Love it! Does this mean you'll be doing more covers in the future? Dreamspinner? *bats eyelashes* Because we would SO love to see more of your work on our books!

I wouldn't think so. I googled them, and all their novel covers are simple photomanipulations. I don;t think they use illustrators

They do both photomanips and illustrated covers! And they would LOVE your work!
Anne Cain did my mermen covers. Here's one of them: shiraanthony.deviantart.com/ar…

I guess it depends on their pay scale then 
But I did enjoy doing this for Z.Allora

I certainly understand that! Z is wonderful, btw. Love her.
Some of the authors hire their own cover artists even when they publish with a publisher. I'd love to talk to you about a project at some point, and I'd be happy to pay you for your time.

Well just send me a private note whenever the time comes
and yeah. Z.Allora hired me outside of her publisher.

It's not been printed yet. I think it should be by the summer. The author made a comment in here, you could ask her if you like:

OK, so it's homoerotic. And the artist may prefer his own sex. Is that a problem?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it just seems like a waste
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If its not obvious then you need help too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I wanna see how you explain it. Because I'm pretty confident there's either a holy book or a double standard you're clinging to.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nope, its just gay and a waste of talent.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Describe what you think "gay" means and why it is necessarily a bad thing.
Elaborate on why you think this is a waste of talent as is, but wouldn't be if the subject was female.
Explain to me why you think ANY artist, let alone EVERY artist, has a responsibility to cater to YOUR sexual preferences.
Let me see if you can come up with anything that doesn't betray an infantile, guttural fear of any perceived threat to your egocentric machismo.

if it was a female it would still be gay. As long as this guy keeps digitally "painting" with this style, in any context, it will be gay.
If he had his own, unique style, and drew transexuals with machine guns fighting in space, then that would be acceptable because he made it his own. regardless of the context so long as it is orignal or whatever
This is just generic anime style #4598590645968540 9whatever, and it seems as if its only for the views, and most of his work just looks homo erotic,which panders to homosexuals and sissy girly girls and it is therefore gay
Being gay is a mental retardation, so maybe he can't help it, but its still gay and I have a feeling he can't do anything outside of this gay style.
Which is really gay
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Being gay is a mental retardation." No, presently, being gay is being homosexual, which is the result of epigenetics and hormonal imbalances in utero, and has no bearing whatsoever on one's intellect. In the past "gay" meant happy. It has neither now nor ever referred to stunted mental faculties except in the minds of teenagers looking to bully each other with words they don't fully understand. (see here: s3.amazonaws.com/theoatmeal-im… )
BTW, in case you haven't realized, most artists are poor, so if pandering to a preferred audience puts food on the table, who are you to judge? Even if it were kind of generic with a limited range of facial expressions, this level of output still takes a lot of technical expertise.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you are also retarded. If pandering puts food on the table then he could also drop to his knees and suck a dick.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He could. However this lets him keep his pride. Also, I phased it poorly, it's not so much pandering as tapping a market.
He might be drawing these things for himself, too, you know. And maybe this is the style in which he was trained. This is a very common style to learn for video game animation.
I could also say it's "retarded" to draw in your horrid style just for shock value. I'd be wrong, but so are you for calling any original art that somebody appreciates a waste.
Also, don't knock sucking a dick til you've tried it. You might find your mouth a better substitute for a partner than your hand.

no, what he is doing is gay. What I am doing is right.
You just like sell out style shit cause your also a pop loving faggot.

You speak with such certainty when that certainty is a sign that you've fallen prey to the Dunning-Kruger effect. I suppose you're ("YOU'RE" = "YOU ARE" - GET IT RIGHT YOU POMPOUS TWIT) also the type to cease to like something as soon as it becomes popular or mainstream?
You have no right to such confidence until you've had to rebuild your pride and ability to trust your own skill from scratch after it's been trampled by your superiors, and your ("YOUR" IS POSSESSIVE, END OF STORY) superiors are a great many in number. Try to learn some quantum mechanics--I mean REALLY understand it--and feel everything you thought you "knew" crumble between your fingers.
As for me, I will continue to demurely enjoy a wide variety of art, the original, the tributary, even the derivative, because I appreciate the technical expertise as well as the idea. And I surmise you will continue to hurl homophobic slurs to distract yourself and others from the disquieting uncertainty of your sexuality, unaware more to your detriment than anyone else that sexuality is a fluid, irrational thing best left unlabeled and unfettered by traditionally-gendered expectations. As always, I could be wrong, but I'll take comfort knowing your deluded arrogance will steer you to far worse encounters than me. Bye-aye

And again, why do you think calling someone homosexual is an insult, much less one that can win you an argument you already lost by the third comment?

Now you're just being childish. That doesn't answer my question at all. In fact you've never answered my original question. What's wrong with being gay?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nothing. But this art is gay. Sooo gay.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And what's wrong with that? Yes, you are heavily implying there is something wrong with the male homoeroticism in this work.

I fucking knew it. Leviticus. You're a Bible-thumper.
Welp, I hope you don't eat shellfish or wear blended fabrics. Otherwise you'll be joining all the gays in hell. Assuming that's a place that exists.

Heaven and hell are all human concepts, turned into the greatest fairy tale known to man.
sorry, you caught me trolling, But this was fun. Not really though. Check out my latest drawing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Saw it. Not a fan, but I can appreciate the style.
I quite enjoyed myself as well, but you might wanna quit the trolling business while you're behind. You come across as someone who resorts to the trolling excuse to save face upon losing an argument.
