Anything goes. Popular artists sell adopts for well over 30$. 5$ adopts and such are usually chibis or adopts made with a base. Not sure if people woild pay extra for a bio, usually ghey like to invent the character's personality themselves.

Wow, havent seen a 30 bucks adoptions yet. Tnx

No problemo~

And 30 bucks is usually justified if you offer a quality design using your own linework and no base.
 Demonnyuu for example sells a lot of self-made adopts at an average price of 30-45$ and often times sells them quickly. Their adopts are always sold with an NSFW ref, but they all vary greatly from sexy to cute, to "scary" and interesting. Anything goes so long as your mind and art-hand can make it happen~

But yes, as you may have gathered from research, artists using bases for adopts usually sell them at low prices simply because the lines are used again and again so there's a lot of similarily shaped adopts out there, which can make them less interesting for people.

Yeah from what I've seen you can make a real killing from adoptables.

Many don't seem to come with narrative information but they do range from feral to anthro/ sexy to cute.

If you're looking to make some money, sexy anthro seems the way to go, if its just for fun your options are limitless.


I've not ventured into the adoptable business myself so I might be talking baloney, however.

Thanks for the info anyway.

The Price of an adopt can greatly vary. I've seen great adoptable go for $5 and seen average adopts go for a more Cynical price.
Additionally, the quality of "Batches" and variance within can vary even more.
Some just make a frame and colour in the lines.
Others draw each char unique.
Also, while some name the chars (and allow the buyer to rename them) some do give them bio and backstory, though they also allow the buyer to disregard it since the Design is usually the adopt part.

I see, tnx!

If you do make adoptables, I suggest following the methods of artists like  gammanaut and  marauder6272
They do wildly different designs and let the buyer come up with the backstory and character themselves. Also, I recommend trying to go under 20 bucks.

Thanks for the examples.

I buy plenty of adopts still. Depending on the art quality, design, ect the price varies.

From what I know I can draw any character I want and the adoptable basically means I 'sell' this character for a person to use it in way we agreed, right? Yep, pretty much. Usually, there are no rules or just "Don't use for commercial purposes" since most buyers dislike having limitations on their characters.

Can the price of the Adoptable character increase if it has a backstory/bio?
You can if you want, but personally I wouldn't raise the price for backstories, since many people who adopt a character make up their own backstories so they fit with their other characters more.

Or it depends in the how well it drawn?
It's definitely a factor

Do people still buy adoptables?
Absolutely, at least I do.

The usual price for adop.character is 5 bucks, right?
Depends on the quality. If it's just a base that was drawn and recolored a bunch (I dislike these a lot), then $5 or so is expected. Of course, unique ones can easily go for a lot more, and if they have a front/back then quite a bit more.

Adop.characters can be sexy/sexual as well as cute, yes?
They can be ANYTHING

Very informative, thanks!
