I might just upload if it wasn't Dropbox-only. I like the site and the commission.

Out of curiosity, what are your objections to Dropbox?

I should mention that it's not necessarily the only way the site will accept uploads in the future, but it happened to be the fastest, easiest and most inexpensive way for me to implement an uploading system for the initial launch. The decision to go with Dropbox wasn't completely about expedience, however, and I really do think the model of syncing to private folders on cloud drives offers significant advantages over traditional FTP and web form direct uploads.

do you accept all type of vectors or just toons?

Any style of vector art is welcome, not just cartoons. I'm working on a categorization system for browsing and for filtering search results. It's still mostly in the design and planning stage, but should help surface and separate different styles and subjects better when it's finished.

One quibble I would have is calling the license an 'End User License Agreement' since the buyer isn't really the end user, but rather a licensee who will use your product in another product for an end user. This might cause some confusion.

Good point - 'Royalty-Free License Agreement' or even just plain 'License Agreement' would be better, so I'll get that changed.

Very nice site, IMO.

Thanks!

Toon Vectors is a brand new microstock website for royalty-free vector graphics and clip-art. The website is comparatively minimal and simplistic at the moment, with its current set of features driven by the philosophy of a minimum viable product, but I have a number of enhancements and improvements planned for the near future. Constructive criticism is most welcome.

I recommend reading the FAQ and end-user / artist agreements linked below for more detailed information, but here are some highlights:

Fixed prices: $19.99 / $99.99 standard / extended royalty-free licenses
No buyer subscriptions - ala carte purchases only
70% artist commission on all sales
10% affiliate commission program
Payouts through PayPal or Moneybookers processed monthly, no minimum payout
EPS v8/10 uploads required
IPTC metadata extraction if an accompanying tagged JPEG is provided
Uploads handled through Dropbox
Based in Austin, TX
One employee currently (yours truly)

I'm going with an amusement park island full of dinosaurs...

Yurissac Park?

Seems like that would be an extravagantly expensive setup just for a photo shoot, but surely the resulting images will sell well.

I just recently created a website (still under some construction):

Toon Vectors
http://www.toonvectors.com/

Granted, it's not for *my* artwork since I am not a photographer nor an illustrator, but I suppose it qualifies and the OP gave a nice straight line for my first post here.

As far as a blog goes, I think I'm in the same boat as lisafx, with some doubt about how much I really have to say, but I did create some social networking profiles (Twitter, Facebook Page and Google+ Page) to hang off the website which could serve the same purpose.
