Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Need a price for four book illustrations (older children’s adventure story about dragons and children – NOT fluffy and cuddly). The book size is 8.5in (216mm) x 5.5in (140mm) portrait format; also allow an additional ½in (13mm) all around for bleed.
The front cover illustration will be in colour and the three inside illustrations will probably be detailed black and white line drawings.
Illustration descriptions.
FRONT COVER
The majority of the story takes place on an island with one volcano. The island is dominated by one huge evil black dragon.
I’ve attached a couple of illustrations found on the web that in many respects encapsulate the look and persona of this dragon. He is jet black with scaly, shiny armour plating and has enormous wings and is very, very mean.
We would wish the bled front cover illustration to be dominated by this black dragon (not flying) with the smoking, glowing volcano in the background. The overall effect is to be dark, gloomy and threatening and probably at night.
The title details will be added at the top so this needs to be borne in mind when producing the illustration.
Illustration 2 – black and white line illustration.
This should depict and old fashioned (early 1800s) sailing ship caught up in a tremendous and ferocious lightning storm and with its main mast collapsing as it gets tossed about in the turbulent sea. On deck there are three children (an older girl – about 12 and two younger boys) they are attempting to rescue another boy (about 12), who has fallen in to the large swirling waves. The three children are attempting the rescue with a rope that has a piece of wood attached to the end.
Illustration 3 - – black and white line illustration.
View of the island from the beach with the bedraggled four children looking inland up the beach to bushes and then onto a tropical forest and there appearing imposingly in the distance is the smoking volcano with its steep rocky sides.
Illustration 4 - – black and white line illustration.
Shows the top of the volcano, around its edge are 12 rocky plinths that look similar to planks and these lead inwards over the edge of the volcano. On one of these plinths is one of the children being forced to ‘walk the plank’ in to the volcano by some dragons as other dragons and the remaining three children are watching. The dragons are of differing shapes and sizes, but none are flying.
