Looking to hire a cover artist · 4:53am Apr 20th, 2014
EDIT: Found an artist! Thanks to everyone who were sent along their work!
With my next story rapidly approaching, I'm looking to hire someone to illustrate the cover page. Are you a starving pony artist looking for work? We might be able to work together to create ze magics! Subject matter is black and white semi- grimdark (no blood or gore) and heavy on mood and atmospheric lighting. Payment will be via paypal, and I'm willing to pay up to $50, depending on detailing and complexity.
If you're interested in giving it a try, send me a PM with a sample/samples of your work, and we'll go from there!
I'll be accepting applications until April 26th, and won't make a final decision until then. If you aren't picked as the cover artist, don't worry: I'm hoping to do some illustrations for scenes from the story, so I'll hire for those as well.
I have but one question to ask: Will this brand-spanking new story be written in the same style as The Monster Below?

Yes.

One person I liked for the work done was Styx lady at http://styxlady.deviantart.com/ but she may get an open slot soon hopefully at a very reasonable 30 bucks for full color and good quality. As for others, hmm, were you aiming for a black/white shaded, or color in wondering?

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at her stuff.
Pure black and white, with no color, but if the shading or other little traits stand out, I'm open to some wiggle room.

I have a friend who's a GREAT artist, I'll ask her to see if she can do it.

2043528 it's that much of a secret?
hope it is good........... i have been in a drought for good stories for a while now. worse i have read stories that seemed good at first and then went down hill. doesn't help i am a stickler for details at time. though i highly doubt it is much to ask for Applejack to not randomly follow some random invidual own a dark ally like a lost foal. she is the pony able to take up second in command when need be after all.
2043528 when will it be ready at least?

Well, I've been working on the outline for a good three months now, so I hope it'll live up to people's expectations when they start reading it!

Probably before June. I'm aiming to finish up "My Little Sharknado" before I start writing this next story.
Also, when you mentioned you were intrigued, was that in regards to the story, possibly doing the cover, or both?
2043794 the story. i am afraid i have about as much art skillz as a dead mule. at least when it comes to drawing. writing i am pretty good and am working on my own fanfic. been working since march last hyear on it, figuring out what i want to do.
Still seeking?

Actually, I did find an artist who's working on the cover as we speak. I can't believe I forgot to update the original post, but I have now. Thanks for nudging me!
