Looking for artists
Hello there, im a non pro writer, but Im looking for an artist who can help me with the illustrations for a book Im making (a TRPG manual based mainly on D&D and Aquelarre). Of course, I would pay for it, but the tariff is something we will need to accord in order that Im only 20, and a student.
If you are interested please dm me. The art style Im looking for is old medieval one.
