Cartoonish Dark Web Novel Cover

I’m launching a new web novel and need a striking, custom-illustrated cover that instantly sets the right tone for readers. The illustration should be done in a clearly cartoonish style yet lean into a dark, mysterious atmosphere—think moody lighting, deep shadows, and a subtle sense that something ominous lurks just off frame.

Rather than spotlighting the characters, the focus is on the setting itself. I picture an evocative background that hints at the world my story inhabits—architecture, landscape, or other environmental cues that feel rich with secrets—without revealing too much. Feel free to suggest symbolic touches in the scenery if they help reinforce the mood, but the scene should remain the star.

Deliverables
• One high-resolution cover (minimum 3500 px height, 300 dpi) suitable for major web–novel platforms
• A web-optimised JPG/PNG plus the layered source file (PSD or Procreate) so I can make minor text tweaks later
• Color palette and font recommendations if any title text is incorporated

I’m happy to provide a concise lore brief and reference images once we connect. Let’s craft a cover that pulls readers into the darkness before they read a single word.
