So I decided to split my first novel into two parts to make it more affordable (and thus, hopefully, more sellable...)

The problem is...the lady who was going to do my two covers...has apparently vanished from the face of the earth as she hasn't e-mailed me in literally months...and I can't really move forward and work on other books until this first project is finished.

That said...

I'm looking for a fantasy artist willing to two covers for my split book, the gates of avaelon, and the fate of avaelon...it's a romantic fantasy with fairies (human-sized), nagae, dryads, mermaids...lots of fun stuff...

I'm willing to pay..but keep in mind I'm a dirt poor college graduate student who does need to save some money if she wants to eat in the next month or so...so I can't pay exorbitant rates (has seen people charge $200-$2000 dollars for a single picture X.X;;;
If I had that kind of money to splurge on just a picture...I'd just go to a vanity press and get the whole bells-and-whistles publishing packages they hawk.
