I have a fair degree of interest in cover design, a moderate amount of skill at digital art, hardly any time, and more ambition than you can shake a spoon at.

So! If anyone has a poor coverless story, please consider letting me create a new set of clothing for it. Images will be 400x600 for RR by default, but if you need it in a different aspect ratio let me know and I can make it differently shaped.

My style tends to be mostly photomanipulation, with a bit of 3d and overpainting; or abstract with a high emphasis on text. For simplification, we'll call them 'semirealism' and 'abstract'. For examples of my work, check out this Folder. I'll be posting covers here as I finish them.

NOTE: I cannot draw. I cannot do anime or cartoon style. I can manipulate photos and 3d renders, work with text and colour. I do have access to a fairly extensive library of 3d assets, so I can *probably* create a character who looks at least vaguely similar to what you want. I can perform actions on said image, such as greyscale or screentone, but it'll never look properly hand-drawn. It's easiest to do landscapes and humanoid characters. I can do space scenes with stars and planets, but not ships. I only work with public domain or otherwise free photos, specific 3d resources, and my limited personal artistic ability, so the more detailed an object description the less likely I can pull it off.
['A sword' I can do. 'A glowing blue sword' is probably possible. 'A glowing blue and white damascus-steel greatsword with the word FATE engraved on its blade and a sapphire adorning its leather-wrapped hilt' not so much. Same thing with animals; 'a horse' or 'a dragon' is doable; specific or very detailed creatures would be a bit trickier to find.]

If you understand and accept the risks involved, fill out this handy form and post it in a comment below. Please replace my notes with your own responses, or things will look incredibly untidy and I'll be annoyed. Things mustn't be untidy, you see, in this thread if nowhere else.

I can't promise to do a cover for every story that requests, unless I get very few requests. I have limited time, and will pick those which inspire my creativity or those which I feel most capable of doing well.  I'd love to make a cover for everyone on the site, but that would take rather a long time and I do have other obligations as well. Thank you for understanding.


If you have any questions, let me know!

Let me know if it's too bright, I can tone it down if you prefer it darker. I was trying to ensure it wouldn't be just a black square in small view, but may have gone a bit overboard in making it bright.

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, guys! I haven't forgotten this thread, but between life, work, sickness, and trying to keep up on updating my own fiction, I haven't had a chance to work on any covers.

I've got a busy weekend coming up, but I hope to fit at least one in next week, assuming nothing goes wrong. Fingers crossed!
