How does it work?
Brief, pricing
& deadlines
You send me the description of your book, atmosphere, characters, scenes, inspiration pictures, whatever might help. We agree on what is to be delivered (like additional maps, logos), style, price and deadlines.
Sketches & revisions
In a few days I deliver to you 2-3 different sketches, to pick one. This is the time for major revisions. After you approve the sketch, you will get invoice for half the price we agreed on.
Final cover & payment
I’ll set to work on the final artwork, which you will receive first in a lower resolution and can make small revisions to your liking. You get an invoice for the second half of the agreed price.
Print files
& delivery
After the invoice is paid, I will send you the print-ready artwork files we agreed on.
I can also help you create marketing content for the books based on the final art.






About the artist
My name is Tibor Pastrnak and I’m a digital artist from Slovakia (in the heart of Europe).
As an avid fantasy and sci-fi book reader myself, these day I enjoy the grimdark subgenre the most.
Apart from my day work as a graphic designer I’m a freelance illustrator with more than 10 years of experience in the business. I made mostly covers for foreign language editions of books by renowned authors like Brian McClellan or Ed McDonald.
After a long time of working with traditional publishers I decided to offer my services also to self-publishing authors. I’m looking forward to working with you.
