Selling this sketch from a rejected commission design. $5 would be good if you're interested. Good luck finding what you need!
If Hare hasn't bought that sketch then I'd love to @dracula

I like both. No restrictions on imaginations that way. ;)

I may have something for you depending on your prices, expertise and interest. I'll PM you sometime later today/tomorrow.

As a collector I would say it's another aspect to be able to enjoy a game with. If the items are usable as well then all the better.

...I'm not going to say that a professional artist shouldn't ever give things away for free.
However, I do agree that you should NEVER work for free. There is a difference.
A gift is one thing, but if you feel you are doing WORK, then CHARGE MONEY.^^This is incredibly important. I feel a lot of potential buyers believe that art isnt work, or that it's very easy and doesnt take long to do so shouldnt be paid for because 'the artist enjoys it' - At least a lot of the people I know think this - and that an artist can therefore 'just quickly throw some art' someones way for free/supercheap. It's especially difficult to convince people to pay good money for good art when it comes to digital art in my opinion.
Personally, as I'm still learning, I tend to do a lot of art to practice certain techniques or whatever and then (if I feel it's good enough) that is sometimes given away to my friends for free. When I do charge, it isnt anywhere near what a professional would/could charge but that is like any job in my opinion. What you charge is directly related to your skill level.
I also dont have a problem working for free for a short time on something new given that that means more practice for me and a possible job down the road. It's like an apprenticeship or work experience. Lastly, I also work for (sort of) free if I'm going to get another benefit that would have cost me money to obtain.
As I say though, I do believe that different skill levels have different 'rules'.
