ISO Artist to do some artwork for my novel

[LongDraw]

So lets start with the obvious, the novel. Titled VY, is about an engineered viral pandemic that targets and kills males only and leaves only about 2,000 men alive once 100% exposure is achieved. There is an original pre-edit version available on Literotica, but only I and Volunteer Editor Phil Anderer have the most current version. I can provide a copy if someone expresses interest and is willing and able to create the style of artwork desired.

I've been envisioning either B/W or greyscale images where the reader isn't necessarily supposed to identify a specific character from the story for the chapter headings. For the book cover, I desire a high-res, full color image, a strand of DNA forming a circle, with a tree in the center that resembles a capital Y, the branches and leaves of which extend to touch the strands of DNA.

I will email you samples representative of what I am looking for if you are interested.

I can't pay you directly as I've been disabled from work for past 2 years. I can offer the following one or more of options though:

1. Mention of name or pen name at beginning of book for artwork contributed
2. 50% ownership of artwork contributed and used in book
3. TBD percentage stake in book proceeds

So I didn't receive any responses to my prior request, so I tried to do some work on the cover art. It is really rough and indicative of my significant lack of artistic eye, but hopefully it communicates what I am seeking to accomplish if someone can please help.

Maybe you have a more ideal image to use. Maybe you have no need for an image because you can render it digitally more easily. I don't know. I'm not a professional artist. All I know is I'd like to produce something pleasing to someone who picks up the book one day.

I'm going to attach two sample images for reference. Hopefully someone responds.
