My personal favorites. I've bought more from these guys than anyone else, but my tastes are probably different than most people in the fandom:

Thank you! I'll check them out!

A favorite adoptable artist?
That's a tough one.
I don't really have a favorite exactly, it is more a character design will grab my attention for one reason or another.
I've gotten quite a few adopts spanning all over FA and DA. Some develop into characters while others were just for fun or wait their turn to develop further.
Sorry if that wasn't much help or quite the answer you were looking for.
Adoptables are a bit of a crap shoot. Some fly off the shelf while others flop.
No real rhyme or reason to it. You just have to hope for the best with designing/buying them.

it is very hit and miss. The ones I like the best rarely sell and I'm surprised by how everyone's linking super toony art. Life is so wacky lol.

Why do you make me choose?! D:

Okay, favorite one I HAVE adopted from:  lazyollie
I adopted: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36799567/
I think what usually tips me over into actually adopting is outfits/accessories.
This was another adopt I picked up: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/41775739/

One I haven't adopted from yet but I still drool over is  MyDrawnWorld
They are all soooo cute! But I always try to restrict myself to adoptables I have a story/personality/role for. I'd feel bad just grabbing something and never using it.

Thank you!

Hmm..a artist that I like when it comes to adoptables is  metalpandora and one of my faves that she did at one time that was going to be adoptable but didn't go through was this character she did which was https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36187200/

Thanks!!

I have a lot, so I narrowed down to two. A furry adopt artist and a human one.

She does a ton of different species in all kinds of color combinations. Def the widest spread of adopt options I've seen. My favorite from her is this guy

Is my favorite human adopt artist. Also a range of humanoid species, but also occasionally adds a little story which is up to the adopter to keep or rewrite. My favorite from them is this guy

Thanks for letting me know! It's interesting to see the various styles people are linking!

You're welcome! It really is.

This is my fave adopt artist: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/emberdarkfire/

I tend to like slimmer, slinkier characters.. still hoping you'll make some vixens like that.

I'll try to do more foxes, unfortunately they haven't done well in the past for me so I'm still looking for species that have a high demand.

The world needs more naked mole rats.

You’re the only adopt artist I know, so you’re my favorite!

awww that's very nice of you! :D

I'd say this guy: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/jonfreeman/

Mainly he produces a crazy amount, 6 things a day. It can take a _while_ for the finished piece to show up. He's done a couple things in odd styles, like 1930's noodle arm black&white, or Nagas or Doctor Who parodies I thought were interesting. He used to do comms at one point, but I don't think anymore.

I haven't gotten anything in a _while_ (a couple years) though, so 'favourite' is relative. I generally don't do adopts.

Cool I'll check him out!
