Hello everyone! Im Zapticuno, and Im becoming an avid book writer. Of course, books need covers, and most of the time I will do the art myself, or, since the site I write on, Inkitt, provides them, will use a fitting image. But, this story Im just starting to work on is very personal, and I feel that it should have a decent looking cover, better than my art or some random stock photo.


Anyway, before anyone jumps in and says, Ill do it! I want you to read the basics of what Im wanting so you know what youre getting into.


-I am looking for digital art only.


-The minimum size for cover images on Inkitt is 500px wide by 800px long. Id prefer it to be larger, for example at least 1000px by 1600px or larger, but if you want to do something smaller than my personal minimum then you can, as long as it is at least 500px by 800px and is proportional to that, to avoid distortion. Also, the maximum size Inkitt allows is 5000px by 8000px.


-The story will be a Pokemon fanfiction, so there will be two Pokemon on the cover: Golisopod and a Pokemon I made, Tribagon (I will provide a reference image to chosen artist [note- I am still working on the reference! But, so you know, it is a dragonlike Pokemon that walks on all fours, has tribal markings all over, and the top of its head is ablaze])


-There will also be two people on the cover: Guzma, the leader of Team Skull, and me. (Once I have chosen an artist, I will send reference photos of me to said artist by PM)


-Im wanting the title of the story, Broken Bones, to be put on the piece. The text can be drawn or typed.


-Im also wanting to have a background and shading (shading not necessary, but would be nice!). Details about the background will be given at the same time as any reference images, through PM.


-Im hoping to have the piece completed and received by May 2020. Im pretty patient when it comes to receiving art, so dont feel pressured to get it done right away. Ive waited four or five months to get an art piece due to the person simply forgetting to send it to me, and I was completely cool with it. I understand life gets in the way, and were all human, so dont stress! If you don't have it done by May 2020, it's no big deal!


-Ill be wanting work-in-progress images sent, not only so I can see how youre coming along on it, but also, if any changes need to be made, they can be done early on so it will be easier on you.


As you can see, some of my requirements are pretty lenient. As long as you meet my requirements, were all good! Now all thats left to do is post below with some art examples, what you think Id have to pay (if you can come up with it), and when you want me to pay.


Currently, I have 450k gold and 20 diamonds that Im able to pay with. Id also be willing to do a piece of art (or two) for you to help pay for this as well.


Anyway, I think thats all for now! Hope to do business with you and have a great day!

Hello, I'm definitely willing to draw something for this book of yours! I draw a lot and you have requested from me before but my deviantart page is here for examples because i draw too much haha! I can draw pretty much anything :)

But these are three of my favorite pieces

Hello, I'd definitely be willing to do this. If my artwork is indeed up to par, we can negotiate pricing once the piece is done. Here are some references to help you visualize some art styles I can do.
