I am in need of some creativity. I can’t draw anything more than a stick figure, but I need some more detailed art for a book I’m working on.
If you are interested in submitting work for the book, you can view what I need below and send it along. You will not receive any royalties for the work, but will receive mention in the acknowledgements/credits of the book (including an “about the artist” page if you wish), if I use your art. I would reserve the right to alter the art in any way I need to, but still giving you credit for it. (any art or sketches must be at 300 dpi)
So if you’re willing to do some quick sketches for me (black and white only), or have some photographs that would fit these categories, here is what I need:
- a Castle, preferably one with very tall spires
- a horse drawn carriage on a wooden bridge crossing a river
- a run down house, preferably a cottage
- a fountain in a town square with water, and another without water
- a little girl, 5 years old, long blond hair
- a boy with hair that looks like flames
- a girl, 18 years old, on a horse
- a bubbling cauldron
- a lake with trees in the background
- two heavy set women standing in the distance
- a boat on a river
- a rectangular wooden box with ornate carvings on it
- two goblets being clinked together
- an impressive fountain, in a courtyard with water pouring from it
- tall woman in a long flowing gown, hooded so you can not see her face
Thanks in advance to those creative folks out there! Contact me directly if you are interested and we can discuss next steps.

And why is a stick people castle inappropriate?

Well I want this to be a bit classier than stick figures - I’ve actually been looking at some of the art by Secret Simon, and might want to contract for some work - really really cool stuff over there.
