I went to Grok Imagine to create the Crazy Coyote Chaos art file for use as my cover image. I opened up my copy of the story and typed in the scene as I wrote it. A few extra commas and some basic formatting. Ran through a bunch of options. Didn’t like them. Put in some clarifications. I kept iterating through the ideas and drilling down into more and more tweaks until I found an image I wanted. Grok Imagine is getting better and better at creating images and videos, and I’m impressed that it really nailed what I was looking for. After a lot of iterations.

In the end, this nailed what I wanted. A rustic Cedar wood and beam arcade with classic arcade titles in it, smoke and fluorescent lights, and everything else. I doubt it looks anything like the real arcade at that time did. I know it’s smaller. But I was looking for a theme, and this got the theme.

And it looks darn good if I say so myself.
