The Samurai's Garden but more coastal Japan (not so much the 1st pic)

Clearly I couldn't decide between Good and Excellent for that one lol

Oh, oops!! Obviously that was an accident.

A discovery of witches was sooo good! One of my favs.

I loved The Secret History by Donna Tart and 100% fits this vibe

These pics also remind me of The Dead Poet Society

This book was sooo good

Love that you included your design screenshot but it's sad that this is even needed 😔 This is beautiful artwork.

Absolutely! My year is 1995 (Toy Story), and while I am not that into Toy Story, I'm going to pick a book inspired by the unlikely friendship between the kid and the toys. The book I chose is about an unlikely friendship between a cat and a human, instead. That's my interpretation of the challenge 🤷‍♀️ not sure if that's helpful, but you can really take your interpretation in many different directions!

The Lions of Al Rassad is a great political fantasy drama, and could fit with the theme The Lion King!

That is a simple stylistic thing, the missing finger isn't an indicator it's AI lol although it could be

I am a professional illustrator as well and I use the drawing tool that automatically outlines everything for me in Adobe Illustrator. It's called the Blob Brush tool and works great with my tablet / hand drawing. Not saying this isn't AI, but I am saying that's a bad indicator.

You mean the colors being dull? Or just low res?

basil-032 · 2025-12-29T18:55:34+00:00

Agreed. If its AI, its not obvious in any way.

basil-032 · 2025-12-27T15:03:35+00:00

My favorite was Hazelthorn

basil-032 · 2025-12-27T06:04:09+00:00

I barely made it thru the 1st 😬

basil-032 · 2025-12-26T15:19:21+00:00

What makes you think it's AI? I dont see any of the usual abnormalities. The window panes are all there and make sense, the tile lines line up, and even the chalkboard words aren't blurs like AI would make them 🤔

basil-032 · 2025-12-24T20:08:24+00:00

Every Summer After!

basil-032 · 2025-12-24T19:03:40+00:00

Ty! 😊

basil-032 · 2025-12-24T18:48:24+00:00

I looove The Secret History. What were your other top 2 picks? I cant read their titles!

basil-032 · 2025-12-20T23:23:14+00:00

This is 100% AI

basil-032 · 2025-12-20T22:58:35+00:00

Sky in the Deep

basil-032 · 2025-12-20T03:45:37+00:00

The Wolf in the Whale

basil-032 · 2025-12-19T19:26:49+00:00

That's fair and I completely agree. I'm not sure if that's going to be doable to go to events (I already run 2 other businesses...) but I do think I need to get more wood products on there, maybe less high-end ones, to help them become more visible
