Rant: Character auctions
12 years ago
General
You know what's BULLLLSSHIIIT?
Character auctions.
Spending obscene amounts of money on characters you never use is so absurd, i have a friend who bought a character, but he never used it once in art or anything else (at least as far as i was aware, and i am fairly close to him).
The designs of the characters aucioned off are often lackluster. They never have any specific characteristic, they just have some rainbow coloured markings all over. It's seriously a 5 minute job coming up with the shitty design which you paid like $120 for. It's just a quick buck by greedy artists who feels YCH auctions weren't quick enough money, why buy a picture + intellectual property for a character without any recognizable factors or anything that would really make a difference to you as you just as might have come up with a character all on your own and pay an artist to draw your concept instead of fucking around with someones 5 minute design ideas.

Ah yes! Another artist who believes this! I can't believe YCH are a thing, especially when I've seen GREAT artists who do regular commissions do them! It's a cheap, lazy way of getting money for very little effort. Imagine If I wrote a full story, left all the character descriptions and names blank, THEN CHARGED 30 DOLLARS A CHARACTER. WTF?!
