Seeking advice about adoptables!
10 years ago
Heyo! This is a topic I never thought I'd touch since I don't draw but here's the story:
When I get a booth at local conventions I go as a big collab group called Hybrid Craft that consists of 7 artists that draw and me with my plushies.
We have a BIG BIG convention planned for November but the organization of the con doubled their prices since last time, we miscalculated and we're short on the cash for the booth reservation.
Sooooo, they were thinking about making adoptables to sell between all the artists to gather the funds for our booth. or atleast reduce the amount everyone has to put from their pockets.
Finally, what I wanna ask YOU random watcher is:
What do you think about adoptables in general?
Do you prefer straight sales or auctions?
Would you be interested in buying an adoptable with a pack of art by each of the artists in my group?
And do you think adding a small plushie to the pack is neato? :P
If you have any idea, specific race you'd like to see, colors, theme, hybrids or whatever you wanna tell me, please do so cause im an adoptable noob! :)
I think a pack would be really cool like... you each draw a picture and you make a little plushie for them.
Felines and canines go off really well. So do ponies and pokemon.
I'd love to see unique species! Like tapirs and Rhinos <3
We think the pack is interesting, each one has really different styles but we gotta see if everyone is comfortable drawing furries.
So maybe not all 8 will participate, I think we'll also do it on deviantart so maybe we'll have human adoptable/OCs too xD
Right now, at least me im thinking on cute dino hybrids, like bat+dino or red panda+dino xD
I've seen tapirs lately, there's a chibi tapir base around so I saw a few of those :O
But also like sloths, lobsters, Seahorse, Leafy sea dragons... Stiff like that. Where you don't see them a lot.
Dinos would be AWESOME!
A bat+Dino? Yes please~
Sloths sound interesting ♥
The first adopt is a cutey mouse gal xD
1) I prefer straight sales.
2) I would love the idea of an optional pack of adoptables. Like, if I were to buy 1 adoptable that could get me some discounted art? And the more adopts I would buy, the bigger discount on art of that character?
3) A plushie is super neato. I love your plushies :0
Honestly for adopts I recommend looking up art pallets, and thinking of random species. I am a sucker for rats, sloths, and spiders. You can use some fursona generator for ideas if you're stuck, too!
I'm thinking that a cool bundle would be: The original adopt art, a chibi and a badge all by different artists.
I'll see if I can add a plushie badge or something like that too.
So how much do you think for a 3 piece bundle.
And how much for the same bundle + a plushie badge (having in mind there's $7/$12 of only shipping to be added in there)
A plushie badge, hmmm, how much do you charge? Plushies can be really complicated and time consuming. I would just add your price on top of the total from beforehand, and do shipping separately depending on the country.
I would take into consideration the individual artist's prices. Getting $15 per art piece isn't enough for some artists, and that's cool, so raise the price when appropriate.
I hope this helps. Pricing is a bitch when people don't want to pay that much, but you can always price high then put it on sale!

I'm working on a dinobat with one of the artists so that's probably next :D
We decided that the 1 drawing adopts will go straight for sale, and if more than one artist makes a piece it'll go for short auctions.
