Just binged Creative Demons and How to Slay Them by @richardholman_creativity, and lucky enough to have purchased a signed copy from the Corn Exchange, Leeds. As a writer, it's a huge comfort knowing the impostor syndrome is a demon I can slay. 👏👍

I had TONS of fun creating my full-spread fantasy map of Haeylo with Inkarnate. It's featured at the front of TO SEE A WORLD, but I don't think I have ever shared the version I made with the AI images, which I placed over the locations on the map itself. This version isn't in the book, but a select few of the AI images are :) 🤩

I was completely new to Inkarnate and was instantly hooked. My new favourite thing is checking out all the maps others have created for books and games! 🤓

After a recent review of TO SEE A WORLD, I would just like to clarify that it is ONLY the character and scene-setting location images included that are AI-generated, and NOT the book itself or the double-spread map. 👍

I'm completely new to AI, but I had so much fun playing around with Kittl that I wanted to include some of my favourites (and those I felt closely resembled the characters and places in TO SEE A WORLD) in the book itself for a bit of fun.

I understand AI is not everyone's cup of tea. The novel itself was actually born way back in 2010, and this is a re-release of the first and second books to prepare for the release of book three in 2025. 🥳

🥰You can read more about the creation of the series here: https://www.rachaelhardcastle.com/post/discovering-the-chronicles-of-pandora
