Looking for artists

UPDATE: BOUNTY HAS BEEN FILLED

Yesterday I posted a different version of this article I kind of regret. Someone on Reddit blasted me for being a “choosy beggar” and it made me rethink my approach. In hindsight, my original post may have been in poor taste and tone deaf, so I'm going to try again.

Basically I’m looking for any artists that are willing to help me create a background image for my posts. I don't know what it would typically cost for such work, but I was hoping to get something for .5 BCH. I thought this was a way to contribute to the BCH economy as well as give back for the 1 BCH I won in the mythbusting contest held a month ago.

Below are five examples of the kind of artwork I’m looking for. Mainly I want something colorful and eye catching. Along with each picture I’ve also written some thoughts that may give you some ideas.

1. AKIRA: An idea might be instead of the iconic motorcycle from the Japanese animated movie, you could draw a hyper stylized picture of the BCH tank from a couple years back.

2. Year of the rat: Imagine a picture with this feel but instead of rats, it was honeybadgers.

3. HBO's Silicon Valley: A BCH centric version of the opening credits to this hilarious show would be cool.

4. Cowboy Bebop: Instead of Cowboy Bebop characters, an image of BCH people like Roger, Amaury, Jihan, or anyone else you think would be appropriate.

5. Futurama: I like the repeating Benders (the robot) in this image. You could do something similar but with Asic miners, or code monkeys, or something else you think of.

Anyway, that's it. I’m hoping there are some artists out there who can help. If you think .5 BCH is too little for this kind of work let me know that as well. I don’t know what’s the best approach to this so I’m open to ideas.

Thanks for reading.
