About Me

My name is Tom, I'm a freelance illustrator and concept artist living in the UK.

I studied graphic design at college, and then game art and design at De Montfort University. After my studies, I was hired as a concept artist at Codemasters, a UK based games company. I worked on marketing artwork and concept art for racing and mobile games. My real passion is sci-fi and fantasy art.

I formed Tom Edwards Design in early 2015 after leaving Codemasters. My aim is to produce the highest quality artwork for clients, whatever the subject or genre. Most of my work to date has been for science fiction and fantasy book covers, and I’ve also worked on mobile games, board games, and RPGs. Please take a look through my work galleries, and if you’re looking for a professional approach and a final product worthy of your project, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Hundreds of authors have trusted me with their vision, here are a few...

Ralph Kern

"Tom is simply the best cover artist working in the business today. He has gained a reputation, and a following, for creating the most beautiful and eye-catching covers - Just what authors want, and what readers seek. Not only is his end-product excellent, but he is a pleasure to work with. He shows an amazing ability to not only translate briefs into exactly what is envisaged but also gives a cover designer mindset, to ensure it looks great on both screen and print."

Michael Chatfield - Author of the Free Fleet series

"Working with Tom was a blast. Not only does he create incredible pieces of art. He was on time, professional, and kept me in the constant loop on the state of the pieces he was working on. I would suggest Tom to any and all authors looking to work with a consummate professional who will take their covers to the next level."

James L. Davis

"Working with Tom Edwards was an absolute delight. I could not be happier with the illustrations he created for my series. I knew in my mind's eye the world I imagined with words, but the process of working with Tom, and watching him bring my vision (and more) visually to life has been extraordinary. I could think of no one I would recommend more enthusiastically than Tom Edwards Design."

Henry Roberts

"The work of Mr. Edwards is truly remarkable. Not only did he work precisely as he said he would, on time and to specifications, but he was also very easy to work with. He never complained about my nit-picking, never objected to having issues pointed out, and always fixed them quickly and with flare. All I had to do was give him a sketch, some parameters and he brought my idea to life. His pictures are fantastically detailed. I found myself just staring at the covers he made for me, and the longer I did, the more detail I picked up, it was truly a fantastic experience, a great thing to see. I would actually recommend him to struggling authors out there, or those suffering from writer's block. Give him your details, let him draw something for you, you'll find yourself suddenly able to write again. Thanks very much, Mr. Edwards, you are fantastic!"

Stephen Cafmeyer

"Working with Tom was a delight and pleasure. I got everything I wanted. The cover looks jaw-dropping. Watching the cover take shape as we worked together to craft our vision was an awesome experience. I liked it so much that I intend to work with Tom Edwards again. If you're looking for the cover that your book deserves, Tom's your guy."

Nick Webb

"Who's the best SFF cover artist working today? Tom Edwards, hands down. At any given time you'll see his art all over the best sellers list, and for good reason: his art is stunning, eye-catching, and beautiful. After I've put hundreds of hours into writing a book I want only the most jaw-dropping art for my cover, and inevitably, it's Tom I turn to."
