NOTE: Please, if you don't like the concept of adoptables, there is no need to rail against it here, I'm not looking for those sorts of comments. Thank you. :)
I thought I'd give the whole adoptables thing a go. Here's three designs of female canine for you (feel free to assign them a species - fox, wolf or coyote for example can all work!).
The price on these is $8 each. You can feel free to name them, use them in art, change their gender, change any of their details. Once you buy them, the character design is ALL YOURS! I accept only Paypal, note or comment to claim.

Not sure anyone will take up on them but...they were fun to make anyway!

I made adoptables befor on my other account. charged.. alot less.. did a shitton more work *drew each one by hand* prolly not my best move. xD but i'd never done em befor an i'm not nearly as good as you. lol. but i managed to sell em all. my next batch, the ones where i used one lineart, modded up the ears/tail/hair/ect, did'nt do well at all tho xD but uh.. these are awesome. i hope you sell all of em, and do some more.
Oh how this just sums up the fandom, no offense, it's just, the fandom is mostly a selection of cookie cutter interchangeable species differentiated only by different hair and coloration. Not that I'm unique in any way as hyenas are on the rise in popularity(I mean, we are awesome, what's not to love). Bleh, just jaded I guess.
Everything is boring and unoriginal if you really look at it. Even being something entirely new or unique is thus boring and original because everyone's trying to be entirely new or unique.
Honestly, if I had the cash, I'd REALLY like #3 Would make an AWESOME fursuit, and I even have the fur and everything around to do it.
And canines tend to be boring because people really don't shake up the mold that often, they're either sparkledog eyebleed neons, black, white or two tone like a husky. There are a lot of natural color foxes, and occasionally wolves, coyotes are uncommon and usually natural combinations of colors and I love them for that. But you don't see dholes, african wild dogs, dingos or alternate species of fox(or even interesting color morphs of the red fox), aside from the fennec, all too often. Also, Coyotes, wolves and foxes are NOT interchangeable and one of my biggest peeves in the fandom is artists ignoring that. But then I suppose I'm just weird in that aspect that in being obsessed with biology I can't help but rage over the glaring inconsistencies between all the various generic canines. I'd just like to think people would think highly enough about their fursona to do a little research on the species they choose to represent them.
And for a very simple primer (I guess I should do that tutorial on differentiating species I've talked about)

I'm quite aware of the differences between a wolf, fox and coyote. However, these are simple adoptables. In style they're more coyote/fox, but they are specifically drawn to look like you can easily convert them to any pointy-eared bushy-tailed canine easily. The point of an adoptable is to have a character that you can use in RP or in other commissions: the pose and drawing here is merely a base for that design. And I think that, given the stylized nature of my art in general, these fit that bill fairly well.
And yes, it's hard to be original with anything. My own character was fairly original at one point, now there are like 20 neon green hyenas running around. (The neon green was originally a joke on mine, but it stuck).

Well, okay, as long as you acknowledge that. I'm aware of adoptables and their purpose, I even consider I might sell off a few of my characters at some point (specifically probably with their fursuits after I build them). And as I mentioned, I'm even tempted to buy one of these myself, I'm just not sure whether I can justify the cost, especially because it'd likely become something I would be selling off in turn after making a suit from it.
My comment was generally based at the trends I see in the fandom as a whole, as I tried to mention in passing, this really had very little to do with your art, although I felt a bit of knee jerk gut reaction into them being branded as generic canines interchangeable between what I see as three distinct species. You did a great job at making them generic, although I'm not sure if that can be taken as a compliment, although I mean it as one.

Sure thing! Just send over $8 to korrokhyena[at]gmail.com and I'll send you the bigger file. ^^
