I ran a contest a while back to do a book cover for one lucky author and a writer told me I should post to KBoards which I had never heard of. It made total sense that authors have their forums just like artists so that lead to a search for where the authors hide on the internet. I found you!

Anyways, I'm an illustrator that happens to read/listen to a lot of books and I just recently started trying to move from making artwork for games to making artwork for book covers. I'll probably be regularly popping into the forum to see if authors are looking for artwork and look at what authors are using/commissioning for their covers. Edit:removed images as they may have been too large.Here's a link to my portfolio .

Inspired by Jay Kristoff's Lotus War series of books.

Hi Joe. Welcome aboard.

I think your images are too large for AW. There's a size limit listed around here somewhere.

Anyway, great artwork!

Welcome to AW, Joe. I use different artist for my covers, and I am always in need of a good cover (LOL). I like your idea. Wish more artists would run contests. I missed your Link when you put it up. As the previous posts mentioned, just add a direct Link in your signature so we can all go look at your beautiful art. Again, welcome, and enjoy your stay.

Very welcoming group! Thanks Pingling. For some reason my signature doesn't seem to be appearing on my posts despite my settings so I thought I link was making it to each post. Found a way to link to some image thumbnails without having to save and upload new ones so I updated my first post.
