This is for a future commission, I will not be needing this right away but am gathering price quotes so I can save up for it. I will definitely be willing to pay for good work, but not in the $1000s.

I am currently working on a Science Fantasy Novel called Harbinger about a bad-ass faerie princess on the run from her blood-thirsty uncle (who is also king), the man he arranged her to marry (who might be even more evil) and their deadly armies. The royal harbinger has foretold she is very fertile and will bring many children to the realm--and of course she doesn't want to do this-- so she escapes. She also must deal with all manner of lethal forest and mountain creatures. Not to mention on her planet it is blizzard-like conditions 10 out of 12 months of the year.

I'm not 100% positive what I want on the cover and am willing to let you be creative, but I know I want my MC with her back to the reader (like this [link] or this [link]) and the main background to be blue or purple (or something other than BLACK).

Looking for realistic/photo manip style like these:

Transportation in this world is done in many ways, but a big way is through air balloon portals so some of these in the background would be awesome:
