FoE May sidefic poll, and a question for you guys. · 1:10am May 11th, 2017
First off, for those who are into Fallout Equestria and haven't checked it out yet, the May sidefic poll on the FoE subreddit is up and could probably use a few more responses. Fortuitous given Infinite Potential just updated, a new and up and coming sidefic if ever I saw one. So maybe check it out, and if you like what you see, give it a vote in the poll! And, you know, if you happen to like Trigger to Tomorrow as well if you guys feel like giving it some love.
Now on the question I wanted to ask. Does anyone out there happen to know a decent artist who could do Equestria Girls styled art and is open to commissions? I'm looking into getting some real cover art for Equestria Girls: Friendship Souls, but am having trouble finding an artist who does EQG stuff. Most artists are fully focused on the pony, and who can blame them, but I need me some horse girls of the colorfully human variety this time around.
My suggestion would be check out Derpibooru's commission list. There's likely to be some decent artists in there. Otherwise Carnifex does cute EQG stuff. He's on tumblr and such.

Awesome, thanks for the advice.
4528028 No problem :) Ruirik on fimfic might be worth looking up too. He mostly does pony afaik but may do EQG too.
I personally only know one artist who takes commissions, but his style is a bit different from the norm. I recommend as Themaskedferret said to search around on Derpibooru etc. for others.
But it just so happens that I was working on some fan art for Friendship Souls the other day. Although, I'm nowhere near as good as someone you could commission, so I seriously recommend just searching Derpibooru, DeviantArt, Tumbler, etc, for artists who take them.
But once I've finished my fan art, feel free to use it in any way you wish

Eh, Trigger to Tomorrow is such an awesome and well-thought-out story that I feel it is my obligation to vote for it! You have my unlimited and unconditional support!

Eeeeeeeee! Sorry I can't help it, I'm always floored and humbled whenever I see that someone's taken valuable free time out of their day to do any kind of fanart for one of my fics. Thank you!
I'll definitely be searching diligently for someone to commission. Right now my two biggest hurdles is the fact that there aren't as many people who do Equestria Girls style stuff versus ponies, and because I do want the cover art to at least cover the central cast that's a bare minimum of eight to ten characters. Ideally we're talking Sunset, the HumaneFive, SciTwi, and Adagio. Clover and Discord I'd like to have on there as well given their importance to the plot, especially early on, but given that most artists do commissions that charge per character, they're more optional than the other eight.
Like, I checked out the Carnifex guy that Themaskedferret mentioned, and they definitely do great artwork, but at the price listed getting the cover art done would be pricey a bit beyond my budget.
Still, I'll keep looking, and once again thanks for drawing such a cool pic of Sunset. Puts a huge grin on my face.

Heheh, well consider yourself noticed, and thanks a lot for the vote! Also like I said in the blog post, I highly recommend Infinite Potential as well. Its pretty good, with a very different kind of protagonist from my story, so if you're looking for an interesting change of pace its worth a look.

Jup, I already began to read that one too. I don't know if that's such a good idea however, given that I have still over 400 chapters in my "to read" file... xD
4529064, you're in luck. That's what I was planning to do all along
Although it will take quite a while, and I cannot really start on it for another week. Free time isn't something I have right now. I do still recommend finding someone better then me, but as you said, it's normally charged per character so it will be expensive. Still, I want to draw this just because I enjoy your story so much and want to say thank you
