any digital artists wanna take a crack at a project?

[PhillyB]

For obvious reasons I'm broke as hell, but I am willing to pay a small fee and/or art credit in the acknowledgements if someone can design my book cover for me (or at least part of it.) I'm launching an epic historical fiction novel in about a week and this is the final step in the process.

I need something as close to the following image as possible. I really just need the atmospheric gradient, with the dark silhouetted skyline about a quarter of the way down the page, with a yellow-to-orange-to-black scale, with that heavy smoke style texture in the background. None of the soldiers - just the landscape. Post any samples here and I can PM for any file transfers and we can talk compensation if I go with yours. Thanks everyone!

oooh very nice composition. any way to get the atmospheric effects a bit more photographic? the original has a great billowing, fiery quality to the lighting at the horizon. the darkness needs to pervade a bit more too up top.

can you flip the image so the rise in terrain sits to the right of the scene and sort of levels off? and possibly raise that horizon line about 10% higher up the page
