i can understand "adoptables" when its a unique character (not just a re-used template) and is more than just a quick sketch of them. I've done adoptables in the past but they were all different characters with fully shaded CG pictures. XD i dont buy characters myself but if i were, i'd get something with actual art and not just a template recolor.
LOL. Reminds me of a few years ago when NPR made some comment on their site about it being illegal to hyperlink to their content which was publicly accessible anyway.
lol, it's true. XD I admit to using free-templets for my adopts, but it's because I can't draw. However, I never say they're my design or say they can't make their own. Plus, I never use the hue slider thing. And now that this joke is done, perhaps some actual advice on creating adopts can be made? @u@ *cute cat eyes* Please?
the only advice i can make is instead of using templates (although it may not apply to those who have difficulty drawing), make a unique drawing per character and try to avoid a ton of overly complex markings! It always makes me sad when all the adoptables i see are WAY too complex to ever be drawn reasonably accurate at a later date.. XD
What about these adoptables I've made? Can you give me any advice on them? (I can only flat color, though I'm working on learning to shade. The shaded/detailed ones were part of an adopt collab.)

i definitely like the 2nd one a lot! taurs are cool :P
I like that it's a full picture and not just a default standing pose, i think that makes it more interesting and if i were to buy a character i'd probably buy an interesting picture like that rather than a template

Well, the taur is a template. It's a lineart that I got permission to use. There's a female version, but otherwise it's the same as the others. I just added a background cause I was bored.
Couldn't have said it any better LOL.
The people who aggravate me are the ones who just keep making adoptables and not actual art. x_x

Also, your design needs more wings. There can never. be. enough. wings. </sarcasm>

And ya know what ticks me off? When characters have 2 Iron Crosses Erstklasse, a gold wound badge, a Party badge in gold, a gold close combat badge, a Krimschild AND a Demjanskshild, an eastern front ribbon, and 16 tank destruction badges!
I bet you think I'm making a lame ass German joke. I'm being serious.
Examine some of the furs whose characters are Wehrmacht troops. /:

Thiiiiiis is so hilarious. I don't see the lace markings so much, but the horns are true.
Even one of my original species (I don't adopt them out at the time being so I guess
they're not those kind of designs yet) have horns. Though they're not based off wolfs,
only another species. x'D Most original species are based off wolves, though, so that's
sooooo true. Also I love how ridiculously sparkly the examples are. On another note,
a lot of times when I see wolf-based original species I get this feeling of deja vu, and
I swear, if I tried, I could make a whole montage of original "wolf based" species that
look EXACTLY like one another. Haha.

lmaoo well to be fair horns are awesome! I think ALL my dragon characters have horns hahaha
There's soo many times where I think a character is just a fancy wolf and then they're like UH NO ACTUALLY IT IS A SPECIES CREATED BY SUCH-AND-SUCH. I still just see them as wolves with wings or whatever lololl

Colorful characters like this can be neat(If done right), but, THIS is awesome. I get miffed about these sorts of things too! Thank you for sharing this!

as one guilty of buying a mlpony adopt I just couldn't help it, left over dollers and she was far to adorable to pass up, I would have to BE paid to ever stoop to buying a sparkle dog I'd have to say :I
You should add some elemental fire powahs to these mutts. And aaaaw yeah, they're lacking their pairs of nice comfy leg warmers. What a shame, really.
Oh oh oh and so that I won't forget - they absolutely need the ability to travel in time and space!
