I was thinking about setting up a little shop where people could buy custom cross stitch pieces of their dragons or familiars. I would be taking the site art and converting it into a pattern to work from. Customers would be charged based on materials used and time spent working on the physical product itself (plus shipping), not based on the original art. Would this violate the site's rules, or would it be okay?

@TheOtherShoe i'm not familiar with cross-stitch at all, but it sounds like what you're doing still involves FR art/copyright (the pattern would still look like the dragon/familiar, yes?), which would mean you could only sell five pieces per the [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=81]Terms of Use[/url]:
