The Dark Fantasy Worlds Behind My Books — And the Art They Inspire

A group of mages and sorceresses sit around a large wooden table. A cloud of smoke swirls around a miniature castle in the centre and a small black dragon breathes fire at one of the mages beards. A tapestry on the wall behind, shows an open book with the words 'Making Magic' embroidered upon it.

Time for another image representing a scene from one of my stories. This one, generated with the use of AI, is a scene from my short story titled ‘Making Magic’. The story is set in the modern world and follows Alcus, a ‘would-be-writer’, on his visit to a writers’ group, where he meets a number of unique characters and experiences real magic. This is a short story with fantasy and horror themes, and plenty of laughs in between. As for the image, I couldn’t get the AI tool to give me all the characters the way I described them, and every time I asked it to fix something, it would change something else on another character. I’m slowly improving at writing my prompts to generate what I am asking for, but I still have a way to go, and with so many characters in this image, it was a big ask to get them all perfect. Anyway, the image represents the story scene well, even though it isn’t true to the characters descriptions.

Happy Reading!
