Well crud

Got a private note from my regular cover artist, pleading creative burnout, which I can't blame her for. Unfortunately it does mean I'm at a loss for cover art for "The Red Vixen at Sea" and "The Complete Red Vixen Adventures."

The main problem she was good and obscenely cheap (which I have pointed out to her before). It's a combination I'm unlikely to find again easily. Cover art for furry novels like these are rather dependent on showing off the characters so the reader knows what they're getting, and character art almost always means commissioning something instead of using open source images and an online cover creator.

So at this point I'm either going to have to go with that, or find an artist and do a Kickstarter to pay them what they're worth.

Unless chaypeta is willing to work for Terinu fanfics. :/

May I mention your conundrum to a friend who has done professional work for gaming books and the like. I think he has done furry work too. He is in Australia however. If you want me to approach him, please let me know on iosef at gothic net au

I really appreciate the offer, but hold off for now. Peta actually contacted me and agreed to have a go at the covers.

Oddly, she's Australian too. ;)

Do you think you could give me that information, please? Peta seems to have flaked out on me. :( I doubt I can afford his rates but I can at least ask.
