Judging a book by its cover.

Hi guys,

I've recently illustrated the cover of a new book, The Quest of the Thirteen by John DeFilippis. My question is, do you want me to do yours? I'm quite new to the book cover world, only digital painting for the last year but I'm doing quite well. My prices are low but my work is very high end. Check it out for yourself and get in touch.

Lets make something amazing guys.

I too think your work is great, as another who is writing fantasy I was inspired by the images!

I loved the horned-rat, reminded me of one of my own creatures (a rat-croc).

Chris has a great idea about buying prints. Do you have any prints for sale?

Great stuff, would love to see more!

Loved the work, it is exactly the kind of style I would want for my cover, but unfortunately at the moment I don't have any kind of agreement to publish my book.

If I ever do, I will definitely remember you and see if we can work together.

Out of curiosity though, is there a website I can visit to see your prices? Maybe I can afford to order a picture before I find someone willing to publish my book :)

I would love to have one to hang on my wall :P

Good luck with your work.
