Is it possible to commission fan art of your fan fiction?

For those of us who aren't artistically inclined but would like to see art based on our fanfic, is there a website where you can contact artists to make that possible? I know it's a bit of an odd request and might strike some people as self-indulgent but I'm curious as to whether such a service exists.

There's no convenient way to go about it. Just advertise yourself on whatever site you use and hope for the best.

^Thanks. I figured it was unlikely there'd be a place you could go for it.

You can find artists that take comissions on deviantart and tumblr. There is also other art websites that artists will frequently allow comissions

^Do you know of any in particular that specialize in fan fiction?

There are a lot of artists that are willing to draw whatever you want just as long as you pay them. I know a lot of people in the Dragon Ball fandom that are offering commission, yet I can't buy them.

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.

I got all of my commissions (well most) from Fur Affinity. Granted, most of my stories revolve around animals, so that makes sense, but there are also quite a few artists good at humans too there.

[up][up][up]There is many that will draw stuff from fanfiction.

If you want an OC or a scene drawn I'd recommend writing the scene down with all the details or the OC and giving it to them. You can even give them reference images.

I have been meaning to look around for Yu Narukami (Persona 4) walking with a hoodie on.

I'm currently poking around on Deviant Art since there are artists who take free requests there.

[up] Well, the piece I have in mind is NSFW and it looks to me like you're more into family-friendly art. So no offense, but I think I'll keep looking. Thanks for your interest.

Ah. If it was MLP, I was gonna suggest a FIMFiction group made for getting art, but yeah, I'd say your best bet is to find a commissioning artist on Deviant Art.

If anyone has experience uploading images to AO 3, please let me know because I'm at a loss.

This Tumblr artist opens up for commissions a couple of times per year. I ended up commissioning this piece that now serves as my fic's FFN cover image.

P.s. In case anyone is curious, the fandoms are Darkest Dungeon and The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky.
