[Hiring] Looking for an artist to make an album cover ($200 budget)

I'm looking for someone to make me an album cover for my Dnb album, I'd really love for it to have a somewhat psychedelic abstract dream like feel. I want to find someone with unique methods. The more unique and creative the better. I want it to look highly experimental. I connect more with scenes than I do with characters. I'd preferably like to have someone that enjoys listening to this type of music to do this one. Other than this I want to leave the brief fairly open ended because I want you to have a lot of creative freedom. Thank you!

switching away from alchemy

hey, i'm a somewhat new to music production but i've put all my skill points into sound design, and i feel like I can pretty much make alchemy sound how I want it to. features i feel like I really want would be some wavetable engine, and better filters. my current gripe is that i have no idea what alchemy's notch filter looks like, as it's completely missing a q knob? so how do I know how wide of frequencies it's cutting out? I find that I get a better sound by simply using channel eq to notch. some of the fx feel limiting, like the 3 band eq having no graphic (which is fine for functionality but it's also only 3 bands) and I end up stacking a lot of eqs together. the convolution reverb fx just kind of sucks. you only get half a phaser. no flanger or chorus. the phat compressor and vintage compressor are both simply passable. modulating envelope and lfo parameters like frequency is kind of buggy as the modulation window won't show when you click the knobs, you have to right click and select add modulation. attack on ahdsr envelopes is weird, it feels like I don't get the beginning of the attack, it jumps into the middle.

I'm wondering if i'm feeling the limitations of alchemy or if this is just me needing to learn more. i don't really understand comb filters. I really want to avoid dropping hundreds on plugins I don't need. just would love to hear some input from people who might have had a similar experience to me. I have literally never touched a different synth before. I have my eye on either zebra3, diva, serum 2, or pigments 7.
