Help with Book Cover Coloring (reward!)




update: Wedsday closing date. One entry.

Hello all, I'm in a bit of an issue. I'm writing a book in between creating the book that I have been for the past four years and I have the lineart done for it. It took forever, and I really need someone to help me out with the coloring job... If anyone is interested please tell me and I'll give you more information about it.

REWARD: (what you think I'd ask for help without giving you something?)

~ This is going to be the cover of a self published book that can be distributed anywhere in the world. I will be giving you credit for the coverart and you may get some exposure!

~ When I see the job all done, (and you're chosen) I will reward you with an elaborate drawing of anykind, colored.

~ I will be paying you accordingly, we'll work out a price together.


RULES:

If more than one person is interested, I will wait until everyone is done submitting their art to make my desicion on who's art will be chosen. Unfortunatly ther can be only one Sad

The girl must have dark hair.

A grey shawl

Pale PALE skin

And the ring of stained glass around her head must be colored a yellow/gold.

Everything else is up to you Smiling


Tell me what you think!

Very nice lineart. ^__^ I

Very nice lineart. ^__^ I would love to give it a shot, but I'm a terrible procrastinator. ^^; That, and people aren't exactly my specialty. We'll see, though. XD

And to be nosy and jump in on a conversation that isn't mine, you can save a file as a PDF in Photoshop. I know that there are a few other programs that can make such conversions, but Photoshop's definitely doable if you're working with an image. ^^

Yes actually it was like, I

Yes actually it was like, I had it in my mind, and then it just appeared though you! Totally awesome!! I wish more people had too, it would've been nice to see what others could've come up with and to be able to see their versions of it... oh well :S

Anyway I'll give you the rundown on a skeleton of the book...
Her name is Alex (Alexandra), and she's blind.
She goes to normal school, but gets picked on because she can't exactly see what she puts on every morning. She might not get around to brushing her hair, and her homelife sucks. She lives with her aunt and uncle John and Mable, and idk what happened to her parents. But she basically lives in a little tiny church in her little town, when she can. The minister there is a woman names Jen who is really nice... And later on Alex runs into some trouble and it all gets resolved, and it's all good!! Smiling

(You will be sent a signed copy personalized to you when it's out Smiling)

Proud Founder of The Lightbringers

That sounds really

That sounds really interesting! Jen sounds like a really nice woman and a character that I'd like...I'm big on maternal female characters lol

*gasp* a signed copy would be amazing! I was actually gonna ask if I could buy one when they are published lol but a personalized one would be much more special. Laughing out loud

Jen is an amazing person and

Jen is an amazing person and is solely based on someone I know in real life. She's my godmother, and a "mother" to many... I call her my mom (even though I have awesome parents) and she calls me her kid... Lol. Glad you like her, I'm big on maternal female characters also... I think I have atleast one in every book I've written Smiling

Yeah I could definiatly do that for you!! Smiling It should be out... uhm... Late April or early May if I run into some serious problems lol.

We should start thinking about what you would like drawing wise because no one else is speaking up to reap the rewards!! Lucky you!!
I will do my absolute best on this picture!! Smiling (Even though it may take as long as it takes to make the book!) Lol I doubt it...

Smiling Then we'll get discussing payment, I'll note you on Deviantart, a bit more of a private place lol!



Proud Founder of The Lightbringers

I'm sure real 'Jen' is

I'm sure real 'Jen' is honored that you've included an essence of her in your story!
Wow! Late April, so much earlier than I was expecting lol can't wait Laughing out loud
Hm I will have to think about that *ponders* Eye and don't worry about taking a long time, I can wait!
