SEEKING ARTISTS TO COMMISSION

I'm releasing a weird west horror novelette called Bone Rot. I want to promo it by commissioning artists, bc I'd rather support my fellow artists than just a shit out a bunch of bland social media marketing posts. Details below the image. Here's the cover art:

Who I'm looking for:

Artists who enjoy horror, weird West, sci-fi and creature features.

What I'm commissioning:

It'll be something like a standard commission where I ask you to draw a character or two. Once complete and the novellette is released, I would then ask you to post that image on all of your socials, with an attached link to the novellette. You will also, of course, be able to use the art in your portfolio and use me as a reference for future things you apply to, because I want this to be beneficial to you as well.

Release is currently estimated at late July, but I'll give grace periods as needed to artists. If you'd like to see more visual examples of the contents of the story, my main illustrator, Ryan Miller, has been posting some of the images on his Instagram, @ramillerart, and I'm perfectly willing to send you some references too.

As for budget, I sadly can't pay more than $70 per commission. I wish I could, but late stage capitalism is kicking my ass 😭

Please reblog and share elsewhere!!

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

i genuinely can't fucking deal with the larger internet anymore holy shit what the fuck are you people TALKING about. i am at my limit with this stupid bullshit. who the fuck cares if a man is hired to draw medical diagrams for young girls jesus christ we're pearl clutching about medical illustrations now? next you're gonna tell me male pediatricians shouldn't advise parents on their kids' vulva issues? male surgeons shouldn't be in the room when performing a procedure where a woman's breasts or vulva might be exposed? male researchers shouldn't conduct gynecological medical research? sure. better for men to live in ignorance and NEVER ally themselves with us to expand access to sexual education and reproductive healthcare i fucking guess. Twenty thousand likes. i hate it here KILL ME

Lord, grant me the strength to throw away this box that i'll never use, the courage to throw away this box that i'll never use, and the wisdom to throw away this box that i'll never use

to be honest, i only personally care about plotholes when they appear in writing i already have a bunch of other problems with. if i like something enough, i'll give it a pass/invent an explanation in my head. i can't find the exact quote, but roger ebert said something about this. to paraphrase: "the movie's problem wasn't [such and such inconsistency], its problem was that i was bored enough to be thinking about that."
