Bark Bark!
So, I keep seeing these bulk "YCH" sales, where an artist has one pose and just fills in two different people. Same exact pose, same expressions, same background. And people buy the hell out of them, so an artist makes a lot of money from essentially drawing one thing. Just color swap, maybe tweak to have boobs or a penis, and there you go!
I don't know why, but things like this BOTHER me. I will not say that it is lazy, because humans try to find the easiest way to get things done, and this certainly seems to be effective. However, I WILL say that I will not get anything like that done. I am a stickler, so if I get art done, I like for it to be an original. Something from my mind, or even a YCH that only has one purchase slot.
So... Artists, don't take this as me putting you down, cause you are only human, and if it works, it works. I am just saying that things like that are not my personal cup of tea. Some people like it, because it means they get their art faster, but... I am a patient guy. Just ask the artist who STILL owes me art after... Six years now... I think? Wait... Five.. It's been five years.
So, TLDR: I don't like "color/gender swap" YCH deals, but am not going to coplmain about it because it works for other people. I like my stuff to be original, and understand that it allows art to get done faster and makes people happy as well.
Not my cup of tea, but not bad, even if I don't fully understand it.

FA+

The real problem is that people keep buying them, especially when they come out from popular artists because mostly they buy the name of the product (Just like when you buy a Nike/Adidas/whatever shirt/pants/etc...).
It's such a shame that some good artists nowadays mostly do CTRL-C CTRL-V adoptables. :\
