Interest check for characters and possibly sculptu
Started By
Lately I’ve had the urge to just make random character designs in my free time, and I’d hate to see them go to waste, so since I’ve seen other people to seemingly sell these successfully for USD I thought I might try my luck. Could help me buy some more art supplies and maybe save up for a 3DS too! xD
Here are two examples:
I’d be interested to know what you think they would be worth/what you would be willing to pay (or even if you would be interested). For your money I’d give you a full sized version to display or print and a simple character sheet that can be customised. My thoughts are that either the lineart will not be unique (each pose will be used for more then one design, but your design would be unique) or the lineart will be unique to each design but at a higher price. Which would you prefure?
Also if you want to suggest breeds that you’d like to see designs for, please do. <3
Secondly, I’m considering making sculptures for sale but I don’t know if this is an area anyone would be interested in. This is one I’ve just finished painting (a life sized bee hummingbird at aprox 4cm).
What I’m thinking of selling would be a little smaller and simpler in detail so that costs and P&P can be kept low. I’m also thinking of pre-mades because I’m not confident enough to take custom orders (possibly though you could have custom colourations?).
Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas?

Your dog art makes MY dog art look like garbage! On Ala it would definitely be worth 2+ bones, and as for USD, I have no idea. I fail at pricing. <br /> The sculptures are cute, really cute and should sell but maybe not as much on Ala. <br /> <br /> For the dogs, you would get alot more for custom lines, but your lineart is really good anyway, so you will probaly sell both well.<br /> <br /> Breeds - Daschunds! ; Irish Wolfhounds ; German Shepherds; Dalmations and Greyhounds. You draw really good fur, so just draw whatever breeds you fancy. The ones I listed above are just my favourites.

I KNOW people would buy that art! You are so talented! I would like to see maybe smaller dogs? Pomeranian :3 Or Yorkie. But those are just the ones I want. I say sell them and save up for the 3-D stuff you want.

the arts beautiful and i'd say that 10$ for base lines sounds right with something around 15-20$ for unique.

Your English is prefect. =) I really like the idea of the art packs, but they would be expensive. I need to think on that.<br /> <br /> If people are willing to pay $15+ then unique lineart would be an option. Perhaps I could do the option of unique lineart and non-unique lineart for different prices.<br /> <br /> Yeah that's what I've been doing Ev, though I've not had a lot of feedback which is a little discouraging. =(

Hel I think the best option would be to make a few premades, and set up a sale auction style. Maybe even scope a few sites, such as sims (like ala) and deviant art and see where you make the most for your work. That way you know the prices ranges, and which sites you are more likely to make a profit.

Hmm well if the lineart is unique in each one, I say anywhere from 15$-30$ and if someone request pre-existing lineart then maybe around 10-20$?<br /> <br /> Not sure, but I'd buy one :D

I would prefer a unique lineart. I'm really bad at pricing but I would be willing to pay between 10 - 25$, maybe more when I have enough money to spend. ~for example.<br /> <br /> Sculptures sound nice, too :D <br /> <br /> Maybe you could sell an art pack. With a premade small sculptures painted like the character and a simple character sheet. Price would go up, if you want more than one different pose on the char sheet.<br /> <br /> That would be my suggestions ^^ I hope my english is atleast a bit comprehensible.
