Hi ho hello, newbie here. Loving the community so far :)

I was browsing through the forums and was delighted to discover an art forum! I have so far done a few art cover commissions for authors on Royal Road, but I haven't really solidified my art style just yet, so now I am looking for motivation to find it. You can see more of my art here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Xv1qTaWop9LzfsBA6FGrGIcPWBZfjG9o?usp=sharing

Here is general idea of what the sketches might look like. If I like your idea, I might add colors to it (although subject to experimentation for me to discover my art style):

If anybody wants a free character sketch of their novel, please do ask, I'm quite eager to fulfill your request!

Please do provide me as much detail about your character as you can, and if possible, you can send about 3 reference images. If you want a fully colored, and detailed character for your cover after you see the sketch, then I'd be happy to go through the commissioning process! (not free though sorry)

*What I DO NOT draw:
- Horror
- Highly Sexual imagery
- Demon stuffs

Thanks for reading!

Love to see creators of every shade! If I ever actually go somewhere far with L^3, I'll keep you in mind. I don't want to ask you to draw for free, but my WiPs don't feel quite there enough to justify a commission.

Do you have a standard rate?

I would like a sketch of the two main character from 'Epic of a Dragonknight'. If you don't do any non-human sketches than just one of James is fine too.

Can you sketch the MC that's on my cover and pfp? :biggrin_s: Just the head. Maybe in a pose like this.

They are the human and three headed feathered dragon on front.

What is "Highly Sexual imagery" in your book? I've been looking for someone to commission a new cover for my story with a pose like this:

If that's OK with you, how much would you charge for a piece with 4 males and a female like that?

I'm happy you the would consider me for commissioning! I currently do not have a standard rate, but it shouldn't be too high as of now, probably from around $5-$30. Feel free to pm me on here for more details/if you want to commission for a cover art.

Finished! Drawing dragons is not my thing, but thought to try it out and enjoyed it :)

Hey Lloyd,
I finished the sketch! I honestly have a general color scheme planned out for this one, and I see the potential of a good painting. In fact, I see so much potential I will pm you about it if you will allow me .....ˋ( ° ▽、° )

Thank you but I already have a cover. So a painting isn't really needed. It looks great though! :biggrin_s:

The reference images were decent already, but holy shit this is good.
Though his aura is completely different from Joshua's. (In story, not from the cover, that fits for the most part)

Thanks! I can just do a free character sketch for you if you want :D There's no need to ask for a commission from the get-go, no worries!

Maybe I can use it in a future chapter after he gets a bit older.

Oh, I might commission you for a cover regarding a new project I'm working on if that's alright. My current novel has a dragon as MC so I don't think It would work, but my new project has a human mc which I think would look great with your art style. I'll be DM for more details regarding your rates if that's okay with you, as I don't want to make you work for free.

omo I'm honored :blob_melt: I was expecting just to do a lot of free sketches, but it's always nice seeing people who are willing to commission for one!
thanks for the opportunity!

Hello! Awesome art. Is this offer still up? If so, I had commissioned art before in this chapter of my story. Just look at the image hidden by the spoiler tag. REND - 1.19 | Scribble Hub This is like a sort of evil god version of the main character. Can you sketch a normal human girl version of her? The human version has black hair and it's wavy too, but not floating like a ghost like in the reference picture. I'm kind of interested to see what that would look like in your art style.

Hello Temple,
Thank you for requesting! Yes the offer is still open. I truly apologize, I don't think I'm comfortable in drawing for your character. I should have included something about this in my first post, which is my fault. Although there is nothing wrong with drawing a normal girl for me, I looked over your novel and it doesn't go well with personal cultural beliefs. Thanks a lot for reaching out though, I appreciate it!
