Daniel Schmelling

“Daniel is fast, good, and professional. I hired him for all three covers of my main series as well as recovering the original book 1 art done by someone else. The fan reaction to his covers has been enthusiastic and spot-on with the audience we wanted to court.”

Rachel Aaron / Travis Bach - Forever Fantasy Online - Last Bastion

“Daniel has been great to work with, and very attentive to my ideas. He has done an amazing job giving me a cover that will turn heads, and I believe it's the perfect face to represent my novel. Daniel not only was easy to work with, but very informative as well. If I ever had a question he was ready with an answer. I highly intend to work with him again in the future!”

T. A. Bruno - In The Orbit Of Sirens

“From the fonts he used, to the photo-realism I sought for my Sci-Fi Thriller book cover, Daniel met or exceeded my expectations. I look forward to working with him for my entire series.”

Brian H. Roberts - Crimson Lucre

“This is my second collaboration with Daniel and it's been amazing see what he can bring a described vision through illustration. After our first cover art appointment, I had such a great experience and admired Daniel's cover art so much, that I asked for a stand alone illustration depicting a location in my fantasy world. The results, again, are pretty spectacular. I look forward to keeping discussions and future projects open with Daniel!”

John Malone - A Sanctum Of Swords

Since 2018 I do book covers for various authors in the genre of Science Fiction and Fantasy.

First doing cover art only and then over time extending my skills further to e-book / paperback cover art and cover lettering, layout design and typography.

Looking ahead, I want to break into new book genres like Poetry, Horror, Crime, Thriller and Mystery, to be able to offer my clients more possibilities.

I am based in Germany so my design skills can be offered in both German(native) and English(fluent).

I look forward to your projects!

Cheers,

Daniel
