Art RequestS (or help)

[PuppyChow]

So I'm making a series based around "____ Being" | "____ Beast" that would focus on attack/health and sometimes a skill that captures the essence of an element. Yes, we already have nymphs, but nymphs just embody spell cards that embody elements (in some ways), while these would simply embody elements.

For an example and the first card in the series:
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7383.0.html

Now here's what I need:
-Art for all of the following.
  : Aqueous Being | Aqueous Beast***
  : Graviton Being | Graviton Beast**
  : Permian Being | Permian Beast*
  : Scorching Being | Scorching Beast*
  : Vigorous Being | Vigorous Beast*
  : Enchanted Being | Enchanted Beast****
  : Aethic Being | Aethic Beast*
  : Floating Being | Floating Beast****
  : Sinister Being | Sinister Beast*
  : Noxious Being | Noxious Beast*
  : Stony Being | Stony Beast****

* Name is tentative and subject to change
** May also be Gravital
*** May also be Hydrogenous or Liquid
**** Name was just made up right now
(The names shouldn't matter).

I also have abilities made up for most of them. But the problem comes with the artwork (I have NO experience with photo shop or artsy crafty stuff ). You have two options:

a) Find artwork for them.
b) Explain to me how to change background colors AND foreground colors and then make it look good. Note that I have no adobe software other than PhotoDeluxe Buisness Edition (I don't know why I have that). Not even photo shop. I can use pixlr though .

The cards that I REALLY want artwork for right now are the Permian Being/Beast and the Vigorous Being/Beast.

Finally, I know I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but the art is preferably clouded with something resembling a human being for the unupped (though distorted) and something resembling an odd creature or something for upped (or just the unupped distorted even more).

Thanks . Those will be great for all of the "beasts," at least as a basic picture. Still need art for all the beings though.

That looks great! But the problem is I know I would screw up coloring it XD. Like I said, on a scale of 1-10, my artistic skills are a 1. Stick figures are practically my extent >_>.

Since I have those pictures $$$man posted, I really don't need it, but it looks like that would turn out a much better choice for the Permian Being/Beast. So if you have the extra time it'd be great.

Where you staring at peanuts when you drew this?

[Krava]

yeah, it does resemble peanuts

imagine it glowing

Also had some time during meeting today to sketch some beasts! Still no time to color

lifebeast ans earthbeast,

[PuppyChow]

Those are again great, but again, needz moar colorz. I can't use them until then .

On another note, I have some beasts set up, but am still looking for a picture I can use for beings.
