A sexually transmitted infec... wait, no! An STI is a Spirit's Transmission Image. And what's one of them? Basically, it's just an image that can be used in roleplay transmissions, made by Spirit (myself). They're not flashy, not snazzy, and made with zero photoshop skill, but are cheap, freelancer-syled, and contain only 3% fat. There are two types of STI, the box, simply your image inside a freelancer styled border or the bar, a simple 'incomming transmission' style bar containing two images and some text, eg, your character's face, faction logo and name respectively. So, if you want one, but can't be bothered to screen-shot the corners, copy the background, build the frame and crop the image in place then you've come to the right place*.
* If you were looking for the other type of STI, just PM me.
LOOK AT SOME STIs
BOX STI's Here's a few examples of the box STIs, showing you the border, background and an assortment of the types of images that can be placed within. You may notice they're mostly just my characters for now, but once I've made some for other people, this showcase will contain the best images, be they funny, bizzare or mad, yours could wind up he. The largest image shows that it's not limited to just faces, logos and ships, you can even put a poster in a freelancer border.

As for the bar type, well, that's coming up next. It contains the two smaller box STIs displayed below it and makes for a great all round opening to a roleplay message. It's generic, and fits anyone from a doughnut eating LPI officer, to a cut-throat but hungry Corsair pirate, and even suits slimy froggy Gailic royalists. The 'transmission terminated' bar is non-customisable, but free and usable by everyone.

You just pick the picture you want to use, then have a look through the options, make your choices and fill out the quick and easy form. And how much will all this cost?

BOX SIZE The following sizes are available for box type STIs, and if you want a bar STI, then it contains two small (150x150) boxes as it is, so don't worry about this section. Just note that the image(s) you provide must be big enough for the size you want, or I will have to stretch it, and cannot be held responsible for any distortion.

IMAGE I will scale and crop all images into the border for you, making them fit as nicely as possible. With the deluxe option, I will shave the background off of your image for you, showing a blue freelancer background in it's place. Just note on this option to choose an image that has clear edges, as I reserve the right to decline the deluxe option for images that don't. If you're going for for the bar or package type and want the deluxe option, you only have to pay this extra price once.
PRO-TIP: Cut your own background out or pick a transparent image to get the deluxe option for standard pricing. -- Standard

Oh, one of the reasons I picked you for the first freebie (I've been looking for people who may be interested in free samples) is because your avatar was 141x141 and forum limit is 140, so it was 1 pixel to big...
But hey, glad you like, and as I said in my message, it's free, so no worries about credits...
EDIT: Oh, and I made an error in the message, it's not 8-10mil's worth, it's only 4-6mil's worth, I counted it up to siz, then forgot about it, and added on the two lots of 2 mil again, my bad... either way, glad you like...

But MSPaint said it was 140x140... it lies!
I know it's free, but I feel honor-bound to give you something. You WILL get something.
With my return to discovery and more time on my hands, I thought I'd reopen STIs, and to do so I'll be finding a few people over the next week or so to offer freebies to.
My pricing will be restructured, and I'll be offering basic transmission bars as well. They're nothing snazzy, but they're dirt cheap and look better than just plain text.
The first of my choice of freebies goes to Organic with his avatar. He's obviously not required to change it, but the offer has been made regardless. Here's a quick before and after:
