Active Banner Artists
There are currently 15 active banner artists.
Please do not contact more than one banner artist for a single request. You may contact a 2nd artist if the first is unavailable or does not respond to your request. Always give your banner artist credit in your story or chapter notes.
If you make a request, please provide the following information: Do you want a banner? Are you looking for something artsy and quirky? Well do I have you covered! Hi, I'm Liv, I'm a young artist looking to make some banners for the community. If you want a banner, I'll need:
Title and Penname
Whether or not it's for an event
What preferences and ideas you have for the banner
Color scheme
And when you need it by (please give me at least a few days in advance, I can knock something out quick but I don't want to be rushing for a last minute thing)
Please keep in mind not every banner artist is meant for every project. If we end up working together and it doesn't work out, that's okay. If I'm not able to come up with something, I'm not going to push it and I will let you know as soon as possible whether or not I'll need to back out. With that being said, hope you enjoy the examples I've listed!
Examples of my work:
If you make a request, please provide the following information: banner size, story title & author information, what you want to see on the banner, genre/general mood of the story. Oh and the DEADLINE. I *need* a deadline to get things done (otherwise work and other deadlines will get priority). Warning: I don't have a lot of time I can dedicate to banner making, so if you need one at short notice, there's a chance I won't be abe to comply with your request. But always feel free to ask!

I typically make variations for every banner I make so that the author gets some choices for different looks. Some variations are subtle, other variations are different image choices for a character. My biggest cheerleader, Chelle, encouraged me to also link my
album of banner variations for her story,
The Hunger . These are of the subtle variety and are based on the layer blend mode I chose for each one, so if that is your thing, check them out

Emotions! The thing I find myself asking the most about is what the characters are feeling/expressing and how we want them to show that on the banner. (Get ready for me to ask you questions and probably send you some options. 👍)

It’s been a long time since I was doing graphics on a regular basis and the apps and entire landscape have changed, but I’m working it out and would love to make banners for others! Update: I now have a copy of Photoshop again for the moment which I think makes a big difference in the quality of my work, so yay!
You can message me here, but Discord is preferred. ❤️
