CAST IN THE NAME OF GOD
Now I've been doing Adopts for like....
A year now? or close to it...hm....Anywho. I wanna ask you guys some stuff as feed back
____________________________________
How many times a month would ya like to seem me put up Adopts?
What would ya like to see more of?
Want me to continue with the stacked paystyle? [i.e. when you buy the 30, you get the 20 as well, I need to know because I'd have to raise the price a bit.]
Want me to do a tiered paystyle? [i.e. You get what you pay for, 20 option just gets you that.]
More themed adopt sheets?
Something more risque~?
How many do ya want per page?
___________________________________
even if you're fine with whatever, please take the time to do this for me anyway
it really helps.
many thanks!

You draw some awesome monsters & bots, seeing some more of those would be pretty nice.
A tiered pay style would probably save you a lot of grief in the long tun.
I'd prefer you put out adopts as often as you feel comfortable with, if that makes sense. Like if you only have time to do it once or twice a month, that is fine. Don't overwork yourself there. I've seen a lot of artists get burnt out on adopts.
I think it would be good if you made your batches smaller/easier to read visually. For me when you have a bunch of adopts on a page that I can't really make out the details of, that makes me not want to buy the character because I don't know what I am getting. Similarly having adopts that are of mixed sizes on the sheet makes it easier to focus on what I can see, and then I ignore the adopts I can't see quite as well. An example of that would be this sheet here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13043886/ I focus on Donna and especially Jammy for their larger size and Jammy's movement, so Einhardt while he clearly has a lot of detail, gets lost because of the smaller size, the details getting muddled from the small size, and less vibrant pose. So I have considered buying Einhardt because of his dreads, but at that size I don't know what is going on with his eyes or arms. If he matched the size of the others next to him it might be easier to tell. That doesn't mean you have to post everything at full res that you have (in fact, it might be good if you said when people bought the adopt they can get the full size from you, since I don't think that is explicitly stated), but just consistency might be good.
For designs I would like to see more of, I like your monster people. Designs that come to mind that I liked in that vein are Ol' King Kobold, Merah, Yasakani & Musokani, Aoi, and Ch'thera, so I'd be down with more adopts in that vein. I've also said I wouldn't mind seeing more multi-headed, multi-limbed, or multi-tailed adopts from you, or even some ferals or taurs. Similarly I like how you draw dragon and bird critters... just I know I am the worst at using those kinds of design so I don't buy them. >_>;; I like you semi-fantastic anthro people as well, such as Ellis, Claude, Zynosuke, Josephine. I also enjoy your J series robots, although if you posted more of the lore about them that would be cool too. On that note, I think you have a lot of ideas for your adopts that you talk about in stream, but if you don't attend a stream you would have no idea that was the case. Perhaps if you posted your thoughts about your adopts (such as Giamaria being a slow moving creature with much delayed reactions) that would also entice some people into buying. I know I at least like knowing what you were thinking when you made a design or what your intent was.
From our past conversations I think you know that the stacked paystyle confused the fuck out of me. :P I'm fine with you keeping it but you might want to explain it better, and I am ok with you raising your prices. Or you could make it an optional add-on. Like tier 1 is the adopt as is (with fullsize file perhaps? :P), tier 2 is the no input piece, tier 3 is the mini-ref, tier 4 is the mini-ref PLUS no input piece, etc. Or some variant of that, I'm just spitballing ideas here.
I really like that your adopts are so diverse, be it in body type, size, setting or species. So keep up with that. I'm personally not down with you making ones that are more risque, but that's just me. IDK if any of this helps. I guess I just have a lot of thoughts on adopts. >_>
