I have commissioned an artist from deviantart and he has produced some pretty awesome work so far which I have published on my blog if you are interested. My plan is to have at least one full colour illustration per chapter which equates to around 50 images. I haven't really seen any examples of this being done before apart from the likes of the Lord of the Rings which had some pencil work if memory serves and a cool illustrated version of Alice in Wonderland. Does anyone have any good examples of illustrated novels that I should check out? I'm particularly keen to get ideas for layout as it's giving me a headache at the moment. Like should the image go at the beginning of the chapter or the end or somewhere in between? What do you folks think about this idea? I want to do something that makes the novel really stand out and I think this is a great way to go about it. It also gives me great satisfaction seeing someone else's visual interpretations of my words.
