Makes novel and ebook covers: cinematic painted genre art with moody light and a strong central silhouette. The title, a tagline and the author name are set in type over the art; the cover is 2:3, the common ebook shape. Drawn by a picture model with any words set in real type afterwards, so spelling is exact. Needs a FAL_KEY or a Cloudflare Workers AI key; about $0.01 to $0.02 a picture. Use when someone wants a book cover, an ebook cover, a novel cover for fantasy, thriller, sci-fi or romance, or a cover mock-up.

About this skill

You say

Make a cover for my thriller Everything I have is in this folder. If something is missing, use a plausible placeholder and tell me what you assumed.

It said back

Your cover is done: a night guard with a torch faces a bricked-up doorway in a London archive aisle. The doorway glows gold at its edges against the cold green shelving. I checked the finished cover and all the type is spelled correctly and nothing is cut off. The picture has no stray letters or numbers.
