# Hello alien community My participation in [**Cosmic Creations: Create a book cover**](https://peakd.com/hive-158694/@alienarthive/cosmic-creations-edition-8-is-live-create-a-book-cover) For this challenge I was inspired by a Horror Story by my son @acont called [**"This is not chicken" Unexpected dinner in a strange place.**](https://peakd.com/hive-196487/@acontblog/esto-no-es-pollo-cena-inesperada-en-un-extrano-recinto-unexpected-dinner-in-a-strange-place-terror-zde) >*On a trip along roads they don't usually travel, a group of friends lament for deviating from the usual route. Hunger sets in. After a couple of hours of heated discussion, a strange restaurant appears on the road. There was no other choice. The weekend vacation of this group of twenty-somethings, almost thirty, has started in an unconventional way...* - @acont # The secret of the Restaurant ![eve66 book cover.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/eve66/EonkUCazuf6z1ezzZdGcJGSQus7cNEvdd5WEU6bGGFZx3ryGroNJTGEf86yFYYYar6c.png) https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/eve66/23swXnSxxbc4dy3ekoufzTF6kBSvfktncFATLSfNnSERxEKbpcP7EFp55JzL3PGr44htp.png **PROCESS- PROCESO**

>! [**Version en Español**] **Hola Comunidad Alienigena** ✔️Esta es mi participacion en [**Cosmic Creations: Create a book cover**](https://peakd.com/hive-158694/@alienarthive/cosmic-creations-edition-8-is-live-create-a-book-cover) ✔️Para este reto me inspire en una Historia de Terror de mi hijo @acont llamada [**"Esto no es pollo" Cena inesperada en un lugar extraño.**](https://peakd.com/hive-196487/@acontblog/esto-no-es-pollo-cena-inesperada-en-un-extrano-recinto-unexpected-dinner-in-a-strange-place-terror-zde) ✔️> *En un viaje por unas carreteras que no suelen transitar, un grupo de amigos se lamenta por desviarse de la ruta usual. Surge el hambre. Luego de un par de horas de acalorada discusión, aparece en el camino un extraño restaurant. No había más opción. Las vacaciones de fin de semana de este grupo de veinteañeros, casi treinta, han empezado de una manera poco convencional... -@acont* ✔️ My first step was to talk to @acont who guided me through his vision of the character he wanted on his cover. **He drew me a sketch of a hybrid creature, a medium-sized mix of dog, chicken, and velociraptor.** ✔️With these characteristics, I wrote a 'prompt' that captured what I was looking for. I then used [**Ideogram AI**](https://ideogram.ai/t/recent) and made 26 generations, a total of 108 images. > *A dog and rooster hybrid creature, the face is of a Velociraptor with red crests, 4 legs are of a rooster, the body is of a doberman dog* ✔️ From this set, I selected three that captured the essence of the creature and stitched them together in Photoshop. >! [**ESPAÑOL**] ✔️***Mi primer paso fue conversar con @acont, quien me guio a través de su visión del personaje que quería en su portada***. ✔️*Me dibujo un boceto de una criatura híbrida, una mezcla de perro, gallina y velociraptor, de tamaño mediano*. ✔️***Con estas características escribí un ‘prompt’ que capturara lo que buscaba. Luego, utilicé [**Ideogram AI**](https://ideogram.ai/t/recent) y realicé 26 generaciones, un total de 108 imágenes.*** ✔️*De este conjunto, seleccioné tres que capturaban la esencia de la criatura y las uní en Photoshop*. ![boceto acont y criatura.png](https://images.hive.blog/600x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/eve66/23x1HhCoL9chBW21yXkMZ3VAezNDLocSRpN1fiLJrJNDYrpfVE5HZvdYv7s5r7FGXbvtb.png) --------

✔️ Then, I started looking for the background and the entrance of a restaurant that would match the creature. ✔️To edit the base image, I used Photoshop, about 12 layers, color editing in camera Raw and focus filter. https://images.hive.blog/600x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/eve66/EoCbMmiFEQ2TNCSNrybsTDD7LceBsoC4tHtiSx1bdg4nz65ds37tP4UGBbHHHUbjyk6.PNG --------

✔️ I uploaded the base image to [Canva](https://www.canva.com/) to use the fonts and generate the book cover with a template. ✔️ The final step was the approval by @acont of the cover of his horror story. ![eve66.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/500x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/eve66/23tkhxuymawVX6M3dxRtfiCbgaosk84LyXmfeGuUrFZ4fMot3jsLqunrPxMRQfPgoXq5T.jpg)

>! [Español] ✔️ Luego, comencé con la búsqueda del fondo y la entrada de un restaurante que combinara con la criatura. ✔️Para editar la imagen base, utilice Photoshop, unas 12 capas , edición de colores en camara Raw y filtro de enfoque. La imagen base la subí a [Canva](https://www.canva.com/) para usar las fuentes tipográficas y generar con una plantilla la portada del libro. ✔️El paso final fue la aprobación por parte de @acont de la portada de su relato de terror. ✔️ Fue una gran experiencia trabajar con @acont y diseñar una portada de su cuento de terror - Gracias ![eve66.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/500x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/eve66/23tki3MhTbq5cTnkdpxoaLB2Jg4nRnSvUTUs7ARNmT3jKwymCfp5Sj1Z1J9ff2GE6LHKu.jpg) ##### It was a great experience working with @acont and designing a cover for his horror story. **Thanks** ###### ["This is not chicken" Unexpected dinner in a strange place-**"Esto no es pollo" Cena inesperada en un extraño recinto**](https://peakd.com/hive-196487/@acontblog/esto-no-es-pollo-cena-inesperada-en-un-extrano-recinto-unexpected-dinner-in-a-strange-place-terror-zde) ![acont.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/eve66/AKcgeeRh7t8mCmeaPVGkMiwusCb8Pt3auvGPhD3VcD4BsXKqmJeQRW3hfcjczgM.png) ------ https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/eve66/23swXnSxxbc4dy3ekoufzTF6kBSvfktncFATLSfNnSERxEKbpcP7EFp55JzL3PGr44htp.png
