Hello, and I hope it's okay to post this here? I'm looking for artists to illustrate all twenty chapters of my SimmMaster centric fanfic, 'The Master Chronicles'. I do have a couple of very talented artists working on stuff already, but there are so many chapters and I'm very conscious of not wanting to ask too much of any one person or presume too much because I know that free time is very precious. And there are so many brilliant artists out there in DW fandom that I thought it would be great to be able to feature as many as I can.
If you think you might be interested, you can find the story here on my LJ : http://edzel2.livejournal.com/?skip=10&tag=simm!master
I've also just started to cross post the whole thing to a new Dreamwidth account because it seems to be much more user-friendly than LJ and I can actually post the illustrations as part of the chapter as they come in... so please take a look if you'd like to see how your work might look. http://edzel2.dreamwidth.org/
I'm happy to go with how each artist prefers to work: if you like to have a specific brief, I can do that; or I'm happy for you to choose your own illustration if that's how you work best.
The Chapters currently commissioned are: the Prologue (and you can see elbi_maku's awesome artwork on the Dreamwidth journal), Chapters 1, 2, 5, 7 and 9. Everything else is up for grabs!
A note here about the format: A4 is my preferred layout then I can shrink to fit where needed. Also, whilst I love colour (especially where HoodyMaster is concerned - but the Master in Book One is mainly SaxonMaster... although he does go blond partway through) I'm also aiming to get some hard copies printed up for friends and contributors (if you're interested in having a proper book version that is) so black and white/greyscales is probably best. Other than all that, I've no restrictions at all.
So if you think you might be interested, please sign up...and feel free to ask questions and so forth. Obviously there's no obligation at any point!
