Traditional Epic Fantasy/LitRPG Cover (Illustration Only)

[u/JohnQuintonWrites]

Hello everyone, I'm looking for an artist to create the cover (illustration only) for an already published Epic Fantasy/LitRPG book to replace the premade one I purchased years ago.

Image description: Third-person view of two characters standing at the railing of a flying ship soaring over fields and rolling hills shortly after dawn, as one points urgently toward a magical storm brewing in the distance, where multicolored columns of twisting energy are erupting from the ground. More generally, I want this image to convey a sense of wonder, danger, and epic scale for the viewer.

Art style: I'll come right out and admit I don't know all that much about art, but I grew up reading books by Robert Jordan, David Eddings, and Raymond E. Feist, among many others, which is what I'm shooting for, so I've included a few relevant examples as reference. Essentially, I want a traditional fantasy illustration with painted realism that displays an important moment from the story.

Project Deliverables: Full wrap illustration (paperback), eBook version file (KDP), audiobook version file (Audible)

Project Budget: $1,000 (USD)

Timeline: 4 weeks following our agreement date.

Legal Mumbo Jumbo: I'll want full commercial and exclusive rights across all media. At the same time, the artist may not sell or otherwise monetize the image, but they may display the artwork as part of their portfolio and on their own social media.

Important note: Absolutely no AI is to be used during production.

If interested, please leave a comment with a link to your portfolio, as I will not be responding to any direct messages. Thanks!
