I was tired of seeing that AI-generated header on my site whenever I checked out my own space, and I had some money lying around, so I figured, why not post a commission for talented people to delve into my nonsense and draw something beautiful out of it?

Here’s the commission post: link.

I’m trying to get strangers from all over the world to learn about Harelactal, the sasquatch goddess; Lorenzo, the sentient triceratops; Manami, the cat-girl; and of course, Izar Lizarraga, motocross legend. But I must admit that the notion of talented random people absorbing my words creeps me the fuck out. I’ll always be more comfortable as a niche writer whose works others check out at their own peril.

ArtStation is supposed to be the place to post such commissions. I originally planned to check out portfolios and approach individual artists, but most of the illustrations were astonishing; I mean, I’m a lowly self-published writer here, and these people are titans of art. So I figured that I would post a job instead. If any talented artists actually want to try it out, I’ll be happy to pay them for it.

If there are interesting developments on the progress of this commission from today to fifteen days from now, when the job posting closes, I’ll be sure to write some words about it.

I’m immediately making an edit because an amazing artist named Daniel Acosta just offered himself. Check out his portfolio. Holy crap! I’d be ashamed to ask such people for their artwork, even if I’d pay them.
