Summary
-Thank you
-Update of the shop
-Experience
-Discord Poject
-Suggestion for Adopt In Private note please
+For Open Specie suggestion
-After the 30 August for the old adopts
I wanted to let a message about what gonna happen next.
-Thank you
But first, i have to thank all of my customers who've invest their money into my works, even 1$ it was very helpful really.
You sacrificed a bit of your time spend to earn it into my products, it means a lot to me.
I know i've done mistakes during my time of work and i've learned from those to do better in the future.

-Update of the shop
I've decided to continue into selling adoptables, i've invested a part of this money into other artists for great bases to work on. I'm preparing a lot of different adoptables to avoid like before having same bases been used during one week.
There will be changing, based on the feedback i got during the period of my work, here an idea (not final):
Reduce the Starting Bid Price
Change the currency back to $
Simplify the auction system
More add-on already prepared
For Open specie: Warning about canon or non-canon
Proper credits for artist's base
Warning if it's an edited base
No 3+ sames base/specie sold per day, more diversity
Adopts post split during the day (using Postybirb)
More adopts per day

However i know i'll probably get in troubles with those changes, specially the "more adopts per day".
During my period of work, i often got some feedback that make my experience quite a bit stressful, it got worse now with the AI and the experience i got with my gallery been blocked on an other website.
The majority of the persons weren't meant to be agressive or even accusing.
But getting during transaction in private note message like:
"Wouah you're too fast !"
"Are you sure you work alone ?"
"That was quick."
etc
That's why some of you may see a change of when i give the work or wip, instead of immediate when done, it was 24-72h wait.
It was first surprising to get those feedbacks, because i just use the software, like it's not magic or anything...
Now it's scary when you hear stories of people getting cancel because they are not in the "average" and/or are "inconsistent" and falsy accused of using AI.
(For instance i do different shading for fun, but it can be seen as "inconsistent" and i wouldn't be surprised the admin thought i was using AI to create a shading for my work or something, I don't know, the admin didn't want to spend time to talk and want to end this quick so it's only assumption)
And from the experience i got, when the cancelling process start, every "attempt" to prove it's not AI are considered as "make up to keep using AI" or something.

-Discord Poject
So to protect myself i've decided to also work on a discord server, to store informations about how i works.
My Keyboard shortcuts, explaining how i use each button.
How i work to make my adoptables fast.
Maybe some tuto of shadings i've made etc.
The idea is to vulgarize a way to use Photoshop that's not AI, to reduce this bipolarize conclusion some may have based on ignorance (or lack of knoweldge on graphic software) on what is non-AI and what is AI.
But also to prove that's not magical or AI.
Sending messages will be disabled, cause it'll not meant to communicate to each other, just to have a server to stock informations that'll be accessible for all.

+For Open Specie suggestion - In Private note please
If there are some open specie you would want to see to be sold as adoptables:
Open Specie: Name
Artist's creator: page link
Specie info: page link
____
-After the 30 August for the old adopts
There are a lot left to sell, i'll probably sell them as gacha for 1$/each.
If people are interested to purchase and resell them for 5$ after, i'm TOTALLY FINE with it.
If it can help you to get your life a little better while getting mine a little better at the same time, it's a win-win for both.
I'll see.
.....................
I know there are some persons who tried to check on me when i've stopped working.
And i didn't want to talk about my private life nor my feelings.
For the simple reason that i'm just here to work, to do my best to respect T.O.S of everyone, not getting in trouble with any systems, stay clean.
I'm not here to make friends nor enemies, just to get enough to live and do my time, that's it.

I'll keep suggestion into a folder in my computer directly then.
(I've edited my journal so it is clear, my bad on that one don't worry)
So if you want to make more than one suggestion and bigged text, it'll be fine in private note.
I just answer it, so it is also visible for other people who may want to post suggestion.
Don't worry.
Just want to avoid having a GIANT suggestion be post as a comment haha.
Please be good to yourself 💜
