Great looking art. I am definitely going to keep you in mind for some upcoming books.
I already commented that my experience with Alberto went well, but I should also add that the cover on the far right (which is mine) was on my collection that recently hit the USA Today bestseller list. So not only did he do a great job, but it also sold books, which is, you know, fairly important.
Oh, and I've created a paperback, which printed great, along with free bookmarks/postcards (I don't sell them; I'm not sure if the licensing agreement covers that - if you're going to create store merch, ask) from the art that I give to fans (which they enjoy). The illustrations look really sharp in print. The illustration he sent is 7490 x 4682 and 300 DPI, so that's not a surprise, but if anyone was planning on printing items, they all look great and the illustration should print cleanly without loss of fidelity.
Anyway, my high recommendation obviously stands. Just thought I'd mention those points!

I just had to pop in here and let everyone who needs an illustrator know that Alberto is AMAZING to work with! You see those two covers above, in the middle? They're my partner's, and they're beautiful online and in print.
But don't take me too seriously, because my partner still needs him, ok?
Your work continues to amaze! Beautiful!
Beautiful work!

Beautiful work. But beyond a newbie's budget.
I'm also bookmarking this thread! Excellent work! I hope to start revising my covers in the coming year and I'll definitely keep your information available!
Excellent work Alberto
I think I can probably find you some additional work as a concept artist in the realm of film production. I'll track you down on facebook and message you there, as all in contacts in that business are on that social media rather than here.
Alberto did a wonderful job on an illustrated urban fantasy cover - great communication, followed all instructions, and came up with something unique and eye-catching that still captured the genre. Highly recommended.

Hi
Alberto is great to work with, he has a unique vision of how things work together. Also, he can handle a nitpicky client (me!).
Recommended a thousand times, will work with him again on the next cover of the series.
(I can't wait to get back to doing other covers for you. eheh)Beautiful work.
Beautiful work, Alberto.
Very impressive stuff. I like!
As an aside, would these kind of illustrated covers work well only in certain genres? I am thinking they would be best for fantasy, sci-fi, etc. Or could an illustrated cover like this work well in other genres?
That's some fantastic work. Each piece is great. I concur that Alberto is not only talented, but great to work with.
Nice work! You're a little pricier than my current artist. And I'm committed to give her all my fantasy series for continuity's sake, but I've bookmarked this for some of my other projects. (If I ever get around to finishing them!)
How far in advance are you booked and what is your turnaround time?
Excellent work! I am also very glad you listed pricing. A lot of artists will visit and are reluctant to state even a base price (some say they think it is a bit gauche). Yet I know authors will often over estimate the base price based on quality (ETA and thus never inquire because they think they cannot afford the artist). Those are excellent starting prices and it is great that you also offer the typography services.

Wonderful artwork.
Question: Do you ever subcontract out your illustrations? I'm a designer and sometimes I'm in need of a specific illustration - always on the lookout for fresh talent.

I like it! Finally someone who can do a little MG illustration.
