John decided he wanted to be on this banner and help me run the shop here as well.
Who am I to argue with a giant leviathan? o.O

'lo, all! I'm fairly new here to Magi Stream and I must say I love it here so far. Only thing is, since I'm new, I don't have any of the older donation creatures! This causes a problem. I'm your typical 'starving artist', see. That is to say I don't have tons of money to donate to the site. I wish I did.

I'm a 33 year old cartoon illustrator with certs in Flash and PhotoShop, graduated from art & graphics colleges and with some published work under her belt. I just love sites like this, and I can't stand not having all the lovely little critters. XD

My solution is to make gold & creatures by hawking what little skill I possess - as I usually do, you may have seen me on various other sites before -- and to that end, here's my art shop! The previews and such will all say "air-lobster.com" on them, because that's my art website. I tag everything I can in some way.

I'm going through some rough times with my menopause and illnesses that I have, so I have to politely mention that this isn't a critique thread. I don't desire crits, I'm only asking for what folks want from me if they would like to order. I appreciate this a whole ton, thanks!

Hugs & Furballs,

This used to have samples up on it but since I've done some commissions now you can just go to "completed commissions" and peek at those, or what's in the spoilers in quotes below.

SAVE ALL IMAGES IF YOU WANT THEM TO YOUR OWN SERVER OR PHOTO HOSTING WEBSITE.

Please don't hotlink to air-lobster.com as I can't host everyone's images, and TinyPic seems to be having colossal problems lately in hosting images. Be warned, play it safe and save to your own drive(s). I'll have the original always, but the avs I host on free services and they're unreliable. xD

Let's try this. See, on my site I get $20 for a full body commission and I'd like to be able to get the creatures here for a piece of art (donation pets, etc). Paying a donation pet means you're getting what would normally be a $20 piece for $2, $3, or $5. Cheap, right?

PRICES ARE FOR SINGLE CHARACTERS. Adding another will cost slightly more :3

Avatars (head shots) & small cartoons: 5k

Simple little 'toons, quick shaded with no bells or whistles are my specialty :3 You can have an avatar or button made for free with these, just ask.

- - - -

Banners/buttons: 500 *if I use a graphic you provide.

Small button using artwork I did, for 5k (simple cartoon) you also get the larger image.


500g sample of art provided (using a MagiStream gif for example).


MagiStream sized Avatar of art ordered (free if you order anything).

If you don't provide the graphic you'll be paying for a "small cartoon (5k)" in reality, since I have to draw the image first then shrink it down.

Waist Up or simple character: 15k or mid-month donation pet (2 shard).

I take more time and put more detail into donation pet offers, as well as accept more complicated waist-up details. You'll notice the difference in shading and, well, detail. LOL.

Full Portrait or complicated character: 30k or donation pet (3 or 5 shard)

*complicated donation pet samples

More detail, full body length and these can even come with a background and PhotoShop-painted detail and shadowing if you pay with a donation pet.

Personalized Flash Dressup Game

Samples: X . X . X

...uncertain about a price for these, I'd do it for anything "big" on my wanted list, though. These take hours & hours to do and are hosted off my site. I could be bribed with any combination of gold and/or past donation pets. Try me. :3

Just a note...

Elly is not a pixel artist. The best she's been able to do so far are ultra "tiny" pixel works and she does not sprite.

I'm not going to demand an order form from you seeing as I sometimes don't like them myself. But if you'd like (and to give you a guideline as to what is expected if you wish to request), here is one. If you choose to use it, that's cool. But don't feel forced to.
