The day of reckoning has finally arrived: I have found my artist. Before I go in depth about the person in question, I’ll give a shout out to the couple of artists who offered themselves this weekend, with no luck:

• David Becerra Silva (portfolio): a talented artist with a bold, action-oriented style that I like a lot. Not what I wanted for this job.
• Saúl A. Arcucci (portfolio): a unique vision focused on dark fantasy. Quite interesting material. He could do bizarre well, but not the absurd, silly angle that accompanies most of my material.

Anyway, my chosen talent is Daniel Acosta, an artist from the land of Andrés Calamaro and Ariel Rot: Argentina. I can’t even with this guy’s talent and imagination. Check out his range:

Isn’t he grand? He’s the only artist who gave me the confidence that he could pull off bizarre yet silly material such as the sasquatch goddess (who is very much a sasquatch) and the sentient triceratops named Lorenzo, in addition to the lovely cat-girl Minami and motocross legend Izar Lizarraga. So in a couple of weeks or so I’ll be short 250 USD, but thankfully I’m made out of money, and I’ll have emblazoned my website with a header that I’ll love to stare at for years to come.

Tomorrow at work I’ll send personalized apology emails to all the other authors whom I had considered and that were informed of that fact. As for you reading these words, if you are neither me nor one of the artists in question but instead an author who has found your artist of choice through these posts, at my expense, I hope you’re grateful.
