Another Twilight rip-off!. I mean, the idea is brilliant, and the title sounds amazing- absolutely love it!.!.!. it's just too similar an idea!. And the cover being black and white is also too close to Stephanie Meyers cover work!.
But, by all means, continue!.!.!. sorry, I can't help you with this!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Sounds a lot like Twilight!.!.!.do you actually have the story!? A good illustrator should know what the characters look like and their personalities if they want to design a simple cover!.!.!.and I agree!.!.!.no one in their right minds would do it for free!.
An idea would be a black background with a red triangle dripping blood!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Another Twilight, vampires are boring now!. Be more original than that!.!.!.
That sounds so much like Twilight, I would come up with a whole new idea and probably drop the vampire idea!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I'll be happy to do it but I hope this is not a scam or a rip-off!. Im a professional artist and I would love to do it as long as it no scam!.
I can draw Alyss hugging blake and it will be drawn wit dramatic lighting!. I will do it in red!. Alyss will have a midevil red velvet dress tell me what the boys are supposed to wear!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Sorry but you have no chance!.!.!. firstly any decent illustrator would need preparation for looking at composition, use of colour theory, tone etc, how this might work on a symbolic level to show characteristics!. Then research into other peoples interpretations of vampires to continually sketch thumbnails to achieve a final idea to create!.!.!. This is a basic need to make a half decent cover!.
Still there is a problem with little amount of information, with it being work for a book cover the artwork would be an illustration!. A basic meaning is to provide visual meaning to the text!. What you have wrote is a paragraph when a whole book is essentially needed!.
On top of the other problems time is a huge factor, in the Graphics project I did with thorough research it took me half a year to create my final book cover!.!.!. even if I spent all my free time to create this I feel it would take a while!. Plus nobody in there right mind would do this for free!.
My suggestion is to do this yourself or ask somebody you know personally!.
What your doing now is close to contempt, I'm not sure you understand how hard illustrating is!.!.!. O!.K I'm trying to help you, this isn't the way to do this!. By your desperation I can see you are very serious but illustration isn't something you can just add to fill in the blanks, it's just as important as the book!. To quote " I would really love anything", trust me illustration is not a profession for no reason so if you are deadly serious hiring a Professional would be the only way to go!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
