tbh I'm not sure. maybe about 4,000$ although 2k of that was for a custom suit of her that's being made!
Most of the artwork is actually done by me though which is why she has so much! only about 1,000 of the images are drawn by other people! and most of them were bought with pet site stuff rather than usd, or gotten through art/oc trades!
I've had her for 11 years and I've drawn her ever since so it's just accumulated over the years :3
so tbh the best way to accumulate a lot of art is try to draw a few drawings each day! There was one day about 2 weeks ago were I ended up drawing 72 pictures in one night lol.
I've always been really fast at drawing so that helped a lot, fast to the point where I often do pay by the minute commissions because I can crank out a highlighted and shaded headshot in 5 minutes.
So honestly being able to draw fast helps (and since I know her design so well it's easier to draw her faster).
Making yourself draw a lot can suck though. I did a bunch of stuff yesterday, so I'm taking a break right now to refocus so I can draw more.
I mostly developed drawing fast during school. I've got adhd and drawing helps me focus, so I ended up drawing a TON in high school, to the point of having tins full of art, and in one year, I think my junior year, I had 3 tins, each with 1,000 drawings in it each, just from the year alone.

Honestly just drawing A LOT.

This is just some of my traditional art that ive got: https://sta.sh/25oswosf7q1?edit=1
(Currently working on going through that mess and cutting everything out nicely to photograph to put up uere and it is not a fun time xD)
So like all I can say is that drawing a lot really helps, even if its just some doodles on scrap paper! :D
