Grace of Woman, 1st in a series of 6 images

Hello my name is Laura.

I have been creating images for a number of years, and love it! Only recently started to promote myself. I am achieving a great following, since in the last few months of promoting i have now created 8 cover images, mostly for digital Ebook covers and one full print cover.


I use 3d imaging, with the program called Daz studio. Once i have rendered the images i need, i take these into other art programs like psp12, ps-cs3, vue 7, painter x for the final touches of the whole image.

I like to work very closely with the Author, it helps if the Author has an idea of what type of image they want, it is usually a special scene in the novel, i then do my best everytime to create that image.

It's always nice to allow the Author 'sneek peeks' just to make sure the image is going how they like it. I am always willing to listen to the Author, changing details as we go along.

As for fees, i like to ask the Author what their budget may be for the cover they require, i then work this out as best i can and see if the payable amount is acceptable to the amount of work i would be doing. So i would say the fee would be Project dependent and i am willing to negotiate.

Please view Laura Redmond, Artist & Illustrator for more images.

Thanks!

A satisfied author
by: Ervin Tibbs

My first contact with Laura was a two sentance Email describing the cover I wanted for my book Philosopher's Stone. Her reply made me realize that she had an almost magical understanding of the kind of artwork I had in mind. Her first draft exceeded my expectations.

She is easy to work with, her work is timely, and most importantly, she produces beautiful covers.

Thank you, Laura.

Teadai Prophecies trilogy art!
by: Dana Davis

Laura did the artwork for my new young adult fantasy Breach of Worlds and my adult fantasy trilogy the Teadai Prophecies (Deadly Fate, Sage Truth, and City of Gods) with SynergEbooks. I am thrilled with her work. I was allowed input on the covers and she was very easy to work with and open to my ideas. I hope to work with her again in the future. Thanks, Laura!!

I am so appreciative for the great cover you created for Creatures of the Covenant. You grasped the theme immediately and quickly worked through some follow up suggestions and created a cover that pleased me immensely. Thank you, Laura. I look forward to working with you on other projects. All the Best! J.S. Bradford
