BOOK COVER ARTISTS QRP with your book covers! 📚✨

Cover for Tangled Past, The Chronicles of Nerezia #8, with the title in bold letters at the bottom. It depicts a lush forest with a massive tree sliced horizontally cleanly in two. A Wagon and several characters stand in front of it, watching small creatures with bark stand on top of one another. Others such creatures are around the cover, being playful.

Book cover for Lost Talent by M.S. Palmer, featuring two young women poised side by side as they channel magic. The one on the left has brown skin and long black hair and is holding a stave, while the other one is white with curly red hair and is channeling magic through a ring. The cover is mainly in the ace flag hues.

Book cover for Tessa of Hundrfeld by A.L. Heard. The main character, Tessa, a white woman in Viking armour, wields a hammer as she stands on a grassy plain. Thunderclouds are gathered ominously overhead, but sunlight shines through a break in the clouds to illuminate a hilltop village in the distance. The back cover has a knotwork motif with a dog symbol.

Bookish posters 📚

Illustration of an apricot branch surrounded by swirls of apricot brandy. There's hand-drawn text around the illustration reading "I have never been wise."

Poster of a star chart titled Lsel System, done in white on a grey background. It shows a path from the centre to a point between 150° and 165° on the chart. Text reads as follows: The PARZRAWANTLAK SECTOR, well-known for its rich mining deposits, was first illumined by the EMPEROR TWELVE SOLAR-FLARE, she who was a radiant blaze flooding all of the void. Carrying a population of roughly 30,000, LSEL STATION is the largest of a string of ten mining stations scattered through this small but valuable sector of space. While their government maintains cordial relations with the TEIXCALAANLI EMPIRE, the LSEL SYSTEM currently remains an independent body. The ANHAMEMAT GATE, beyond which the WORLD has not yet shined its brilliance, is also located in this sector

Thank you! It's a more recent interpretation of some even older Castlevania art I drew, also for pride.

Modern AU drawing of the Castlevania trio, Trevor Belmont, Alucard, and Sypha Belnades. They're standing close to each other, Trevor on the left with his arms crossed, Sypha on the right with a hand on her hip, and Alucard in the middle with his arms around both. They're wearing modern clothes, and all of them have tattoos. Trevor and Sypha both have an undercut. Alucard is wearing glasses and his blonde hair is tied back.

I'm gonna put my shop on sale when I have a minute, so if you've been eyeing any of the following, you're in luck

The cover page for my OC colouring book, Mailed It! It features a black and white line art drawing of my OC Mel drawing her sword, surrounded by flowers.

A book cover for Bite Sized by Eva I.

Happy pride month folks, I'm desperately busy so please enjoy some #art from my backlog 🌈

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.

Stylised portrait of two people, their faces pressed together as they stare into the distance. One has long straight hair while the other has shorter, curly hair. They are painted in blue tones with purple highlights while the background is bright pink.

A modern AU pride-themed drawing of Sypha, Alucard, and Trevor from the Castlevania Netflix show. They're posed so that they're making a heart with their arms. Trevor is wearing a red tank top with Belmont written on it and ripped jeans. He has a trans pin on his top. Sypha is wearing a holo hoodie and thigh high boots, with the holo pattern in the trans flag colours. Alucard is wearing a white shirt with pants, and a bi flag pinned to his chest. Behind them is the pride flag colours striped over a white background.

Drawing of my ocs, Aiden and Mel standing with their arms around each other's shoulders and making a heart with their hands. The heart has the ace flag in it.

Happy Asexuality Awareness Day! Past me would've been so stoked to know that I'd get to make covers for some amazing books with ace themes and characters. Lost Talent by @matthewspalmer.bsky.social The Chronicles of Nerezia by @clh2oars.bsky.social Help Wanted by @mixeduppainter.bsky.social

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.

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 poster titled The Right to Rule, painted in gloomy purple hues and featuring two characters standing back to back wearing serious expressions. Behind them is a portrait of an older man, splattered over with bright red blood.

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.

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.

I don't mention enough how much I adore lettering. Here's some examples of (mostly) hand-drawn type I've worked on (the first one was initially hand-drawn, then cleaned up and vectorised)

A book cover design for The Phoenix King by Aparna Verma. The title text is shaped like a flame. Additional text reads: Some sins are too heavy to burn.

The Reverend Daughter #HarrowTheNinth #Art

Drawing of Harrowhark Nonagesimus from The Locked Tomb, a slender young necromancer wearing flowing robes, a tattered cape, rib cage armour, skull face paint, and a sheer veil. She has her hands held out before her, holding knucklebone prayer beads, over which hovers a skull. The background depicts a highly stylised window inspired by gothic architecture that shows a view of deep space.

He is fun to write. He is NOT going to be fun for me to be around irl. I would have a headache 24/7

Drawing of a character with brown skin and dark hair, facing to the left of the screen with a big, mischievous grin on his face. He has a scar cutting through his eyebrow, and a small hoop on his earlobe. He is wearing a white shirt. The background is a bright blue sky with clouds.

Hi, I'm Eva! I'm a book cover artist for indie authors but I often do my own thing too. Stylistically indecisive but the common thread in my art is that it tends to be pretty colourful. Currently looking for cover work from May 2026 and onwards!

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.

Painting of a person approaching a cottage on a bright sunny day. He has his back to the viewer and is wearing a blue coat. The cottage he's approaching is somewhat run-down; there are chickens pecking in the yard, and a woman stands at the front door carrying a tub at her hip. She's wearing a blue dress with a white apron and a scarf holding back her long dark hair.

I actually don't have as many WIPs I'm carrying over to 2026 because I've made it a point to try and finish them this year. 😅 Cover for one of my own books, my OC getting targeted by a seagull, Gideon being goofy... I do have a couple other wips but I'm actually finishing them by the year's end.

WIP of a book cover with two characters having a romantic dinner at the beach at night.

Malenia, Blade of Miquella #EldenRing

A portrait of Malenia from Elden Ring, a white woman with red hair. Aeonian butterflies surround her, with several resting on her face where her eyes should be, as well on her hair and prosthetic arm. She is surrounded by reddish specks of scarlet rot.

Hi, I'm Eva! I'm still figuring out all the various intricacies of living with chronic illness, so I work freelance as a book cover artist. I also love writing and drawing about my OCs and interests, and make comics when time and spoons permit! 🥰

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.
