So I've just finished my first novel with intent to publish, part one of the Architects Of The Illusion series, which is at points a completely original transposition, at parts a reimagining, and at parts a revitalization of the Starfox fanfic series I had been hammering out and finished last year.

So with this first original novel completed, it's time for me to start thinking about the art side of it. Aside from needing a front cover concept and artist, I'll be hoping to have one high-quality, full-page image at the start of every chapter, depicting a still image from the events of that chapter. The purposes of this are two-fold: to give the reader a clear picture of what my anthros are built like (because there are many different types of anthro art and literature: there's the 'talking non-anthro' Disney route, the caricatured Looney Tunes style, and the more humanoid Starfox style which I'm using), and to nudge the reader towards the general atmospheric ballpark of what I'm writing towards while still letting them keep their own envisioning of what's going on to some extent.

So I'm looking for an artist that can fill the following style I've been kicking around: someone who can take my character style (I have pics of my characters that fit character structure if they need it), and fill it with a great deal of expression and emotion through shading, accentuation, angle, depth and pose. The artist involved will naturally be required to read the book in its technically complete but pre-release version, and if they decide afterwards that they don't want the project, then that's fine.

Nothing's set in stone yet, so I might even go with no art at all if things aren't going smoothly on that front or if I'm convinced that no art would be a better idea. If you want to help in any small way, if you believe yourself to possess the above attributes or know someone who does and is willing, then contact me or spread the word to the right people, respectively.
