Novel Cover Illustration (Ebook) -- 2
Budget: $50 – $320 CAD
I'm in need of an illustrator to create a captivating colored cover for my fantasy novel (No need for spine and back designs). Here are a few things to consider:
- At least 400 x 600 pixel or larger
- Key Elements: The cover must incorporate two characters' silhouettes in a mountainous landscape/background, further details are listed below on key features.
- Genre: Dark Fantasy inspired. However, do not include any odd creatures or other figures, like the two colored reference photos attached, to keep the cover more interpretable and easily imaginable as readers are given more context.
- Ideally, a simple cover that leaves much room for interpretation by readers.

More Detailed Description (No need to read through if uninterested)
The two dark silhouettes should just outline their most distinctive features like size and what they are holding. They'll be atop a mountainside, as we look at their backs in the distance. Two men. One is smaller than the other, a little shorter than the average man and the other is disproportionately larger, almost twice as large as the smaller figure. Both are wearing loose cloaks waving gently in the wind while the larger figure is carrying a large spear leisurely.
They are traveling atop an obscured mountain top peering into clouded and misty valleys and faint figures of distant mountains. No buildings nor other creatures are needed as compared to the inspirational photo attached.
One of the reference photos of the idea attached below is black and white with two men atop a vast mountainous region, and I want my cover to be similar to that 'feel/vibe' but with silhouettes instead of clear views of their faces. Instead with one man drinking, we can only see both their backs as they view the foggy landscape in the distance.
Looking for wispy color tones of Greys and Blues primarily and in the "style" of the two colored attached photos below while taking the scenic inspirations of the black and white photo with two men.
