Illustrators on Fiverr

Hey Fiverrtastic blog readers,
Sorry it's been forever. I have been super busy with gigs. I am a Fiverr seller and a Freelance writer outside of this blog. Hiring an illustrator on Fiverr can be a fun, but also a daunting task. I have illustrator friends on Fiverr, but they all took vacation. I looked high and low for an affordable illustrator for my new children's book "My Friend Has Epilepsy" now available on Amazon Kindle and Smashwords. Check it out today. I only needed a black and white illustration and I could do the rest. I hired Fiverr seller Ella_banana to do some of the illustrations and I was amazed by her work. It was in a manga or chibi type style, but it was very professional. Her ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) is really long, but her work is well worth the wait. She produced some amazing work and I colored it in with Photoshop. :) Here, check out the illustrations she did. I don't think I have the colored versions on this new laptop. If I find them on my old dinosaur laptop I will update the blog.  (I had to get a new laptop in the last few months because the charging adapter messed up on the Asus. Go figure. I have bad luck with laptops). Check out the illustrations below.


She did a really good job creating the illustrations I asked for and if  I had the money to hire her for the entire book I would have. I used clip art for some of it and the end result turned out good. The book is called "My Friend Has Epilepsy" by Joshua Peck and it's on Kindle. It's an easy read and it's very informative. Check it out today. It will soon be on Audible and other ebook sites too. I don't really have any suggestions for Ella_banana but to maybe change up her gigs or add more every now and then and decrease the ETA. Besides that her work and her gigs are amazing. They are a must order. The next blog I will discuss a voiceover gig I ordered. There are plenty of things you can get for $5, but if you pay a little extra and are willing to order multiple gigs you will get amazing service. Until next time have a Fiverrtastic day.
