I am looking for someone to prepare several illustrations (currently from one to seven) related to my novel (fantasy genre - I can easily share excerpts to check the atmosphere).
To start, I need one graphic depicting a character (one of four, with plans to show a group as well), followed by two shots of objects, including one characteristic of the novel's world.
All scenes would be based on my (fairly accurate) descriptions and narrative context, if needed. Initially simple, static, without dynamics. More expressive, spectacular ones can come later. The style I have in mind is a sketch on a texture resembling parchment (for example, sharp, fragmented, unfinished, focusing on a selected fragment, blurring the rest - something in that direction) or full black and white. Something that looks like notes from a wandering artist, without access to a full palette of paints and brushes.The graphics would be used for "propaganda," encouraging people to enter this world. I would place them on my Instagram profile, possibly someday in a gallery on my author website, but for now, I don't have such a place or opportunity.
If the collaboration goes well, I could return with more commissions, as there is plenty of material.
I am at the stage of my first publication, without an advance, so my budget for illustrations is still modest. However, I care about a fair valuation and a scope of work that will be profitable for you. The book's premiere will be around mid-September, and it would be nice to share at least one graphic before the end of summer.
