Would there be any interest for this sort of thing if I were to knock up some premades/potentially offer customs? Obviously I could do things different (I'm not sure what I was thinking when I thought green would be a good idea! lmao). I also intend to do cleaner line work next time *read a tutorial and now wants to put it to use*


If I were to offer premades what would you want to see? Colour backgrounds or leave white with some texture to blend in with the HP white? What kind of breeds would you be interested? Also, if I were to offer customs what price range?


Lots of questions xD ... please answer :p

 I would be interested in customs. But I don't know price ranges so sadly, I'm of no help there. :( 

 

But the green, I think was a good way to go! It compliments the brown really well. :3

 Firstly, for not doing digital art in a long time, I have to say this work is stunning! Okay, now that that's out of the way. The serious answers.

1.) Would there be any interest for this sort of thing if I were to knock up some premades/potentially offer customs?

Yes, quite possibly. I do know there are many of us happy to snag a digital drawing for our pups/pons. But I also think you could expand even further and sell custom avatars or siggys to players. I know, especially around holidays/seasons, this is a big thing and a good way to flex the skills. I know before my hiatus the demand was high, but the producers were low. I don't know if this stills applies, however.

2.) If I were to offer premades what would you want to see?

To start off, I would play it safe and release popular animal breeds like Paint Horses, German Shepherds, Arabians, etc. Then as you build yourself and a client-base, you can then start toeing the water of rarer/mythical breeds.

3.) Colour background or leave white to blend with HP's white?

Generally, I would advise the HP white as the default, unless someone specifically asks you for a colour (especially for CSS style-sheets). This goes the same with the avatar/siggy suggestion I said too.

4.) What would the price range be?

The prices for these types of services flucuate heavily based on the economy with the game or if there's a certain event (i.e. custom project or mascot contest). As I stated in number two, when you build a client-base, you'll also see how much people are willing to pay for your work. This makes it easier for you to calculate charges and lock-in and price you feel is reasonable for your services.

Hopefully this helps! :)

That is GORGEOUS!  I absolutely 100% would be interested in buying a few custom images for a generic breed image for some of my different breeds :)

Your mane and tail look really good to me, far better than anything I could ever dream of doing!  I also like the blended background idea or even a completely transparent background, but your shading/shadows are really nice in the green!

Equ has a good point for the custom avatars/signatures.  For some of the digital pixel avatars (similar to what Equ has), I think I paid somewhere around 5m for one.

I am not much help in the pricing range, but I would think you should be able to charge a decent amount especially if you were to get into some custom paintings :)

 Thank guys!! A real help! 

I'll have to have a think and a play about the avatars/siggys, when I work.. i work large so i will have to have a play as if i resize i dont want to ruin the details (mane and tail I'm all for losing detail lmao). Im thinking maybe even offer a package deal if it goes ok, if you order a custom and are interested in a matching avatar/siggy then I would be happy to resize both included in the price? 

I don't know, other than I'm most happy when I paint instead of digital xD

I think I will open a few custom slots, keep yo beady eyes peeled :p

Concourse, I have only done horses currently. I could probably do dogs also, I would need to try it out first :D
