So I'm to the point in my novel where I need to start finalizing everything, including character appearances. The problem is I SUCK at drawing.
And now comes the part where I ask for help. xD I have asked, and asked people whom I thought had perfect skills to draw a concept cover for my novel. Problem is none of them have gotten back with me. :/ I still have a lot of inconsistancies with my novel that I need to fix, along with finishing part three (the last part!!!!!!!!!!), so I'm not in any rush. Yet. I've had a couple friends draw a sketch of the main character - Arion - in the past, but they added their own personal touches which took away from who and what he is. So who I'm hoping to find is someone who can capture that factor. (If you think you're that person please let me know!)
Before I was looking for someone who could make the concept look as realistic as possible, but the more I thought about it the more I liked the idea of it looking a little lesser than that, but still with a sense of realisim. And because of how I imagined the characters to look I need a really good artist so that if there's something that I don't like or whatever I can make the necessary change before I send it off to an editor and publisher (though that is still a little ways off, but I'd like to get all this done a good deal before hand). Here is a list of what I'm hoping to find:
*Someone who can capture emotions well
*Give it a realistic approach
*Airbrush or pencil (or just photoshop as long as it's in line with what's listed), but no flashy colors or cartoony undertones
*MUST be acceptional with fantasy settings
*Can take directions well and is able to capture what the client invisions
So if you know of anyone, or think you have what it takes, PLEASE let me know! I don't have points yet, but I'm working on it. (Is one of those unfortunate people who never receives anything lovely. :3) But I will work even harder once I know of someone who is willing to help. SO PLEASE SUGGEST AWAY!!
