Considering some THD art (Patreon)

I got someone to do up a drawing, figuring I might be able to draw more people into my writing if it had a few images to pull them in.

You know, judging a book by it's cover, and I've never really had a cover, yada yada.

The issue is whether I continue with this artist, and whether this is AI-generated (AI-assisted? etc.) Some of the AI detectors say yes, some say no. Some just complain that it's "artificial" looking, but they just mean "it's a drawing" when you read the details.

So I'll put it to my loyal followers.

How does this look and would it draw you in?

Does it look fake and would it hurt more than help?

Cheers,

Xav.

P.S. The next chapter of Talla's Temple is finished. I'm just editing it.

ETA: I put in two of the earlier images as I discussed what I wanted the scene to look like with the artist.
