What tells your story?
Cover Commissions:
I ask for at least three covers in your related genre. An aesthetic board is not required but doesn’t hurt. ;)
Stock Image Covers:
All stock images are licensed for commercial use via standard usage licenses from stock sites such as, deposit photos, art stations etc.
If you want to supply an image for use on your cover, it must come with usage license. Please be aware any supplied image will be assessed for quality, cover and genre standards, and may not be recommended for use.
Time for completion of a stock built cover? Initial drafts are typically sent within 2-3 days from stated scheduling. We start with the base images and offer a stage of choices and revision with a maximum of three rounds before moving on to typography with another set of reviews a maximum of three. Every additional revision round costs an additional $25.
AI usage: I do not currently use AI images in my work. I do believe there is an ethical balance to its usage, but I’m refraining until an accepted precedence has been established.
Illustrated Covers:
Are fully illustrated and owned by me and licensed for purchased usage.
These start with a messy sketch/block-in stage to be reviewed with the client, once a direction is chosen the cover with be refined with a review stage (max of three), a polish and then typography with another chance to review (max of three) before completion. Any further rounds are move to an hourly rate.
Original illustrations are time consuming, I aim to deliver the sketch stage within 3-4 days of scheduled start, it may take 2-3 weeks to deliver the finished cover with timely client responses.
Illustration Commissions include:
Stages: sketch, line art, full color
Page illustrations: Characters, scenes, fantasy creatures.
Character sketches:
Maps:
Children’s books:
