want a Color Cover for $200?

Hey, what can i say. Open, honest, not shy to ask and a slow month. Any "indie" (non-corporate) publisher who would like a color cover 8.5 x 11 @ 300+ dpi for $200, I am willing to take in about 2 this month if you are interested. My typical turn-around is about 4-5 days. All work is Painter7-ly.

If I might comment: If you're an Indie Publisher, and you want to look as pro as 'the big boys', then you would be insane NOT to take up this guy's offer...this is Class AAA work...;)

Scorpio, many thanks

I have had a number of Inquirers (luckly none from the Spainish Inquisition),it may keep me busy next month too, hopefully. I can handle about 45 b/w and 2-3 covers in a month. Depending on complexity of course.

May your map icons never appear too small.

Sweet!
And may your airbrush nozzle never clog with Raw Umber!

Who's watching the forum?
I'll tell you who, writers of POD novels. The offers I had weren't for RPG games, but POD authors!

Pretty unexpected. I guess 200 is a little high for the RPG market. Ah well, its good for other artists to see the limitations of a genre. Sooooo GO FOR THE PODS! (Print On Demand novels).

That is interesting! Who would'a thunk? Shhhhh...don't let it get around, you could corner the market!

Hell, while I'm at it, if any of you POD Authors/Pubs need simple maps or diagrams for your work, let me know! ;)

V Shane,
I have a couple more pieces being developed by an artist I contracted with before I encountered your work. Once those are complete, you'll definitely be hearing more from me as well. (Probably October-November time period)

Outstanding work!

Much appreciated Cecil! I certainly don't have a problem keeping busy, its just getting paid to do it

If all goes to plan in the near future, I'll probably looking to buy a writer to do the OGL details of my ideas. I don't like dealing with legalize, and just as soon hire someone flat rate personally as a publisher myself (I don't believe in future profits concept). Can't let the cat out of the bag just yet, but I'll be doing my own writing and basically hiring a detail OGL editor and stats developer.
