Anybody an artist (for real)

[tribaltalon]

So as some of you know, I wrote a book called The Viralution a couple of months ago, and while it's actually been selling quite a bit better then I thought it would, I still every time I look at my hokey ass homemade book cover. Part of my problem is that I just can't make up my mind on what would best describe my book while not being some overbearing, busy cover like alot of people use on Amazon. I will be providing compensation. I would prefer that the artist have some experience with war/zombies/apocalyptic/etc type of stuff, since thats the type of genre that the book falls into. If you or someone you know could be of service, email me at tribaltalon@gmail.com. TIA!

Did not know we had any authors here much less authors of my favorite genera. I will be picking the book up.

I don't think the cover is bad at all, but those fonts conflict really bad.

PM me what you're looking for. I haven't picked up my art stuff in the past couple years but this sounds interesting.

PM or just post what exactly you want. My mother is has a ton of books and is a senior editor for a big publishing company.

Thanks, I actually made that from scratch on Photoshop after watching about a billion tutorials. I know the font sucks, but meh. I'm oil field trash, not a graphic designer. LOL.

Let me know what you think Inline 6. If you do pick it up, please leave a review on Amazon after you read it.

Instead of PM'ing a bunch of random people, here are some of my thoughts as far as the cover.

1. A distant Austin cityline with smoke, devastation, all that good stuff and a soldier (Logan) on a hill with his back to the viewer looking at the scene. It can't be anything incredibly busy because keep in mind this image is going to appear as a 2x2.5" image on Amazon unless the potential buyer actually clicks on the book image to enlarge it.



2. Uncle Sam as a zombie/infected dude close up on his face and hat looking away from the "camera". almost like a photoshoot or painting or whatever. kind of like this but not a nun.



I really don't know what I want, or what would help me sell the most books. That's the whole reason why I want to enlist an artist/graphic designer.

Sorry if Tom isn't your style, he's an amazing artist!
