Used canva "free icons"

Still looks copy and paste-y

But here’s my 4 simplistic ideas

Hi there!

I'm opening 2 slots for May for book cover illustration and design, character art, and if needed interior art/chapter art.

My work tends to be more dark/angsty but I am rather flexible.

NO AI whatsoever in the process. It should go without saying, but I will only work with authors who haven't used AI either. Sorry, but this is a deal breaker for me.

Some examples of my work and commission info below. Thank you!

I've written a political satire novel—first person, unreliable narrator, White House setting. The intent with the cover art was that it would look like a classic romance at first glimpse, but then the satire comes through with the second, third, fourth, and subsequent glances. Would love some feedback.

The title is The Orange Man and Me. I thought my pen name, Lord Hugo Dastardly, would help with the absurdity—but apparently some people aren't sure.

Does it read as satire?

I know it’s still clip arty, which version do we like better?

Could I get some feedback on this cover?

My novel is a dystopian thriller with a grimdark twist.

Please answer the following:

Does it catch your eye?

Does the cover look to busy?

What concept are you seeing in the cover?

How often does a cover effect your purchase?

Hi! I’m a pen-and-ink illustrator specializing in interior spot illustrations for fantasy and atmospheric fiction.

I create chapter headers, scene break motifs, and small illustrations designed to sit inside books and enhance the reading experience.

Here are a few samples of my work, and for more, feel free to check out my portfolio at: https://liratheillustrator.carrd.co/

If you’re an author working on a project and interested in adding subtle interior illustrations, I’d love to collaborate. Happy to answer any questions. Mail: lirarhoda@gmail.com
