I'd like to do some drawings of flora and fauna and skeletal drawings, which I have some experience with from art/design school, though I'm about 15 years out of practice! Though I'm very picky with art and know how important it is to get people interested in the world and would rather not have any art than have art that's sub-par or not wholly representative of the world. To anyone interested the style I'd like for Elyden is something along the lines of John Blanche, Keith Thompson, Paolo Girardi, Brom or Zdzisław Beksiński, though that might be too jarring with the realistic maps.

It might be something you could 'farm out' if you garnered enough interest in the concept of your world. Attracting additional talent to work on illustrations would likely be a lot easier if you had something produced or solid to begin with (a periodical issue or two).
I've checked with some of my favourite artists and they're way out of our of my price range! Otherwise I was thinking of looking for an artist with an internet in the world who might be able to contribute something, though I understand that's unlikely!

I do like the idea of the periodical, or a pdf pamphlet or world guide that i can put up on my site for free for anyone interested. I have some maps that could work in that or try some sketches to pique interest
