Im looking for an illustrator for a fantasy novel based on swords withbmagic properties. The illustrator could be from any country but he or she should have a taste for the àesthetics of european middle age and viking sagas as well.

I would like the cover to be a mix of realism, heroism and fantasy.

I would avoid anybody with a cartooni-ish style, though, while I would consider more favourably a style based on the aesthetics of the thirties to fifties, but updated to more modern tastes.

Regards

i'm a rather good draftsman, i draw a comic book on the side - though it's been a lot of years since i attempted paint. my black and white work is good. almost everything i do is trended to middle ages themes.

when i think about fantasy book covers - Boris Vallajo and his wife julia Bell - they probably produce every high end fantasy cover you see. Boris' work also has a very 60 - 70's look and feel to it.

Louis Royo - his work is very modern sexy and bit risque does great airbrushing and watercolor work.

Johanthan Earl Bowser - his work is in oil and is myth related. his early work was wonderful, but lately it's a little lifeless in his subject matter. every chick is nearly the same painted in the same profile.

there's four current artist that i know of that work in fantasy related material - myself i'd give it a stab depending on what you wanted.

If you would like, I can send you a few pieces of my work, and also have a few illustrator friends.
(That sounds horribly pretentious, you have no idea who I am, nor have you ever seen any of my work. I can be a stickler for detail or specific instructions)

Are you looking for a black and white, modern-ish look, more of a 19th-20th century romantic style, or a rougher, wood-esque series of illustrations (kind of Da Vinci's model sketches feel)? Does the medium of the image matter to you, so long as it is digitized in the end?

Hello,
I am interested in the idea of illustrating for a sword related novel. I am currently going to college for a Fine Arts degree. I work in oil paints, pencil, charcoal, chalk pastels, ink, etc. I love to work in realism. If you want I can send you some samples of my artwork.
