I've been working on some very cool #covers lately, and I'm always down to make more. If you or someone you know would like to book me (hehe) to illustrate and/or design a cover in 2025, feel free to reach out!
isthiseva.carrd.co#covers

An illustrated book cover for Help Wanted by J. Emery. The cover features a harassed-looking raven sitting upon an open book on a desk. Behind the raven the desktop is strewn with several several sheets of paper, stacks of books, a smoking candle, and stray feathers. The title is included inside speech bubble coming from the raven.

A book cover for Awakenings, The Chronicles of Nerezia – 1 by Claudie Arseneault. The cover shows three figures on a sandy road in the middle of a red desert, facing away from the viewer as they look up at a domed city atop a red cliff in the distance. The three figures consist of one person in a tattered cloak, another with curly blond hair and a yellow tunic and armour, and a lizard person in a jumpsuit and goggles. Their vehicle, a cyan wagon with numerous pipes running along it, is in the foreground, partially cropped out of view. The colours are bright and vibrant, with orange and pink as the predominant tones.

Cover art for the web novel Tales from Aurea. The title features a sword as the T in Tales and two dragons forming an infinity symbol in the background. Five characters stand ready to fight under a solar eclipse. From left to right: Leif, a man with a battle axe and cocky expression; Jo, a muscular woman with a mischievous grin; Kaja, a small, nervous girl with dragon horns and a tail; Sakrattars, an elf wizard with a spell book and a toad on his head; Amale, an anthropomorphic painted dog holding a bow.

A full wraparound book cover for Stories from the Deep, The Chronicles of Nerezia – 4 by Claudie Arseneault. The cover depicts a massive yellow-and-teal kraken locked in battle at sea with someone with water powers. Along the shoreline is a wagon, from which two people are bursting out to view the battle.

Did the math and it's looking like we'll need to raise another $1000 (USD roughly in two-ish months.

Again, if you enjoy my work and would like to show your support to this person, feel free to check out my shop!

Alternatively, you could sub to my Patreon as well I suppose:

A promotional graphic for Is This Eva's Patreon. A speech bubble at the top reads: "Support me on Patreon!" Below are circular images depicting the three available tiers: $1 (Need For Seed), $5 (Best Buds), $10 (Beleaf In Me). Decsriptive text reads: "For early access posts, WIPs, time-lapses, high-res downloads, exclusive art, process notes, wallpapers, and more!" At the bottom is a link leading to my Patreon page. A character walking across a sunflower field holding a basket of sunflowers is imposed over the graphic.

So this same person is trying to save up for a medical procedure in a few months, and I'm currently putting aside most of my earnings for them. I have a number of wallpapers and brush packs on my shop if you'd like to chuck something their way

Obligatory La Belle Dame Sans Merci study 😂

A study of the painting La Belle Dame Sans Merci, featuring a man in armour standing before a woman on horseback. They both have brown skin; the man has shoulder-length blonde hair while the woman has long and flowing black hair, atop which rests a flower crown. She's leaning over the saddle to smile down at him playfully, while he stares up at her with a devoted expression. The horse, which has a black coat and wears armour pieces that matches the man’s, is stamping a foot and staring at the ground.

Painting of a man on horseback leaning down to kiss a shepherd, who is holding a lamb in their arms. There are two sheep in the foreground. In the background, an overjoyed sheepdog is bounding towards the shepherd and the traveller. The background is a yellow grassland with a forest and mountains in the far distance. The sky is bright blue with soft clouds.

A low-angle close-up drawing of two people lying on the grass at twilight. The image is focused on the person at the back, who is gazing at the person in the foreground with an expression of adoration and dawning comprehension (he just figured out he's in love). The other character, whose face is slightly blurred due to the camera focus, has her eyes closed with a peaceful expression on her face.

A portrait of Fitz and Beloved gazing into each other's eyes while touching tenderly. They are both painted in an ethereal way, bright and glowing and golden; the outlines of Fitz's form fade indistinctly into the dark background.

Hi! I'm Jan, I'm a cover artist and character designer for MM novels!

Cover art for a 2nd book in the series called 52 HZ
It shows a young man with black hair and his eyes closed floating in water and a huge whale is visible behind his head.
Another man with read hair is sitting in the director's chair in the front plane as if he's imagining the first young man as his creative vision.

A book cover: Rears & Vices by E.M. Caro. The cover has three men: an auburn-haired man, a black-haired man, and a blond man, all dressed in early 19th century clothing, all clearly sailors. The auburn-haired man is embracing the black-haired man across the shoulders. The blond is standing protectively by, holding the hilt of his sword.

Cover of "The Mage and his stolen prince" by J.E. Ridge

A young man in black clothes and long silver hair sits on a stone ruin. Another man with bright red hair sits near his feet and leans his head towards the blond man's knee.
They both hold magical purple flowers in their hands.
A beautiful mysterious garden is in the background.

Digital cover art for MM vampire romance "How to flAUNT YOUR CHAINS AD SURRENDER A VEIN" by D. N. Bryn

One POC man, with long black hair, dressed as a modern day pirate is tied up with magical metal cords but he seems to be flirty in this station. The man he is flirty with is a tall and muscular black man who observes him with interest

#GraphicDesign #Illustration

Book cover for The Distance Between Stars and Salt by Alex Harvey-Rivas. It's a dark blue graphical cover, framed by an hourglass motif composed of stars. The top half of the cover is taken up by the title, which is drawn to include the Maltese cross motif. The bottom half depicts a luzzu tossing on a turbulent sea, below which is the author's name. In the background are subtle constellations.
