Looking for a talented illustrator and colorist for an anime-style book cover!

I'm wrapping things up and am preparing to publish the first book of the "The Unfamiliar Path" series. The last thing I am needing is for someone to do all of the following:
-Create a fully-colored cover page (front and back) with 12 characters (the 12 will be on the front; the back will just be a detailed background color).
-Develop a design style for "The Unfamiliar Path" logo - something that will last throughout the series.
-be bendable to adjustments of color, posture, angle, design, and overall process of the book cover.
-be contactable during the work process and quick to respond (Within 4 hours)

I will close the deal on the 30th of May and will need to have you complete the assignment a week after I provide you with all the details (roughly June 10th).

You will be provided with 12 detailed descriptions of the characters along with images that display what they'll wear. Information as to how you will draw the book cover and logo will be explained thoroughly.

The series itself is a Action-filled story with a decent dark side to it. Comedy, Drama, Romance and Psychological genres are also contained in it. I would like the colors of choice to reflect that in some way. With the instructed colors of clothing characters are wearing, it is natural for some of the clothes to look weird or too similar to other pieces of clothing. With that in mind, I will ask for your better judgement if something should be changed in a character's appearance.

The attachment below is a sample of the color scheme I would like to see. I'll also ask you to draw a rough design of one of my characters with color so that I can confirm your ability to produce what I am needing.

I would like the price for this assignment to be somewhere around $200-$250 (we can negotiate). 
The reason why this might seem too little of a payment for the work involved is because you will receive multiple perks in doing so, such as...
-Your artwork will be placed in online stores and many retailers in various countries.
-Your creditations on the artwork will attract more people to your work, pro-folio, webpage, social account, etc.
-More work will be made available to you from me if you choose to do so (because I'll need a similiar style to be made in relation to the first book's design.
-You might catch the eye of other big-timers who would like you to do a project for them.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via notes or my email at jxg12d@acu.edu
I know it seems like a lot of work, but I'll make it as stressless as possible! xD

All material shown to you by me during our partnership will be copyrighted in accordance to the ICF (International Copyright Foundation). You will be credited as the artist(s) of the book cover as well as the logo designer(s) with me pertaining the rights as the original owner.

-Half of the payment will be paid upfront with the rest coming after the product has been finished.

-The sample drawing should take no longer than 5-10 minutes, with hopes to see the color potential and design of the drawing.
That will not be paid for.

-The artist maintain credit all around, but will not be able to put it in his own personal protfolio until around July 1st. 

-It's been a long while since i've used DeviantArt, so I had some difficultly linking images and the likes on here. I've had people email me for those examples.

-Additional planning and finalizing will come after I receive the finalized Book Cover. I need to have things ready to go early in case something goes amiss and I can come back for a rewrite with some time left before the publishing deadline (this product is intended for folks who can spend a length amount of the week to work on this).

Hope that helps!

Some general questions that may result useful for other applicants to this job (this is why I'm not sending them in private):

Is this work paid upfront? 
Is the sample drawing you require unpaid?
The artist will have the right to use this work as portfolio? (Crediting appropiately of course)
Do you have an example of the level of detail you're expecting for this illustration?
Is there a particular reason why the deadline is June 10th? One week may be too little time to produce a good quality product.

Thanks in advance for your time, good luck.
