Cover art call for Principal Celestia Hunts the Undead · 1:59am Nov 17th, 2016
So I worked a bunch of overtime last week, am feeling less skin-flinty than usual, and thus ask: anyone know of a decent EQG artist who could use some work? Happy as I am with the photo-edit picture for Principal Celestia Hunts the Undead, I'm feeling like a little self-interested patronizing of the arts.
I know those feels. I had cover art commissioned for two of my stories because I craved unique pictures that accurately reflected my story's content. But as far as artists go... that's a tricky one. I'm assuming that price is an issue? I could link you the artist I used for my Zecora story if you like.
Whatever you think best for your story, but personally I really like the current cover art, that's a big part of why I thought it'd be fun to read in the first place. Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!
I know a friend of mine who does great eqg artwork but you'd have to commission him. Baron engel
Here are some recs for artists I have interacted with, who have done art for my work.
Firimil has done some great stuff of my fanfiction, (account link: http://firimil.deviantart.com/ ) examples here:

(Yes I'm totally tooting her horn).
As is the one who did my cover art for Equestria's Changeling Queen (plainoasis http://plainoasis.deviantart.com/ ):

You could also try Dextroscity though he's done more anthro work.. http://dextroscity.deviantart.com/

Hope that helps Rune!
I could try my hand, I guess. It might take a while though, depending on my free time. What direction are you trying to go with the cover?
I've been doing art for many years now and have a few commissions under my belt- if you wanna take a look at some of my stuff for examples, I post my art at artiestrokeartcorner.tumblr.com
I'd totally be interested in working out a deal for this, just hit me up.

Oh, uh, it's been a while since I've actually posted anything online. I'll see if I can get a draft cover up that I'll make myself, and that'll be my example, or I can scrounge up some stuff and finally post it. If these other guys are offering to do it for free, as I am, they're probably going to be a better option. Still, I'll make a cover anyways because I like this story a lot.
Don't mind me otherwise.

Thank you, but I am not asking for a free product. I feel that's disrespectful to an artist's time, and while I love getting fanart, I would never solicit it from another without offering something in return.
Thus said, if you choose to send me something anyway, I will hype it to the 9's on my blog, link it in the story, and offer my squealing, fangasming thanks.
