[HIRING] Artist for 2 Substack Serials

Hello! I know this sub is AI free but I'm going to state it firmly, I will not accept anything done by AI; it goes against my brand and against my beliefs as a person. If I wasn't against AI, I'd use it for this, but I'd rather hire a person.

I am looking for 2 thumbnails for substack serialized romance novels. I'm personally a fan of simple+nice word art, I've got a placeholder sample of a Concept for them both, however as my friends have pointed out to me, I have no taste. I also have no concept of what sells.

Novel 1: Contemporary Hockey Romance, Kink/Femdom-Heavy, titled Slapshot: Penalty Box Blues
Novel 2: Contemporary snowed-in-cabin in Alaska, Musher Game Warden x Girl He Rescues titled Cabin Fever

I am NOT looking for covers, just thumbnails for substack. Starting point is $75CAD for both

MUST BE ABLE TO BE PAID VIA PAYPAL OR YOU'RE CANADIAN AND CAN TAKE AN E-TRANSFER

Edit:

AI USERS ARE LAZY STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY POST YOU ASSHOLES

THUMBNAIL FOR 50RS

In need of some extra money to spend. I'm just a college 1st year student. I just want to kickstart my freelance journey.

I don't use AI in my thumbnail and my thumbnails will help you Increase ctr.

Why so cheap: Have been learning thumbnail designing for about a month and I don't have experience to be hired in Fiverr. I just want some experience and some extra money even though it's less. I tried reaching people who would pay more but wasn't qualified and at this point will work for even 50 rupees.

I’m looking for a thumbnail designer for a YouTube channel focused on documentary-style content (shocking facts, hidden truths, real stories).

Details:
• High-curiosity, click-driven
• Dark / high-contrast
• 1-3 strong subject
• Minimal text (2–4 words)
• Red highlights (circles/arrows/glow)
• (10+ per week, long-term)

If interested, DM me with:
• Your portfolio 
• 2–3 best samples
• Rate

If it’s a fit, we’ll run a quick sample (unpaid) based on this style reference https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealFact-TV. Main topic is about Gordon Ramsay and his shows.

Looking for a YouTube Thumbnail Designer (Commentary / Curiosity / World Exploration Style)

Hey! I’m starting a new YouTube commentary channel focused on:

  • forbidden/abandoned places
  • interesting locations/cultures around the world
  • internet rabbit holes
  • mysteries/conspiracies
  • weird history/culture
  • interesting and unsettling places/topics

I’m looking for a thumbnail designer who understands modern YouTube CTR and curiosity-driven packaging, but WITHOUT the super over edited MrBeast/TikTok style thumbnails.

The vibe I’m going for is:

  • curiosity-driven
  • atmospheric
  • clean and cinematic
  • mysterious/intriguing when appropriate
  • grounded and authentic
  • visually interesting without feeling fake or over processed with AI

I looking for someone who understands:

  • visual hierarchy
  • curiosity gaps
  • strong focal points
  • commentary-style YouTube packaging
  • how to make people click through intrigue and atmosphere instead of overload

Examples of the overall vibes/styles I like:

Budget:
~$50 per thumbnail depending on quality/experience.

If interested, please send:

  • portfolio/examples
  • YouTube thumbnails you’ve made specifically
  • any creators/channels you’ve worked with
  • your Discord/contact info

For the first video, I’d ideally like to see a watermarked sample/concept first before moving forward with the final paid thumbnail. If it’s a good fit, I’d love to work together long-term.
