Hi
This pertains to uploading a cover image for kindle books.
I browsed around a bit on fiver and saw people offering ebook covers. I notice a lot of these are either licensed/stock image with some design, or pure font style design.
What would the process be if I wanted someone to illustrate cover art and not use a stock photo? Would it be common for the illustrator to be able/willing to do the graphics.
Here are is example of what I am talking about:

(not exactly that look, but the idea of a non-photo cover)
I have seen artists online that draw in the genre/style I like and have a reasonable price, but they don't advertise as cover artists/ebook designers.
Would I have to take their art then send it to a second source to do the typography?
Also, from what I gathered there are some sizing particulars when uploading an image for a kindle book, but this is something that the illustrator could handle, yes?
Thanks a lot.
