Okay, I feel really awkward doing this, but here goes.

I've currently spent hundreds of hours making card art for Elements the Game, both pieces you see in the game and images for custom card ideas. For this, I've received no money, no cards, no electrum. It's been something I've done for free. However, it's become quite apparent that it's not a financially justifiable course of action to do this, as I've been struggling to pay even the bill for hosting my portfolio's server. That's why I started this thread, asking the Elements community if they'll help me out a bit - and get a bunch of art in return.

I've set up a Paypal donations account, and you're free to donate to it (or not to). How much you want to donate doesn't really matter, I'm happy with every little bit. You can do it anonymously, or personalize it with a message. If you want a specific piece of art made, or redone, feel free to mention it in there and I'll definitely try my best to do it! If you want something for your own card idea, that's fine too, though anything made directly for the game will obviously take priority.

I think that's it. If you have any questions, please do ask.



Donate link removed. Portfolio site has gone dark. Thank you so much to all who helped .

To those that donated; thank you. Looks like I've got some more time to spend around here. ;D

Just as a general headsup; my PC had to be sent halfway across the country for warranty services. This means I temporarily can't do a lot of artwork, but I didn't disappear and certainly don't intend to!

I also agreed with Jenkar that if I reach 15 donators, I'll write a little blurb on the wiki about every piece I've got ingame. : )

It's been almost two months and still my PC hasn't been properly fixed. I'd like to remind people I'm still planning on making more stuff, but alas; the lack of a functional PC makes it hard.

Is there any update about meeting your immediate goal or not? I always wonder if the elements community as a whole is getting enough funds to continue.

If by that you mean the 15 donators; I'm a third of the way there.

Vrt, if it's not asking too much, I'm curious how much cashola your donation goal is. (Said goal, I assume, is the cost of hosting your online portfolio?)

There's really no specific goal, though keeping my (and soon pepo's) portfolio online is one of the major goals. Next to that; every little bit helps us make rent. :)

If I had a million dollars, I'd send a few thousand your way, because your artwork TOTALLY ROCKS!... sadly I don't have even 1% of that (or even .1% right now... just paid rent myself)... :( ... but for every shard I buy I'll make a matching donation your way. Granted I can only afford one or two every couple months, but I still have a lot to collect so hopefully the slow trickle will help.
Keep up the awesome work!

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?

Well, I finally reached fifteen donators, so there's now a little 'Artist's Comments' on every card I made on the Wiki! Just lookie here! Special credit for Jenkar for the help <3
