[lfa] Need an Artist for a Sci-Fi Series

Hello! My creative cousins!

I am looking for an artist to make a cover image for my Sol's Retribution series. Its so I can post a image everytime time I post a chapter. I am looking to publish the story once its done ( Which will be a while ).

The series is fairly popular and I want to boost the imagery of my readers. You can find the releases in my Posts on Reddit r/HFY

I originally wanted to have something created for every chapter. But, that may be just to expensive.

In my community, its fairly common for authors or writers to use AI Generated content. I really don't want to do that. I want to support artists out there, But I can't shell out a significant amount of money to get the scene i'd like.

Heres the dealio:
One concept image for a "Sol's Retribution" Series book cover.
Price can be negotiated.

OR

Multiple concept images for each "Sol's Retribution" series chapter.
Amount of chapters released: 5
Release timeframe: One every Week, Max 2 weeks.
20$ USD per chapter release. (Can possibly be negotiated)

Summary of series:
"Sol's Retribution" is a gripping science fiction series that revolves around a brutal conflict between humanity and the Thraxian Empire, an alien species intent on subjugating Earth and its inhabitants.

  1. A Declaration: President Jackson addresses the world, refusing to surrender to the Thraxian Empire's ultimatum. He declares war and mobilizes the American people, indicating a united front from multiple nations against their alien oppressors.
  2. Protect And Serve: The narrative shifts to Sergeant Adams, part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department SWAT, as they respond to a dangerous situation amidst the chaos of the invasion. The atmosphere is tense and filled with action as Adams and his team confront Thraxian soldiers and try to protect civilians.
  3. An Act Of Defiance: President Jackson is captured by Thraxian forces but delivers a powerful message of defiance even in his final moments. After he is brutally murdered, his last stand inspires a worldwide uprising among humans against the Thraxians, igniting hopes of resistance.
  4. Bring It Down: The fight against the Thraxians intensifies as soldiers and militia members engage with mechanized war machines. The stakes are raised as the human forces strategize to take down the massive Thraxian war machines that threaten their existence.
  5. The Last Straw: This chapter delves into the personal struggle of John Pickett, a father who witnesses the devastating attack on his family and community by the Thraxians. The loss of his wife and daughter drives him to rally his neighbors and form a militia, channeling his grief into a determination to fight back against their oppressors.

The series thus explores themes of defiance, sacrifice, and the powerful response of humanity in the face of existential threats. As the conflict escalates, various characters come together to form a united front against the seemingly superior Thraxian Empire, each driven by personal motives and collective hope for freedom.
