I live with a just do it mentality. I don't think. I don't overthink art. I just do. I went through so many designs for my book over the course of two years. I went from no real plot to an actual overarching story and then went from no real cover art to finally deciding on the art. Yes it changed. - ThreadSky

But I didn't think I just knew when it was ready. I create on my own because my vision will evolve and shift. But I know what I love. Its right here.

And to any authors out there, who can't spend a billion dollars on the "right cover" experiment. Thats what I say. Spend time before you publish with experimentation. While waiting to publish that's what I did. Look at stock photos. Use the cheap version of photoshop, try your hand at digital art,

Take those and experiment with all the mediums. There are ways to do it with Canva, Photoshop to remove a background, and other graphics that eventually led to what I now have. Then once you fins your tools, no need to break your bank, just try what makes you happiest. That matters most.

Find* your tools. Find those tools and take it away to the place that you are happiest with. There is no "right way" its an acting mentality, drop the "right way" drop the "wrong way" there is only the way you have chosen to do it.
