I have never personally bought half body adopts because I feel like that makes it harder to purchase further consistent character art.

HOWEVER! Jackalope did release a bunch of lineart awhile ago with some half bodies/busts and for awhile I saw a lot of people selling adopts off them.

They were usually flat color without line edits so they generally went for $5-15 depending on the complexity of the coloring.

Hmmm. alright , thank you :3

I personally sell black and white headshot sketch adopts http://www.furaffinity.net/view/27222440/

They go for $10-$20 each and I don't really have a problem selling them. I could probably raise the prices. I haven't tested adding colour to them, but have done colour add-ons for $5 (rough colours with the pencil tool in sai, so nothing fancy)

As for designs i've bought:

I have bought some of Lysandre's headshot adopts on Instagram in the past, and those have some colours to them https://toyhou.se/1694975.ramion and I've spent $10-$17 on them.

https://toyhou.se/1457858.adam I bought this one from them for something like $12, but I would have paid more! (probably at min $20-$30)

As for waist up, I bought this boy from SkeleTea on DA https://toyhou.se/2037674.dominic for $85. So it really just depends on the artist/theme/quality for me!


I love Auctions (esp tiered) for anything that might be fast to go otherwise. Sometimes they jump out of my price range pretty quick, but it's still nice seeing the artist get all that $$$.

i normally tend to avoid both; bust and waist adopts in my opinion.
but ever since I've brought an CYOP bust adopt (https://toyhou.se/1731988.zachary/gallery#6179788) from this lovely artist on da (https://pixel-latte.deviantart.com/ ) as they were streaming during that time, i couldn't resist seeing the color palette with in my mind that would have fit the boy, so i had to buy him and make him mine.

Although it was in fact really hard for me to get artwork of him in the first place as i was extremely limited to head shot commissions only at the time. So i was lucky enough to commission the same artist again, when they decided to open for a full body ref/clothes sheet by knowing that he'll be the one to make a full body ref of him for me to finally get art of Zachary.

But yea, it depends on the artist's style and design of said bust/waist adopt for me to be honest.
As for the pricing.. i would say like $10 or $15+ as a starting point?

But I've seen a few artist making and selling bust/waist adopts in both; set price and auctions.

Kingofundrock does a lot of half body adopts and never seemed to have a problem selling them. In fact, I have tried buying some, but they were ALWAYS sold out before I got there. Usually they charge around $20 to $25, but I could easily see them going for $30 or a bit higher. Honestly, I think it has a lot to do with what you put inside the lines and how much people are willing to go.

Oh. What about an auction? That might be a good way to gauge the price and then raise it slowly if they're pretty popular and easier to put out for you.

yeah i was thinking the same and adding a tier for a chibi fullbody

That's a great idea. Honestly, I love tiers, but I don't see offered that often.

i always think tiers are the best thing ever <3 it motivates people more
