Some alternate covers for chapter 5 of my story.
For this one, we had a few interesting things going on. Part of me had thought about including the Caterpillar's hookah in some capacity, as this was a prominent part of that character in the original book. This is why you see it in two of the alts. But given how I wanted to keep this as age-friendly as possible, I decided against it.
There was one big hurdle to face - the fact that NovelAI DOES NOT know what a Caterpie is. There is so little art of it on the source site, it's essentially left to its own devices to try and interpret what the prompt is.
I finally broke down and found some Caterpie art done by a user called AleximusPrime over on Deviantart, whom you should check out when you can:

As far as Lillie in concerned, the middle picture was the closest in to what I wanted terms of her outfit. It would have just been a matter of replacing her bow and adding apron pockets. However, since I wanted her sitting on the giant mushroom, it was turned down. The other two actually had her on said mushroom, but the outfits were too drastically different from the previous covers to warrant editing them. Never mind the fact it gave her a ponytail in both...
Anyway, which of these three is your favorite? Would you have gone with any of them instead of what I decided on?
