Well, I'm an illustrator and I prefer "artwork" to pure microstock subjects. I find very well on SS but I'm also looking for a place that is interesting expecially in illustrations. I think that IS doesn't love this kind of work. I put some works here to give you an example, I think that they're good works but it isn't the kind of work that IS is waiting for. They prefer a simple paper with a frame...may be a frame...may be, isn't it?
I'd like center myself on shutterstock and on another site that is interesting in illustration...only, I don't know what! I see a lot of links here, is there a microstock more oriented than others on "artistic" illustrations?
To give you same example:







p.s. Always sorry for my english
