Has anybody else had people approach them offering to do cover art for their stories?

I’ve been running into that on Deviant Art, I think 3-4 times and even though the names are different, I’m not sure if they’re not the same person.

Not as such, and not here, but on another story site I get the occasional person "praising" my story with very generic copy-paste comments and offering to turn it into a visual story of some sort. It's a person putting the same copy-paste on many stories trying to get authors to purchase their art.

I just report spam/delete etc.

It's very common on writing forums. Unfortunately in many cases these are scammers who'll take your money and give you nothing, or crappy AI, or art stolen from somebody else. It's great to support bona fide artists but make sure you're dealing with somebody legit.

That’s exactly how these look, and would explain how one would disappear and come back with a similar name over there.
Thanks

That would explain a lot, especially with the one that seemed to change their screen name multiple times. I can do a lot of artwork, but the human body is one I’ve never been able to get right, so it would have to be either finding somebody that would be willing to work with me (there are some people on DA that post AI art that is somewhat if a visual inspiration for this story), or try and figure out AI on my own.

Be aware that AI art is a deal-breaker for some readers, and it's not the only way to create a cover even for folk who can't draw.
