: just say no to either.
Walk a new Way–much better. Still not a book I would pick up, mind you, but much better.
Arid Alarm–worlds better, no pun intended.
An eye for death: sigh. Keep swingin’ for the bleachers, folks.
Mrs. Caldicott’s Cabbage War–neither is viable but at least the first one had a recognizable face on it. Now? Nada.
Instant Family screams self-published both times. Nothing there.
Likely Suspects–looks like a cover you’d see in the Drugstore, so…good job making it far more commercial.
The Law and Annabelle: Man…it’s hard.The new cover is absolutely better, but I still dislike both.

Offered fwiw.

Nathan: If you take the ol or li or ul, and put it inside a div, does that make it display?

I think From Beyond actually got worse…

Yes, I agree. I thought the first one was QUITE a bit better. Still not good, mind you, but it’s gone from amateurish to Smashwords-self-published.

Movie Seen Recently: Clearing the decks, part 2.
Here’s another metric crapload of capsule reviews of movies I’ve seen recently but haven’t felt motivated to write about at any length. The Pilot: A Battle For Survival (2021) – Russian-made WWII thriller about a pilot shot down during the winter, who has to survive and make his way back to the Russian front. Not...

I’ve caught up to my sketchbook again, so it’ll be a couple of weeks before I have regular sketches to post. The post Sketch of the Day Omnibus Post. appeared first on NathanShumate.com.
How Many Artistic A.I.s Can Dance on the Head of a Pin?
In an artists’ Messenger group, the discussion (inevitably) turned to the legitimacy of A.I. output as “art.” This was my response, and it was the longest thing I’ve written in a while, so I figured I would repost it here to preserve it, with a couple of my comments down the thread.
