Bookcovers for a Comedy Fantasy Series featuring a Suave Demon

コンテスト概要

My name is Vee James and I've written three of the series, "The Neccabashar Chronicles". Two are published and the third is in revision to be published this year. I feel that the covers I've chosen do not call out that these are comedies and I want to take a new approach with cartoon-like images for all three book and audiobook covers.
Once I get to know the artist, I'm happy to share codes for free listens of the Audible.com audiobooks. Samples and more information can be found on my website: www.veejames.com
2/7/20 I've added a sample similar to what I'm looking for.

    Please Note: I don't expect this contest to produce a final for all three books but an introduction to the artist I can work with to produce a long-running series. Judging from the sales, additional books will be likely. Book three will come out this year.

    Hi Mark, Good question. I actually don't think the artist will get it right the first time around. I'm looking for the artist who will deliver the right style, so one sample of the art, one cover in other words, would be fine. I assume from there I would work closely with the artist to produce the right covers. These images are critical to the success of the series and would be used in marketing efforts as well.

      Not a problem, thank you for taking them positively. It's actually an interesting job, thank you for posting it. Just for clarification - are we required to submit three separate designs, one for each book, for the all in cost of $75 USD or - is this $75 each, you just want to see one design and one artist you can collaborate with on the rest...?

    2/7/20 I've added a sample of the kind of thing I'm looking for with a similar style for each of the books. As far as style, certainly Terry Pratchett's zany style would be a good comparison.

    Not sure what you mean by "seal the contest". This is my first use of this site.

      Privacy - entry #1 is sealed, this means you and the entrant can see the submission, we can't. Individuals can seal their own entries for just 50p and doing so generally shows they're simply being protective of their ideas - if people call you to seal the contest however, this cost's you an additional $30 bucks and you're going to have to check all the entries personally that they're not work ripped from the net. Leave the contest open and we straight illustrators can tell you right off the bat who's trying to palm you off with tut, plus - you're $30 bucks better off.

      Oestenively an entrant sealing their own work, like I say, is primarily for design protection, unfortunately we do have people operating through here that are as gifted artistically as they are scrupilous and honest - and on a sealed contest they will take advantage of the privicy.

      Unfortunate, but there it is.

    Some clarification: the best way to understand the project better is to visit my website: www.veejames.com and look over the book descriptions in the "Neccabashar" series. The first cover would feature Neccabashar facing a black knight, thesecond he faces a pretty blonde angel, and the third would have him face a greek statue

      Some visuals backing that up would be good. We don't know your personal taste - also - a black knight, a pretty blonde and a Greek Statue, though better than us guessing these things, what's actually going on in the scenes...?

      You'er a writer. Use words, necromancy... whatever it is you people do with your day. Source some idea's of the kind of book cover that conveys comedy to you - are we talking Tom Sharpe, Terry Pratchet, that one who writes about time traveling sprouts...

      Show us.

      The existing things you have on your site are a start, but these are the things you're not happy with and want to change - so visually walk us through what we need to so here.

      Source some things that work for you and upload them to the brief.

      Also - don't seal the Contest. If you get a crashing need to spend an additional $30 bucks on anything around here, add it to the pot.

    I already have the font, just looking for illustrations that convey to the reader that these are comedies.
