Artist's Comments
Birthstones are a fad in Korea lately, so my bosses asked for items themed as such. This is the March birthstone, the Aquamarine..
 A bit about this stone I got from the net: From the light blue of the sky to the deep blue of the sea, aquamarines shine over an extraordinarily beautiful range of mainly light blue colours. Aquamarine is a fascinatingly beautiful gemstone. Women the world over love it for its fine blue shades which can complement almost any skin or eye colour, and creative gemstone designers are inspired by it as they are by hardly any other gem, which enables them to create new artistic cuts again and again. Its light blue arouses feelings of sympathy, trust, harmony and friendship. Good feelings. Feelings which are based on mutuality and which prove their worth in lasting relationships. The blue of aquamarine is a divine, eternal colour, because it is the colour of the sky. However, aquamarine blue is also the colour of water with its life-giving force. And aquamarine really does seem to have captured the lucid blue of the oceans. No wonder, when you consider that according to the saga it originated in the treasure chest of fabulous mermaids, and has, since ancient times, been regarded as the sailors' lucky stone. Its name is derived from the Latin aqua (water) and mare (sea). It is said that its strengths are developed to their best advantage when it is placed in water which is bathed in sunlight. However, it is surely better still to wear aquamarine, since according to the old traditions this promises a happy marriage and is said to bring the woman who wears it joy and wealth into the bargain. An ideal gem, not only for loving and married couples. - - - i hope it's not overdone or something  |

aww i wish i could do pixel art for a living too!
Hmm, i'm working for a Korean company, and we do these for a children's website (similar to Gaia Online, but not entirely the same). The first time I knew about it, it sounded wierd, but they pay for pixel arts. You're familiar with dolling, right? They PAY to play that online. Well, I've done dolls too, and now I'm doing the "rooms" for those dolls.
With help from a Korean-speaking peep, I guess you can look for a job like mine easily. (Or you can always go to Korea and work there
