I am seriously demotivated

Hey all, I need all of your help. It has come to my attention that my premades are not receiving very high bids. It has come to a point where manips with premade horses are receiving higher bids than my graphics. (My customs still sell at for 300-400 mill) I would love to have critiques and suggestions from you all about how I can improve my work further? You can find my work at aphrodite-designs.deviantart.com All help is greatly appreciated. I'm just seriously demotivated at the moment to continue maniping. I am open to try new things and read through any tutorials you suggest. |

Mine haven't been getting crap either. :/ My highest bids lately have only been about 65 mil when my customs START at 75. I normally can sell for 100 mil consistently. Link Tree |

I've noticed that pre-coded layouts are selling for bucket loads! |

A lot of people don't buy graphics for individual animals anymore. -shrugs- Plus with money coming out of the economy more consistently now, we should start to see prices drop a little and then steady out - like upgrades have done now. |

It seems headshot type of graphics are getting the most buck for the least work. I can usually get 10-20m for a simple headshot that takes under an hour. Other than that, it does seem graphic prices have dropped a ton. |

I still buy breed specific manips but very few Friesians crop up Either way i think your work is amazing! You seem really confident using darker hues but i love the dog manip "The Walk For strength" the contrast of the black against the purple foliage is beautiful, i dunno maybe try some more like that? |

Thank you so much! I was actually thinking of doing a friesian premade! :D |

Well I've just partnered up with Audacity to breed Warlanders so I'm on the hunt for anything black and shimmery that passes for either of the two breeds haha |

If you're looking for motivation, watch movie trailers. Those always inspire me. Maybe if you have inspired ideas and interesting images with a story, you'll get more bids?Not saying your manips don't have stories, haha, just throwing out ideas... I love your manips, aphrodite, I think they're very pretty. :) |
