jamie noble frier, The Noble Artist

Hi I’m Jamie!

I'm a fantasy artist with over a decade of professional experience and over 100 illustrated book covers. I'd love to discuss working with you.



Services I Offer

I offer an array of services for my publishing and author clients.

  • Book covers
  • Interior Illustration
  • Fantasy maps
  • Video trailers

I provide both black and white and full colour character designs, scenes and artefacts to help my clients illustrate their world. These illustrations are used as interior pieces and for supporting marketing artwork.

With their readers discovering new worlds, many fantasy authors find a fantasy map is integral to experiencing their novel.

To help launch and publicise novels I have worked on, my clients can request video trailers to catch the attention of their prospective readership on social media and television.


Hi Jamie here! Over the years of my career as a fantasy book cover artist, I’ve put together this really handy guide to commissioning your book cover. Inside it has tips on the process, how to write a great brief for your artist, where to print and how to effectively use your new book cover to market your novel. Grab yours now.

An example of a fantasy book cover design

A side by side of a fantasy book cover I made for author L.A. Thompson. After the initial composition sketch of scribbles and silhouettes, I have taken the book cover to the black and white sketch stage (left) and the colour and finish stage (right).

A quick summary of the fantasy illustration process

  • I receive the brief from the client, and discuss if needed
  • I tend to start with a very loose composition sketch
  • I show this to the client at this early stage to make sure any major changes are made before too much detail goes in
  • I take the sketch to a more rendered black and white version
  • Another round of feedback for minor tweaks
  • I begin to colour the illustration and finish
  • The client has a final round of feedback to check for any minor colour and detail tweaks
