Calling All Artists
Jun. 27th, 2010 12:41 pmIt's an open call because honestly, there's no easy way to search for this on deviantart. I've tried.
What do I need?
Artists that are taking commissions. And affordable ones at that. I can't really pay $300 for a single color sketch of one of my characters as some of my favorite, very, very popular artists charge. Their work is beautiful and all that, but I just can't imagine dropping an entire paycheck on a single work like that. Just not so rich unfortunately.
So I need artists that are taking commissions, that aren't abhorrent to drawing slash, can draw either original characters or fandom, and that don't mind me using their works as a cover or illustration so long as some deal can be struck.
Different styles are welcome, from realistic to anime-ish to cartoon-ish. I'm trying to get a wide variety of styles to go with my wide variety of fiction.
I, myself, am pants at drawing. I can manage a few black and white sketches if I'm sufficiently inspired but otherwise, my drawing sucks major. And I'd really like to give my readers some visuals to go with their reading. I know I prefer to read original things when I have a better idea of what the characters look like.
So if anyone has any recommendations, knows anyone taking commissions, can point me in the right direction, takes commissions themselves, let me know. I'd really, really appreciate it.
