Looking for an artist

My writing partner and I have spent the last six months searching for an artist that could do a cover for our novel, but have not had any luck. So, I’m taking a shot here.

If you do digital art and/or paintings, and are interested in a job, here is what we need:

  1. Someone capable of designing and producing a front cover image, as well as a back cover image, for two people who have no clue what works and what doesn’t. Neither of us is very visually inclined, and my attempt at “showing” an idea of ours to a relative who halfway draws led to half an hour of cackling from them. Seriously, you’ll be dealing with two two-year-olds as far as art is concerned, so we need someone who can give us ideas as well as the actual art.

  2. Despite everything stated in #1, we are more than happy to give you idea of the novel’s plot, characters, and anything else that would help you figure out what to draw.

  3. Whether you do actual paintings or digital art, we’ll need a copy in digital format to provide to the printer.

  4. I’d prefer it not to cost an arm and a leg, but we don’t expect it to be cheap, either, especially if it’s greatly detailed (that said, we aren’t paying a ton of money for a blank page with our names on it!).

  5. If you were willing to create a custom font for us, we’d be willing to pay for that as well.

Anyone who is interested, please either PM me or post on this thread. If no one is, thanks for listening, anyway!

Thanks for the advice! I’ll run it by my buddy. He’s worked with Photoshop some ( I can’t do it to save my life), so he might be good with this if we can’t find anyone to do the art.

Hey i know its like two years now but, im an artist. I dont know if you still need one but ive been hoping to find work illustrating for a writer at Choice of Games. Been reading the books for YEARS now and i love them so much. Although i havent Illustrated for a writer before, I’m sure my experience and skill would convince you to consider me

I’ll shoot you a DM. This isn’t for a choice game, though. It’s for a novel. :slight_smile:

Oooooooo sounds really cool already hehe. Looking forward to it😃

Finding the right artist can be a grind, but it’s worth it for that perfect cover. If you’re open to it, check out platforms like DeviantArt or ArtStation, tons of talented folks there. Just be ready to describe your vision (or lack thereof) clearly. Good luck, and may your cover be as epic as your story!
