Ru-made adopts? that would be interesting.

I think I made 12 so far, im not to sure how much but not a lot.

Tbh I like adoptables and YCH everyone says they're not classy or that they're a waste of skill and talent, but I like them because it's combining your thinking process and any one who feels like bidding. Sometimes it can get tiring to draw someone's character how they want so it's nice to draw something that you thought of but are using someone else's characters. I think they're cute as heck. Adoptables are okay, sometimes, depending on the lineart I don't like them. Especially if they pump out a ton of characters constantly using the lineart over and over again or if the designs arent even unique or fun they just look like half assed markings. Some adoptables are cool some just seem like something for a quick buck with not much thought process or care into what they're designing.

So $7 to enter a raffle? Can you explain a bit more? :3 I love your art it's like mega ultra amazing

Ah. I believe I understand :3

Commissions are generally better :3

commissions <33
Freebies are fine if you're comfortable with them.

But theres nothing wrong with adoptables <33

honestly i haven't really seem too much of an imbalance in your submissions to actually be bothered by ych or adopts or anything :S

Raffles are good.
YCH can be lazy at times.
Adoptables should really be exclusives and not common.

YCHs are fantastic. It's really helpful when your usual answer to "What kind of a pose are you looking for?" is to stare blankly.
Auctions? Not so much. There's always - ALWAYS - one guy with a trust fund...

I'm all tapped out as far as adoptables go. I have more now than I know what to do with already. As for YCHs, I can tell by your awesome skills, and based on how many people like your stuff; that the bids are going to skyrocket higher than I'm willing to pay for a drawing, so I think it's safe to say I won't be participating in those, but if you need the money, that's a good way to go. Seems like some people on this site have disposable incomes.

Commishes definitely are my vote for the best thing but don't let some people not liking YCH's hold u back. They can be really cool and you get to make it look how you want, they usually bring in good money, go for it.

From what I've seen thus far, a good blend of adoptables and YCHs with set commissions is the way to go.

When doing the adoptables and YCHs, it helps to be original and creative. I.e., don't reuse YCHs, at least not often, and don't make adoptables a palette swap thing.

I dont like auction, unless if its for something special like i dunno helping for a familly member of the artist who have i dunno...need for medical treatment.

I prefer set price, comission is the best, their is no greed or anything, you ask for a prize, people request you, and thats fine.

Freebie realy depend on how you feel, do some if you want but dont do to much too cause comission take time.



To finish this, the only time i see a ¨auction¨ that is nice and for any particular reason, its the kind that you ask for i dunno 1-5$ each month on your followers, at the end of the month a random contributor get an art, the best you can do

I like adoptables more personally because I liek gettign a character. and fleshing them out =w=. heh but I could never hope to even afford a fractionof wha tyou do. just do wha tyou think is best.

To be avoided unless you have an awesome idea that you need additional people for.

Whatever makes you the most money is what im for.
But, whatever you wanna do, I'd be cool with ~

I personally would love a raffle

call me crazy but I think YCHs are lazy... and I have no desire for an adoptable because I don't want a character that isn't my own creation, you know?

I don't like the idea of adoptable for two reasons. I think people should come up with the idea of their character themselves for maximum creativity. The second reason I dislike is that people have been grabbing line art from people ,re coloring it and attempting to sell that. I feel as if the creativity in artwork is decreasing because of it.

YCH I think are acceptable because the position and characters still have to be drawn from scratch,

Raffles and YCH I think would be best.

I like adopts, I have no problem with artists making them or making them myself, as long as they are not identical and re-used 50 times. (I.e., abused) I feel you can re-use an identical base 3-4 times, and if you are changing the hair and/or tail or clothes or what have you, as many times as you like.

Adoptables give the artist the opportunity to sell what they actually feel inspired to make, instead of always being forced to draw other people's overly specific characters. I'll sometimes even sell a fully rendered unique piece of work, as I have no attachment to the character, was able to paint whatever I wanted, and still was able to make money for it.

That's just my two cents.

Also I'll point out that many people do not find themselves especially inspired at making their own unique characters up on their own. I've known many people who don't know what they want until they see it. It's entirely possible to get very excited and inspired about a unique pre-made character you see. I've had several people write stories and commission artwork and even make their fursona from a purchased character.

I think the assumption that letting a really creative person (an artist) design your character for you is somehow "uncreative" is a really silly notion.

From a artists point of view I see the financial lure of adoptables. One character slight color change, maximum profit. Never seen one I'd be ever interested in buying. But will never fault a artist for doing such, if there is a market for it do it. Now YCH is better. Less control over the piece but generally I've seen its cheaper? than piece of equal work. Given the option between the two I'd pick YCH over a adoptable any day as a customer.

I only think YCH auctions are worth it if the artist only does them in either rare occasions(Since artist seem to spam them for money now, when its really just a pre-posed commission at this point,.) or the artist is constantly booked on commissions, that its a good chance to get art from that artist. You have AMAZING Talent, and could do YCH auctions well enough. As for adoptables, you're characters are so cute~! I'm pretty sure a lot of people wouldn't mind having the chance to get an addition of something similar~. Commissions are easily under priced and overpriced. Get a vibe from everyone to find a good range for where you should price. I think doing commission lists, occasional YCH's, and rarely putting up adoptables would not only increase popularity, but keep a steady income, and even rising income as time passes. Its up to you how you do it, but this is only one watchers opinion. Use it as you will and keep up the good work~!

I concur.

Do it however you would prefer. You're the artist.

Opening commissions is a wonderful idea. YCH are becoming a norm that should not be adopted. It's been explained to me that artists like them, because they get to do something they like for once, however they tend to be seen by a vocal minority as a money grab. They need to be something on a rare occasion, because ultimately what goes on is the buyer is paying for something that the artist wanted to do, but the buyer is more or less fine with this idea. Personally, I want to see my own writings come to life, so I do not wish to pay for a pleasant compromise. There are specific ideas that I wish to see alive in a certain artist's style that only their style could justify.
