Grimdark Podcast Season Artwork

I’m commissioning a single, eye-catching illustration to promote the next season of my ongoing narrative podcast. The piece must be fully illustrative in style—think rich line work, atmospheric shading, and enough detail to intrigue listeners who love dark fantasy and horror.

What I need included
• The podcast title worked organically into the composition
• A drawn image of the story’s key characters (no photos of the host)

Tone & direction
The artwork should feel grimdark and unsettling rather than humorous or inspirational. Imagine oppressive lighting, muted or desaturated tones, and subtle horror cues that hint at the thematic shift this season takes.

Practical notes
• Final size: 3000 × 3000 px (square format for podcast platforms)
• File: layered PSD or AI plus a flattened high-res PNG/JPEG
• Leave safe space where I can overlay the season number later if I decide to add it.

Once approved, I’ll require full usage rights for podcast platforms, social media, and print merch. If this sounds like the style you excel at, I’d love to see a quick portfolio link or two with relevant pieces so we can lock in timelines.
