I will note some communities are a little weaboo driven and you shouldn't expect either expertise nor a lot of fact based truths... Vocaloid Otaku even when it was active despite being a good source of die-hard vocaloid fans who knew their stuff spawned many of the great myths from Vocaloid2, especially about English vocaloid such as "Luka Japanese doing better English then Luka English".

But in regards to illustrations, there are several I once knew who do cover art for free that aren't vocaloid related. All an artist needs is a picture, commission details and even free artists will do artwork. So don't just restrict yourself to Vocaloid forums, there are places even on Deviantart who will do things for nothing, or cheap commission at worst.
