So... my first attempt at adoptables didn't work...
3 months ago
Well, this batch of Macho Men adopts didn’t really gain the traction I hoped for - and that’s okay. Not everything creative hits the mark, and I’m trying to look at this whole experience as part of the creative process rather than a full failure.
There is always more to learn & ways to get better.
I still really like the designs I came up with, so I won’t be letting them go to waste. I’m planning to either flesh them out with their own stories or weave them into my existing series. Sometimes, characters need the right context to shine. These guys still have potential - just not as adoptables.
Creating characters is something I love doing, and despite the lack of interest this time, it hasn’t discouraged me. If anything, it's a learning experience. I might try again down the line with a new batch, once I’ve had time to reflect on what didn’t quite land this time around.
It might have been the designs themselves, the way I presented them, or just bad timing on my part. If you have any constructive feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m always looking to grow and improve, and an outside perspective could help me see things I might have missed.

I confess I'm not much big on the whole concept of adoptables, I've never had problems comming up with my own characters. Maybe as a writer you could offer something like custom "scene snippets"? Like developting a prompt someone asks for like "my character getting a sneaky handjob"
So, I'll consider adding more "snippet" or "sample scenes" tailored to the style of characters I'm attempting to adopt out. I will be trying again at some point.
