Drawing One Free Cover -- Novels Only [CLOSED!]

[vapidink]

It's my birthday and both my comic and newest novel reached milestones this weekend, so I'm celebrating by offering a free cover! There's a couple things to keep in mind, but the only thing I'm really gonna ask for in exchange is that you credit me. If you're interested, post a bit about your novel, what you're looking for in a cover, a link to the story you need a cover for, and any character refs you have. The more fun/interesting to work with your cover/novel sounds the more likely it is to get chosen. I'll pick someone by the end of this week!

Story must be posted to Tapas at the time of making this thread.
Two characters maximum, no full body
No mecha, furry, animals because I fail at those
No NSFW
Simple backgrounds only
Have an idea of what you want your cover to be

These are my two latest covers:

You can look at my other covers on my profile if you want more samples. I like drawing fantasy stuff, but I'm pretty much down to try anything and my style can be adjusted to fit whatever mood fits the book.

Hi. So here is my novel- A girl and a monster wake up in a strange world, unsure of why they ended up there, what happened or why they lost their memories. The story will be an assemble story, but Lian and Ogda will remain the mc.

Tags are- fantasy, adventure with some Isekai elementals.

For the cover, I'm thinking of a featureless girl, red hair, neck reaching and she has a mantle/cloak made from liquid/water.

Hey, happy birthday, hope you had a good one... My novel is Dimensional Detective, it's about a mechanic who works as a private detective on the side; one day a unknown phenomenon occurs in his world where half the population disappeared and those in his neighborhood have asked him to find their missing loved ones so since his sister and his childhood friend are amongst the missing, he takes upon himself to find them. As he investigates, he finds that the missing people have been randomly teleported across multiple dimensions and he has to search across dimensions to find them. Hopefully that explains the concept of the story.
The story is a science fiction, fantasy and mystery novel
If you choose to do a cover for me, I will send you sketches of the main character and a description of what I want for the cover.

Cheers, I'd welcome a cover for a spinoff to Avatar: Macai's Journey called "Avatar: The Vindicated Avenger". It is a fan expansion of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I can show the images of the characters I'd like to see in the cover, but basically I want The Vindicated Avenger, Sada, Moriana, Tyson, and Ronu to be in it.

Images of all these characters can be found on the Avatar: Macai's Journey Wiki if you search their names up. I'd like the background to be in a snow environment to reflect where the MC had his transformation.

I dunno, but it's more likely if you give me any of the info I mentioned.

@brianhanes117 Sorry, stories have to be posted already and I'm not doing more than two characters on the cover.

Ooh, may I? My story is a cute BL. Very innocent, the whole book is the reader waiting for them to confess and kiss. I just want my current cover but more like what the characters look like. The one with the black hair is more buff and masculine, the blonde is more feminine looking but he is a guy obviously. He's got a softer look, though with those covers you've made, I'm sure already that you know what I mean lol. Their hair is the same as on my current cover, same textures. I like that they're wearing matching outfits, it's cute. The background is perfect also. Everything is perfect, except the two characters' body types are reversed. I like your style of drawing as well! Happy Birthday! I hope you had a great one!

I'm interested, if you'll consider my story.

My novel is a disability friends to lovers novel starring two Mexican-American bffs. After a car accident the male lead (Kattar) is left with paralysis, and they are both trying to adapt to all of the changes in their lives including the female lead (Alicia's) new fame, and the male lead's sudden unemployment and new limitations.

I like the cover I have for book one, but I'm not a fan of the one I made for the sequel lol.

I had in mind the MLs face and hair in monochromatic orange and wearing a paper crown, on a white bg.

This is chapter one of the sequel "Sun with a Paper Crown":

Ok, then what about this? You make a picture of Macai as a child and his father Eyre for Avatar: Macai's Journey. How's that sound?
