Story time: Once upon a time, I found a website called ConceptArt (Or something like that) where you could get hooked up with artists and pay them to do stuff. (Art stuff that is. Not murder for hire stuff.) And I had this crazy idea that to help sell my book once it was completed, I'd get someone to do some cover art that I could submit with it. I figured that would help me stand out and give the agent/publishers an early glimpse of what it was about before they threw it in the slushpile with all the other wannabe writers stuff.
Obviously, that worked out pretty well.
And to my surprise, the publisher actually included the artwork in the front cover of the book. Which was pretty danged cool and I decided I wanted to do that for the rest of the series.
But now the artist, Mike Katoglou, is all famous and busy and stuff. And that website is long gone and I've nowhere to turn... except for the forums I visit.
So, I need someone who can mimic this style of drawing/sketching/whatever. For my second book. And third. And fourth. And so on.
And I'm willing to pay.
So if you know anyone. Please send them my way.
And if you want to know why I'm not personally doing the art, that's because this is the best I can do:
