Hi everyone!

First off, again I'm sorry for not being around much, my job keeps my internet access very limited - but I'm on vacation at the moment so I have a bit more stability.

Anyway - after a long hard slog, I've finally finished my latest novel, the thing is, with all hte changes it's gone through (including a title change) the old cover photograph I was using is no longer really suitable.

I was wondering if anyone here might be willing to take on a commission to create the cover art for me? The book will only be sold via self-publishing (and honestly, I doubt I'm going to sell all that many copies!) , so I can't offer anything beyond the initial commission fee to begin with...

Obviously if it takes off and becomes a roaring best seller and gets picked up by Tor Fantasy we'd make a different arrangement!

Would anyone be able to help me out? This book is my baby, my biggest project (I've been working on it for almost 11 years), and I really want it to have the cover it deserves.

Please PM me if you think you can help out.
Thanks so much!

What sort of book with what sort of theme?

For example I would be great at a fantasy book about dragons/unicorns/wolves...but horrible at a book about vampires driving fast cars. Can you give a few short details about the type of book involved?
 
Absolutely! Rest assured it's not about vamps driving fast cars :p

It's called "Last Light Of the Goddess"...I suppose if you were to put a genre to it, "Arthurian" would be close. It's epic fantasy, very Old Faith vrs New Faith (though I've worked very hard not to make it "us vrs them") and mostly about the young woman born in one of those worlds and raised in the other, and the struggles she and those around her face in order to fulfill her destiny of balancing the two.

Very human based, and the magic in it is very natural...I tried to stay away from the whole "magic can fix everything" breed of fantasy.
 
Awsome. Well I am only a mediocure human artist...but I hope you find someone fabulous!!!
 
anyone who wants to try their hand on it is welcome! I mean, it's a human based story, but the cover doesn't have to be human necessarily, could be symbolic...could be any number of things.

I can't draw worth a ****, so I'm at the mercy of others on this one..

Tempestmoon on deviantART

check out my work, if you like my style I would be interested in working for you.
 
Quick add on: should add that I'm looking for a semi-realistic style rather than one leaning towards anime (don't get me wrong, I love anime style, it just doesn't suit the story)

I can draw all forms of human style - realistic, cartoon, anime, etc. The mediums I work with are all traditional (watercolor, colored pencil, Copic Marker, acrylic paint and pastels). No digital work, however I work fast. Where can I read the story or a summary? I'm currently taking a mild break from my current project and it would be nice to expand my client base.
