I'm taking my steps towards being rightfully called a professional, and I would really like to build up my portfolio a bit (the one that will go onto my website and CV and so on eventually) -- and for that, I need to actually have some works, so I figured to open myself up to commissions.
I make cover art (traditional or e-book formats) and I can do character sketches. If you'd like me to make some for you, please request below, and make sure you've provided me with everything required.
Covers
If you want your cover made, the first thing you need to tell me is if you want an e-book cover or a traditional cover. The latter means you get a front, spine and back. The former means only front.
When that's out of the way, answer me these:
- What is the title of the book?
What is the author's name?
What is the genre of the book?
What are some main motifs you want to see on the cover (max 5)?
What kind of colour palette do you imagine?
Anything else?
(Only for traditional covers) What is the book's wordcount?
(Only for traditional covers) What is the book's blurb/What do you want written on the back?
If you're about to [self-]publish and the requirements say that your book needs anything else on the cover, tell me.
Character sketches
First things first, when I say character sketches I mean character sketches. Although I try to be detailed enough, they will be in black and white and have a sketch feeling to them. Also, for now I'll only be doing portraits, so no full-body drawings, sorry.
Here's what I need:
- Gender/Sex: (also note here if they're, for example, "an old man with soft feminine features" or whatever combination have you)
Race: (if someone's of mixed race, specify; you'd be surprised how many times I'd had people tell me only as much as if there's only one possible "mixed race" out there)
Face shape: (here is one of many handy charts available at a quick google search. Choose the closest one and add description if needed)
Nose shape: (chart)
Eye shape: (include the distance between the eyes and from the nose)
Eyebrows shape and expression: (thick/thin, kept/unkept, square/round/etc, frowning/raised/etc)
Lip shape: (include lip size and any other description you deem necessary)
Hair: (details, please)
Facial hair: (if any)
References: (if any)
Other: (scars, beauty marks, makeup, whatever)
Allow for a few days before prompting me to work faster; I'm more busy with life and stuff than I'd like, sadly, and even when I'm not I don't always have the strength to be creative.

I'll be filling the space between the requests with my work, as soon as I transfer it between my various devices and finish a couple of concepts
