Art for a game

Is there somewhere on the forums that I can reach out and find some artists for cover art? I can’t draw very well with arthritis.

You can browse the Professional Services category, it has a pretty wide swath of artists with varying prices.

I also ask here because a lot of the artists I’m getting in contact with want upwards of $300 for simple cover art (space as a background for the book’s artwork, for example) once they know that it’s going to be something that will be used to make money. I’m almost certain that this isn’t a standard practice.

$300 is actually pretty low for most professional artists, especially for a commercial product such as a gamebook cover. You’re paying for not only the time it takes for them to personally create the piece, but also the amount of practice and training that has gone into honing their skill level. If you aren’t able to pay for custom art, another user has compiled a list of stock art websites that can be used for free.
