MYOs/Adoptable bulshit
11 years ago
Commissions are: Open Okay so I understand getting a MYO or an adoptable and re-selling it for what you spent on them, fine thats cool. People who add on the price of all commissions of that character is cool. But people adding price for their OWN artwork they drew for that character is a no go. YOU did not spend money to get this drawing that YOU drew. You shouldn't be allowed to charge people for your drawings of your character because you didn't have to pay for it.
That is literally you making money off of selling your character. If you are gaining more money than you have spent on that character you are making money off of that character, its as simple as that.
The majority of adoptable artist rules state they don't want you making money off of their hard work.
If the Artists rules state that you can add the price of COMMISSIONS that doesn't mean add the "price" of YOUR OWN ARTWORK/S! So please if you are thinking of adding the price of your own art to the mix contact the Artist first (if their rules don't state it already clearly) if you can add your 'base commission' price. But don't assume your art (that you spent NO money on) counts as a commission. That's like adding money onto the price for free fanart...

Finally! I'm glad i'm not the only one to think this! I hate always seeing prices on adopt resells being jacked up super high because they've added in the cost of art they've made themselves. You're not losing any money drawing the adopt yourself, so why should someone else have to pay for it? And i mean, it doesn't matter if you're some super amazing well-known artist either, if you didn't pay for it then don't make others pay for it!

OP
Exactly! Its literally gaining money off of someone else's stuff. Because you can literally put ridiculous commission prices for your art - say $50 for a badly drawn that no one else would commission off of you because the price is too high.

Yes! So unfair!
