Illustration Services
Raven has worked with Adept Press, Neoplastic Press, Anvilwerks (now CRN Games), Driftwood Publishing, and a variety of other independent publishers and individuals, providing quality cover and interior illustrations for various projects.
He is also a current member of The Artisan’s Quarter, the art-and-design arm of Athas.org (Wizards of the Coast’s official support group for the Dark Sun campaign setting).
From 2002-2005, Raven served as the head web and graphic designer and photographer for the award-winning and internationally known River Point Resort and co., creating a series of local and international ads and brochures for the resort. He has also created the logo for and worked on the web design of Echo Shores Resort, as well as a number of other area resorts and businesses over the years.
A small sample of his published illustration work can be seen in the column to the left, and more can be found in his gallery on deviantArt.
Raven is mainly interested in projects for small and independent presses, particularly for the tabletop gaming industry, but welcomes any inquiries. Note that he is available for full color and grayscale pieces; he is not available for B&W line-art or spot-color work. Please contact Raven if you would like to discuss a project with him or retain his services.
Rates & Other Information
As Raven mainly works with small-press and independent publishers, rates vary depending on the publisher, the scope of the project, and his own interest in the project. For those desiring a ballpark figure: a full-page color illustration may cost from $200 to $600 depending on the complexity of the subject matter, level and amount of detail, and use-in-product. Quarter page grayscale illustrations cost around $25, again depending on the complexity of the subject matter. Half page grayscale costs around $50, etc. Please contact him for a quote.
Note that all work is produced digitally and does not use traditional illustration media.
The WHS standard illustration contract is as follows:
1) Half the total payment is required before work begins on any contract; the remaining half is paid upon completion. Client receives print-ready finals after final payment.
2) Rough concepts are provided and approved before moving on to final versions. After concept approval, one minor revision per final illustration will be done at no extra cost.
3) The client is given agreed-upon usage rights for the artwork (usually reproduction for a specific project and promotion relating to that project); purchasing ownership of the illustration can be negotiated.
