Hey there! I'm not exactly new, per se, but a (forgetful) returning member! Like most folks around here I played HL back in the day (under various different names I've forgotten by now) from around 2004-05 until the site change and I lost interest. I didn't hear about HP until mid 2012 and was active here with Russian Arabians and doing graphics until 2013, when college ate me alive (and my laptop at the time bit the dust).


In any case, I'm back and hoping to get into the swing of things! I haven't decided what to start back up training and breeding, so if anyone has suggestions or a particular interest in seeing another (small-time) breeder of something specific, let me know! c;


I do have one burning question, though - how is the market for graphics lately? I have examples of past works linked on my profile and would love to get back into doing commissions; what are the going rates in today's HP economy? The prices ranges I have are all from what I was charging in 2013 so I'd like to update them if they're obsolete!


Looking forward to meeting y'all! c:

Hi and welcome back! I think your graphics are great and could fetch at least $50-80mill in graphic auctions. You could always post something in the auctions and see how it's received! :) Glad to have you here!

Welcome back! 

 

If you're interested in picking up dogs I have some ACDS that I'm giving away 100% free as the ACD ambassador! The dogs are already a couple of years old with a couple hundred thousand points, and as mentioned are 100% free! 

 

If you're interested in horses, Oldenburgs are a good breed and competitive but with a small community. Paints have a large community and are also super competitive. Depends on your interest. Also, you can check out the embassay page and see if any of those breeds jump out at you!

Welcome back! Like diva said, you should put a couple graphics in auctions without an auto buy and see what they go for.

Welcome back!!

I'm currently doing quarter horses. I know me and at least two others are also breeding them right now if you're interested in starting them up. I normally try to raffel them off every few months while they're being trained.

As for the graphics, they're amazing!! ♥ I'd def add one to the auctions without an auto buy maybe and see what they go for! :D

Thanks for all the input so far! I'll definitely have to look into the auctions as a starting point - I don't think I ever tried them before my impromptu hiatus.

As for what to breed, I'm probably leaning toward something more common to keep my interest steady, though I'm not necessarily looking to jump straight into shooting for rankings or anything. (Maybe QHs? Arabians?) I'm the most indecisive creature on the planet Earth so we'll see. :Y

Welcome back!!

It looks to me the graphic market is doing well, but not a lot of premades are done or customs offered. So another artist would be fantastic!

Michigan folk! Hello! :D I'm down in the southeast part of the LP, a short jog north of Detroit along Lake St. Clair. Glad to hear there are other Michiganders knocking around HP these days. :)

Oooh, I'm glad there are other Michigan folk around, especially LP! (Yoopers are like a whole other species!)

 

Thanks for the welcome Sam & Koni! I love WBs IRL so I will probably end up with a line or three of a breed or two!

 

RE: graphics - I was feeling inspired and did an image for my g1 stallion - https://i.imgur.com/dVCT5QE.jpg

 

Even though I haven't been doing much by way of manips the past few years, I can feel the rust flaking off already. ;)
