Jaycee Woods

Artistly has a feature to create book cover images, so I decided to play with it.

While I don’t like this sample, there are aspects that I do like. Overall, I like this concept of a cover image for promotional purposes.

The prompt used to create the image was:

A haunting and intense book cover for “Boudica and The Butcher” by Jaycee Woods, capturing the essence of a post-apocalyptic world torn apart by war and horror. The scene is set against a ravaged cityscape, with crumbling skyscrapers and twisted metal debris stretching towards the dark, foreboding sky. In the foreground, a lone female figure stands atop a pile of rubble, gazing out over the desolate landscape. The figure is shrouded in a tattered, black cloak, with a hint of red fabric peeking out from beneath, symbolizing the struggles of the past. The cloak is torn and frayed, revealing glimpses of a battered, military uniform beneath, adorned with scars and scratches that tell the tale of countless battles.

In the distance, a plume of smoke rises from the ruins of a building, casting a faint, white glow over the devastation. The sky above is a deep, foreboding grey, with black clouds gathering on the horizon, threatening to unleash a new wave of destruction.

The title, “Boudica and The Butcher”, is emblazoned across the top of the cover in bold, red letters, with a distressed, graffiti-like font that seems to scream out in defiance. The author’s name, Jaycee Woods, is written in a clean, white font at the bottom of the cover, providing a stark contrast to the chaos and destruction above. The overall color palette is a muted, monochromatic blend of black, red, white, grey, and beige, evoking a sense of desolation and hopelessness that draws the viewer in.

The cover art is a haunting representation of a world gone mad, where the boundaries between humanity and savagery are blurred, and the only constant is destruction. The image seems to pulse with a malevolent energy, inviting readers to step into a world where the rules of society no longer apply, and only the strongest – or most ruthless – will survive.
