[Hiring] Artist to create illustrations for my book cover.
Hi!
I’m an aspiring author looking to publish my first book this fall, and I’m hoping to work with an artist to get an illustration for the cover. I only need the illustration itself, the further cover design will be done by me (hopefully) but I can’t draw for the life of me so I’m looking to hire someone.
I need an illustration for the front cover (budget around £175) and possibly just a background for the back (£100 max budget).
The book is a dark academia horror so I’m looking for a darker/horror inspired style. (Not too
extreme, it’s young adult.)
I don’t have a set vision for the cover yet, I plan to adapt my ideas to the style of whichever artist I commission.
Edit: It’s important to me that whichever artist I work with doesn’t use AI in their work. Nothing against you if you do, it’s just personal preference.
