3 Illustrations Looking for a Book/Magazine Cover Home

All the Futures of the Past - an illustration by Duncan Long
Another three illustrations from the flying monkeys who fling electrons at the screen here at the Duncan Long Studio. As usual, these illustrations were pretty much created for my own enjoyment, though all three are spinoffs from ideas or materials for actual book cover projects (but which were never used). Hopefully they’ll eventually find homes with magazines or on book covers; in the meantime, they’ll help round out my portfolio.
The Train Racer - by Duncan Long
The Sign - illustration by Duncan Long
As this is written, all three of these illustrations have all rights available (which includes the book and magazine cover rights).
And now…
Time to get back to work on the book covers that I’m been contracted to produce.

You’ve outdone yourself with these — fantastic illustrations. Can’t imagine some lucky author or book publisher won’t be lapping up each of these.

need an e-book cover for a sci-fi fiction Twilight of the Gods (with a 2012 Native American theme) – could you email me your fees? Love your work…

Trace,
I’ll be sending my reply to your email… For the future reference of other readers, I generally sell the exclusive book cover rights (and the right to use the cover art in advertising that book) for $900 to $1,500 US (rarely a bit more if the cover is extremely complex, sometimes a bit less if the cover is simple).
This price is for an original illustration on the front cover in digital format so it can go directly to the publisher or layout designer. (For lettering, spine/back cover, extensive reworking, etc., there are addition charges — though generally not that much more since most of the detail is usually on the front.)
