[QUOTE="Brekkil, post: 4974666, member: 35498"] Go to Conceptart.org and post a thread in the Job Listings. Dont go to the artists, let the artists come to you. Write exactly what you expect from them and what you expect to pay for their work, whether that is $100 dollars for a single cover image or $300 for 10 interior illustrations. Those who are interested in this work will contact you, but give them at least a week to find you, and don't worry, you'll get lots of cool artists to return your job call. I've tried to work with the "famous" artists in the biz, and they are way overpriced, but hey, someone is paying them! My first fantasy cover ever cost me $1200... and it wasn't worth the price, and it took way too long to make. The artist's name was Doug Kovacs. Since then, I've found a few artists that I love to work with, and whose prices I find quite reasonable. I give them a little freedom in the work and I'm loyal to them, which is important. I also make sure to pay them on time, and often before time! My absolute favorite artist is Gary Dupuis ([url]www.gdupuis.com);[/url] he always have time for my projects, is fast and always delivers brilliant work. He mostly does black and white interiors. Just remember, there's lots of cool artists out there whose names are NOT James Ryman, Todd Lockwood and Howard Lyon! :) In case you are wondering about their prices... they are in the $4000 league...
