We are looking for an illustrator for a book cover
This is NOT a permanent job, it is a one-time project
We are looking for a talented artist-illustrator (can use AI tools, but not necessarily) who can create a unique and marketable cover for a fiction book in the genre of fantasy / thriller / detective / romance.
About the project
The book is already written and is being prepared for publication. We need a cover that:
conveys an atmosphere of tension, intrigue, and emotions, attracts attention on shelves and online platforms, helps turn the book into a bestseller, looks professional and cinematic.
What I expect from the candidate
Experience in creating book covers or character illustrations (portfolio preferred).
Ability to work in genres: fantasy/thriller/romance.
Willingness to offer a creative approach, not just technical execution.
Ability to think compositionally and marketing-wise.
Test task (selection stage)
We will ask you to create a rough sketch of the book cover. We will attach several reference images for inspiration, but do not need to replicate them literally — on the contrary, we want to see your ideas.
A link to the book for review will be sent to those who are interested. The candidate will be able to read the introduction / key chapters or use chatgpt to better understand the atmosphere.
Payment is discussed individually.
Please send:
1. A brief about yourself
2. Work samples (portfolio or links)
3. Your estimates for cost and timelines
We look forward to seeing your ideas and creating a cover together that will captivate readers!

My name is Victoria.
I am a full-cycle AI/ML specialist, and I create illustrations and covers by combining AI generation with professional manual refinement in specialized software. I have experience working with visuals for science fiction, thriller, romance, and fantasy — including creating atmospheric, cinematic compositions that look marketable on online platforms.
I work with both a creative approach and clear technical requirements: I will help convey the desired mood, select a strong composition, and create a unique visual style tailored to the content of the book. I can create a test sketch based on your task so you can see my vision.
I would be happy to collaborate. Please message me privately.
