I need a cover for my new fantasy novel. It will show my DAI character with some simple background.

 

At the moment I can’t pay you with money and my novel will be available for free, so I won't make any money with it anyway ^^

That's why I want to do an art trade: you draw me a cover, I make you a custom book. Your book will be completely handmade with high quality paper (perfect for writing, drawing, sketching) and real leather. Embossing like ornaments and texts are possible, too. You can decide its look. Free shipping worldwide included, of cause ^^

 

You can take a look at my latest bookbinding works here:

Cover
The main character, an elfen girl, leaning casually on the bar of a dirty tavern. She got a mug in her hand.
She got a mischievous smile and one eye brow goes up, because what you don’t see: there are two very angry orcs right about to bash her, but she looks like „hey boys, you really wanna mess with me? Bring it on, it’s becoming fun - I’ll kick your a**“

The background is just the bar with a shelf of mugs, bottles and stuff you find in a tavern in it. It's the tavern in an orc village full of orcs so everything looks very rigged.

Here are some pictures. The first three of them are the most important. The others are references:
sta.sh/21q1f2eg7i98
That’s how she looks, except she got short hair on the pictures (she will cut if off by herself along the story, but the cover shows her with long hair like described below)
If you need more reference material I will provide it.

About her character
- Still a teenager, 18-19 in human years
- cheeky, confident, playful, mischievous, casual, cunning
- feels all alone
- Only elf around (there are other elfes but they are sniffy a-holes, they outcasted her because she asked to many about the past of the elfes)
- She’s just a lonely girl looking for a home and a family, a place she belongs to
- not a girly
- raised by an old female orc shaman
- She never kills but kicks a** like hell biggrin.gif

General look
- tousled hair, irregular cut, dark red, hair goes to the waist
- purple eyes
- No big boobs please
- She’s pretty but not a beauty queen
- rough but sexy
- marked by a harsh life
- can have some dirt in her face

Clothing
- She wears an used and quite dirty leather suit that always crumps when she moves
- but the suit doesn’t covers her complete
- her top is cropped, some bolero thingy
- tight pants
- heavy boots
- dagger on the back of her belt
- the clothing shouldn’t be too dark, it just should look used

I wish I could, but I can definitely vouch for you. The book(s) are really good. You guys and gals with drawing skills should totally take this opportunity.

Really wish I could help, those are beautiful books.

 

Sadly, my drawing is long out of practice (Not that I was that great to begin with)

Interesting proposition, but I am thinking you might have a better chance in a different forum?

Maybe try posting this question in the fan art section? There may be some more artistically inclined individuals there that would love to help you with your project.

 

(beautiful journals by the way)
