I will create a dark romantasy book cover with custom character art


About this gig
Your readers fall in love with a cover before they read a single page and in dark romantasy and monster romance, generic stock photo covers get scrolled past. Readers in this niche are hunting for art that feels as unique and untamed as the story inside.
I'm a Photoshop/Illustrator artist who designs fully custom, hand illustrated covers for dark fantasy romance, monster romance, fae romance, and paranormal love stories no recycled templates, no stock photo mashups. Every character, creature, and atmosphere is built from scratch to match your book's tone, whether that's brooding and gothic, sultry and dangerous, or lush and magical.
What you get: a cover designed around your actual story (not a generic placeholder), genre accurate typography that romance readers instantly recognize, full KDP compliant print files (front, spine, back), and a design process where you see concepts before anything is finalized.
I know this niche because I read it the tropes, the aesthetic cues readers expect, and what makes a monster romance or romantasy cover stop the scroll on Amazon.
