Greetings Everyone,
So for a long time I've been looking for an artist that could really capture the essence of the main Tuatha de Danann characters.
- Danann
- Dagda
- Nuada
- Lugh
- Dian Cecht
- Goibniu
- Morrigan
During my interview with Ivan Torrent (Epic Music Producer) he introduced me to Carlos Quevedo a very talented photo manipulation artist. See below for examples:
See more in Gaiscioch Magazine Issue 4 or at: http://carlos-quevedo.deviantart.com/
As you can see he is a world class artist and has agreed to work at a reduced rate for us. However even at a reduced rate we would be looking at between $450 and $650 per image. While this is a bit out of my personal price range I was wondering if anyone would be interested in crowd funding a few projects over the next 2 years to kick out 7 of these. Each one would be individually crowdfunded and be used as the cover of the Gaiscioch Magazine along with a short story about each one of these Tuatha. In addition they would be featured on our homepage in the Legend area highlighting each of the 7 main Tuatha.
I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. I would love to do this but, I know it would be a pretty shinny coin to be able to make it happen. Another thing to keep in mind. There is very little art available that characterizes the Tuatha. Our crowdfunded project could be one of the first times a full set of art is available. I will add these illustrations to our Zazzle lineup so we can order prints and posters as well.
If you would be willing to contribute a few bucks to the project please reply here. If I get enough replies I'll setup a crowdfund project to make it happen.
