New to Characters, Buying, Selling, Creating?

Posted 5 years, 3 months ago by misnina

I joined so I could do commissions of other people's characters, but I noticed that there's also people selling characters and/or designs and I wanted to ask about it. What the general feeling like? Do people only like cool races and adoptables like gaia, or would normal character designs be of interest? Is the design area like gaia where you make adobtables with different colors for people, or do people only sell specific designs? I was having trouble distinguishing the difference between design marketplace and adobtables, but I've been trying to look closely. Basically, fill me in and tell me your thoughts!! This is new NEW territory for me.


Would people be interested in things like this? Or should it be cuter/more detailed/animals?

Scientist Thank you so much! This is just what I was looking for. I'll take your advice about a poll, maybe drum up a few more examples and then do that. Thank you for clarifying the difference between the design and adoptable marketplace, that makes a lot of sense. I'll look more closely at the design marketplace as I do more research. <3 Thanks again.

Hkh, Scientist pretty much covered it all!
I'm also going to second that those designs are absolutely interesting. There are a lot of highly detailed, very expensive designs that don't pique my interest as an amateur artist who doesn't have that much money. Simple designs like your examples are perfect for people like me, so if you decide to continue on with similar designs, there would be interest! Also, I've noticed people really like pixel art, so that's a bonus as well.

The market for adoptables spans between all designs. Some people like detailed animals, others like simple humans. I myself have owned a pink-and-blue fluffball. There's certainly no design specifics to adhere to. The only limit is your imagination, cheesy as it sounds.

Also, the design marketplace and the adoption center are both for adoptables! Like Scientist said, though;

-The Design Marketplace is for designs that are being sold directly from the artist that made them, or at least new designs that have never been owned by anybody before.

-The Adoption Center is for designs that are being resold, designs that have been owned before and are being resold/retraded/given away.
