Why not check out some of the other websites and places Astra spends time and posts her work?
DeviantART is a well known and well loved community for the sharing of Art in all its forms. Astra mostly posts up her traditional drawings and digital paintings, but she's also posted up photos of her sewing craftsmanship - yes all done by hand (no machines) - and occassionally her shorter works of prose.
Etsy is an online store with interfaces for specific artists to sell their work. Here I have put up paintings, clothing items, cosplay accessories and plushies all hand-sewn in every detail for sale. This stock is always one of a kind, so be sure to keep an eye out for new items!
• Storytime with SAS ~
A blog on which a couple friends and I post our RolePlay in a readable format. Follow along our current co-written stories involving original worlds and characters!
Gaia Online is a great place to pick up commissions, as it generally has a wealth of people willing to pay imaginary gold for real art. And surprisingly it has a willing slew of artists who are willing to artistically pimp themselves out in order to collect tiny pixel items for their tiny pixel avatars. Astra is in fact one of these artists. Her username is Taro Rae, if you want to look her up.
Gaia Online is also a great interface for running your own little show. Aside from being able to post all manner of things in the forums, you can also set aside a little section of the site for Guilds. Astra's is called The Otherworlds, and aside from subhosting a horridly incomplete look at Ul-Zaorith, it also hosts the game of Astra's creation called Empyreans. 1 part text RP, 1 part tabletop RPG, 1 part original art, 1 part constantly evolving world and storyline. Check out the immensity that is Empyreans, and you'll get a good idea of the magnitude of detail that Astra puts into every story she creates.
