Reminder that if you can't afford an artist, you can create the cover yourself. @carsonwinter.bsky.social painted his own cover.
Not only was it free, but it's also completely unique and representative of him as an artist and author.
No AI, no stealing, no excuses, no slop.
It's that easy.

We do not support AI generated writing OR art here at the Tower and will accept neither as submissions.
The Tower craves souls. AI is a hollow shell. It would be like feeding a dog nothing but pizza crust; sure, they might act like they want it, but it causes nothing but farts and pancreatitis...

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

Please nominate for this, yall. It's so fun and whimsical. You can nominate your own work, work you loved, however you like. (And if you wanted to make "Hammerhead" one of your horniest scene nominations I certainly would not be mad.) 🫀
