Adoptables & Glasses
10 years ago
General
Weird combo, right? I've been out a new prescription for glasses a good two and a half years over the suggested two year mark, went in recently to get it filled, and it seems it was just in the nick of time, too. This last week has been killer for eye strain in front of the computer. What's worse, I think I'm not only dealing with that, but this horrible mutated flu working its way through people I know. On the plus side, my body's fighting it off before it can really take root, but I'm achey, headachey and prone to nausea from basically anything that moves too fast.
So that ruled out all my good times Skyrim binging-- sad day.
Anyways, glasses should arrive today sometime, which means I'll be back to posting art (albeit slowly, I'm working on two relatively large YCH wins, so it may just be the occasional progress shot) HOWEVER, while browsing FA for adoptables, I noticed an obscene lack of hyper masculine male types (which is sort of my bag, I like those hunkier looking boys) while trying to find something to suit my tastes and enable my own personal laziness, lol oops.
Anyways, what's the deal? Is there just not as large of a market for the truly MANRY adoptables, is it more of a ladies market, femboy, etc?
I'm genuinely curious here, this is sort of research in the event I want to introduce adoptables in the coming weeks.
And one more thing, what sort of adoptables do you prefer? (if any at all) Let me know in a comment!

FA+

let along the free sort. So, given the amount of people who tend to make their adoptables
by means of guess, I think that would be one reason. /=It does also seem to be a lady
and femboy market, but from an insider perspective, the fujoshi arena is growing to love a
man with musculature.
I like cute and/or floofy humanoid or furry adoptables, usually, but I'm most likely to buy
them if they're male. o xo I rarely play female characters, and it always makes me sad
to let a sweet design gather dust. I like adoptables with glowy bits, too. > w> Or the
ones that are simple or chibish in a way that makes their gender up for debate! C:
I saw a few that I might have considered, had they been from the original artist. I'm not sure I could ever design and sell pay-per or pay-to use bases, it seems like it could get so messy, and awfully quickly. It's right up there with the whole reposting art you have from an artist you commissioned. 9 times out of 10, the reposts get more comments and more favorites than the original, it's like a slight to the actual artist.
BUT THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER THING.
I may test the waters with a manry man set at some point.
Also I agree, having browsed the same adoptable scene as you for a few days I learned the hard way that people just don't make manly men adoptables.
The world needs more manly men, lord knows I'd buy them.
I ONLY HAVE ONE MANLY MANMAN
I NEED MORE
