Looking to commission artwork for my game.

[TaiLiu]

This search has been a nightmare so far.

Every artist I have contacted (or who has contacted me!) either has such a high opinion of themselves or so a low opinion of my project that they either ghost me entirely or refuse to work for me for any amount of money.

Sorry that your search has been going so poorly. Hoping things get better soon.

My DM likes Dean Spencer. Does both commissions and also sells stock art, and seems to have lots of black-and-white art. You may also want to ask Monarch Fisher, though I don't think he specializes in black-and-white. (Disclosure: M.F. is a fellow player's partner.)

EDIT: Direct link to D.S.'s black-and-white art. (Anti-disclosure: I don't know D.S. and don't benefit from promoting this art. For that reason, I also can't vouch for the artist or anything.)
