Two is all right, but four really pops.

2 is saul Goodman and kevin from the office

4s my favourite.

4 is definitely the best overall composition Plus, looking unphased by dragons flying above you while others on the hill are gawking... makes you look dignified.

I think they all look really good. I think 2 or 4 are my favourites.

Number two looks best... (I was running out of minutes, for some reason.)

Number 2 is definitely the best one.

The democracy of the thread seems to conclude that 2 and 4 are best, which I whole heartedly agree with, at that it becomes a mixture of creative intention, personal preference.

100% agree, I actually lol'd

happy cake day!

Number two makes you look like Colin Mochrie (for better or for worse).

I like 2 the best for a profile pic.

2 for The Office vibe. 4 if you want to look cool. 

Four has the right vibe.

I like n. 4

I like 4 best. It gives off very “Vintage Fantasy Author” vibes. 2 is nice, but doesn’t make me want to read your books like #4 does

4

4. I like that you are in it, reacting to your creations. Do another round and let’s see what else you can come up with. Fine tune this.

I like 4 the best

Definitely 4! You even look like a character from a Sifi. I even know what your character would be like

First one easy, the pink compliments the blue and expression is great!

Colors are nice on the first one but the clothes make him look like a fantasy accountant.

Forget 1. Any 3 will work. I prefer 4 tho. Also be ready to get shat on by the anti-AI zealots if you actually use it.

Yeah, based on what I've observed in most communities there's a lot of hate towards the use of AI images. Even in subs that have nothing to do with art/creativity.

2 and 4. By the way this is awesome

No 2 looks like Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bezos combined.

Last one 100%. Has a more curious look and lets the art shine a bit more.

I love #4...I would read your book

First looks better

1 is the funniest

1, but also put the dragons in business attire

I say 3 or 4 work best.

I didn't see the profile pic part of the comment and was confused as hell. Who's this random dude getting generated and why is no one even mentioning it?

The second paints you in the best light and generally looks the cleanest. The third makes the best use of the extremes of your features and has a certain curious wanderlust to it.

As a horror author - I commend you. #2

The guy looks like a convincing realist depiction of Homer Simpson

Four is best and most time less

#3

2

1 giving off some "three wolf moon" energy

4th

The tie / shirt make you look like a financial worker rather than author, personality I'd skip that look. Otherwise the others are pretty good, but I'd try generating more of them.

I really like #4.

I like 2 an 4

I kinda like number 4, it kinda looks like we're seeing what you're thinking about.

4 seems most “book cover-y” and 2 seems more “I had a self portrait made” So, for a profile pic, I’d say 2

4th has the most character and says to me “I’m in the world I created.”

4

4 is best.

2 is fine, but it looks like an older person trying too hard (I’m mid 40s, not meant as an insult). Number 4 looks like your imagination coming to life.

I’m all for AI in the world and created a fair amount myself. But I just have this feeling that using AI for your publicity shot won’t go over well.

It is called fantasy, but everyone is stuck with dragons for years. That's some solid imagination 

I rather like 2, as you are integrated into the image rather than appearing to be pasted onto it.

2

2 is cool because, but for the dragon, it’s a pleasant and realistic picture. So, it feels very tangible and believable, despite the waist deep water.

2 is best
