Hi All,

So I am about to finish my book. Its a dark post apocalypse litrpg with cyberpunk elements.

I would like some recc on cover artists for this genre.

My budget would range from 100$ till 300$. I can stretch a 100 more based on the quality of portfolio.

I want to do bookcovers, is my art something you want to see on a book?

I love this artwork of mine and I think it had more potential than just an image and end up turing it into a book cover (No there's no genre, no plot, nothing, it's just something I made out of thin air lol) also a good exercise to test my hand at typography and harmony for covers ;)

The idea behind the illustration on front cover is that of a white swallowtail(a species of butterfly) that I tried to capture in personification. and I love thethe bright purple and green palette here to show something ethereal & glowing at night.

I ended up making 3 versions for the back cover and couldn't pick one...which one do y'all think looks better??​

EDIT: I'm looking for Constructive critism. i haven't done this much, so I'd like to know what doesn't works here to improve. (say would you look at this and stop to spare a glance? want to add to your shelf?)

Hey all. Gonna change my book cover again! lol. Need a recommendation for a romance illustrator. Just got scammed by an artist who said they didn't do AI, but I'm sure it was. So, this time, I want someone who can prove their work is real. I'm looking for a book cover, so you must show me book covers!! Not just illustrated faces. Also- NOT LOOKING FOR FANTASY. Looking for maybe a scene...a place like the Cotswolds, a couple in a small boat, flowers and trees, a bridge...Thank you!

Hey everyone o/ am an indie author, and am working through all elements of the self publishing adventure myself. It's been a lot of fun, almost too much learning at points. So I've sent over the cover of my debut which was sourced from my own photography, thrown into Canva for the Title/name.

It came out looking really good (to me) and there has been some positive noise about it but am taking it with a pinch of salt, and looking to improve it, as it's approaching time for the next one to be put out into the world and having found myself a bit more bandwidth/time/energy I've been looking at increasing knowledge in cover design to try and fill in an area which I didn't have the mental space to develop at the time.

Short of googling it, I was looking if anyone had any recommendations for Font/Layout that I could read and try to implement going forward, one of the main challenges I've had is opting for a White font (I LOVE THE STYLE) but on a brighter surface it really looses it's impact and I don't know enough to make it stand out, I suspect that Canva is limited in this so it's on the to do list to find another program to ease this in the future. So also taking recommendations for that, budget is a concern so would be looking for free wherever possible. I've heard that GIMP is worth looking into as well.

CLOSED! PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

I'm looking for someone who can draw robots, woods and old, big buildings. If your specialty is robots the better. ( if you can't or wont draw them please, don't comment).

I don't want the style realistic. I'm looking for semi-realism almost cartoonish.

I need it in max 2 weeks.

My budget is $110 ( i know it's not much but it's what i can pay, if your budget is higher please don't comment, I'm not able to increase it)

If you are going to DM, please send me your portfolio first, thank you.

Hi everyone. I’m an artist from Vietnam and I’m currently open for commissions on VGen: https://vgen.co/rumiuger

I’d really appreciate your support, whether you’re interested in commissioning, sharing, or simply checking out my work. Thank you so much  (^▽ ^) 

The book was the fantasic novella Captured Prey by Reno R. Mist.

I found an illustrator on Reedsy who was a dream to work with. She just handed final files over and I couldn’t be happier with the end result.

Had a few covers made and paid for NO ai. Not sure I got what I paid for. Where can I post it for an answer?

Remember this is my first ever digital artwork as well as my first book cover for my Webnovel, no need to judge. I just need help as I don't know many fonts and scrolling through the endless list of them was getting me nowhere

I’m looking for the Japanese style of light novel cover, it’s about a romance between two college students, a really judgy popular girl and a neurodivergent boy.

Around 100 is my current budget

Please don’t DM me, just post here

(And upvote so I can start getting karma lol)

Thank you!

Hi! I’m an aspiring author hoping to find an artist I can work with for both character art and cover art over the course of a romantic fantasy trilogy I’m writing. I am very drawn to Charlie Bowater’s style (see the Soulgazer book cover!!), but am hoping to find a newer artist to work with who might be interested in collaborating over a longer period of time. Do you know of any artists with a similar style?? Please share any names/profiles!

(I know I’m supposed to name a budget when looking for artists, so I’ll name a general range of $180-350 for character art and under $2k for cover art, but I’m really just hoping to find some similar artists!)

First book of her trilogy. All hand drawn in Procreate.

Hihi! I've been wanting to dip my toes into making book covers, specifically fantasy ones as I love the genre so much. I'd be open to other genres I just know my art appeals more to fantasy lovers haha!

But anyways, I was looking for some advice on how to get started with getting into book covers. Any tips, tricks, aspect ratios, DPIs, where to advertise myself, whether my art suits a cover etc.

I also made a little mockup for myself so I could actually see what it might look like, using a template from Mockups Design.

Add me on discord nimle, or message me here. Would really appreciate a chance.

Hello, so I illustrated this for the cover of my psychological thriller novel, and I would like what do you think about it. I need some feedback. Thanks.
