I own - Ostensia , a med/fan roleplay forum on Acornrack, and I'm looking for someone(s) who would want to pixel out the items that the members come up with. They can range from plants to swords and armor. I'm looking for smaller sizes, like 50x50, 64x64 but preferably not larger than 100x100. As for the style of the items, similar to Neopets, Subeta, Gaia, etc.
Basically we have a "Discover it, Name it, Own it" system where members come up with any time of item that does special stuff. An example of an item:
Heaven's Dew
Appearance: Heaven's Dew is a small, yellow herb with vivid red lines along the stem. It grows in clusters in damp, mild-tempered areas and requires a special fertilizer to gain its unique properties.
Properties: Heaven's Dew has the rare ability to increase the whispering talent of an individual by one degree. How long the increase works depends on the amount consumed. One ounce will last one week, two ounces two weeks, ect., the max being six weeks. Be warned in using this powerful drug, it is heavily addictive to both the mind and body. If used in secession for a minimum of four months the individual using it will become addicted. The effects are immediately and do not falter with prolong use.
Warnings: Withdrawals include seizures, heavy nausea, loss of appetite, and dry throat. Side effects include headache, slight nausea and toothaches.
As of right now no new pixel artists are needed, thanks!

I'm willing to work on a couple of said items, perhaps on a flat rate per item.
Could you please be more specific as to perhaps the style, size, or other various criteria for said items? As it is I'm imagining small icons of about 50x50 px size, possibly less, to represent said items.
Here is a sample of my most recent work (I recently reworked my style, so older work may not be indicative of my current level of skill):

And this is some pure pixel art:

Give me a list of stuff, I'll see what I can do, you tell me if you like it.

The style of items I'm thinking of is something similar to http://www.subeta.ws/images/items/weapon_luc_bell.gif - this , http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs32/f/2008/197/8/3/Pixel_Potions_set_2_by_LinaIvelle.png - this . or http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs25/f/2008/070/e/f/some_more_pixel_potions_by_RaytheDragon.gif - this . Hope that gives you a better idea on the style.
50x50 or something like 64x64 is good, they don't need to be large. Here are a few items if you wanted to try one. As for what I can offer, I wasn't looking to pay more than $5 per item. I don't have a lot to work with.
A small, simple glass box containing what appears to be glowing balls.
Each ball is a pale pink color but with different vibrant glows
around them. Upon closer inspection the balls are covered in a light
fuzz.
A very mythical lap harp that is said to summon unicorns to the user,
but no one has tried it. The harp's frame is made to look like two
unicorn horns and the strings look like they were from the mane of the
beast.
When blown, the horn of the banshee will temporarily immobilize
familiars. It is quite large and would be hard to hold up for very
long. A fierce and wicked looking horn, to be sure.

Sorry for my wide correspondence.
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that style. Very sorry. I do things closer to a KoF style. If anyone with a better style wants to step up, please go ahead of me.

I will, although does it matter if I deviate slightly from the style?
