i'm confused, are you talking to me? as i've said i'm not telling to to change anything, just explaining why it may be different here.

I’m not pointing fingers and saying anyone should get in trouble. My point is that many players came to the form and shared that they feel that the cost should be less because of one reason or the next. I do not believe this is a healthy way for a site to facilitate an art sales form. There will always be someone who thinks the price is too much or that they cannot afford it. That’s okay if that’s the case but it doesn’t mean that it’s okay to go on someone art sales form and discuss the price. I would have much more preferred a private message as the purpose of this form is to sell the art not discuss its price. 

i do agree it's not appropriate to have this conversation on the public forums and i'm sorry for my part in continuing it. i care a lot about this community and just wanted to help but i can understand that maybe i shouldn't have.

Hey no worries. Thank you for continuing to be kind throughout the conversation. It is my hope that I don’t have a negative effect on the community here. On another site I play, the main thing that keeps me coming back is the kind community. It just feels like a fun and safe place to be. I don’t mind having discussions in appropriate spaces and I hope the site finds a healthy way to balance not only the use of the forums but the horse stock and economy as well. So far I really like the site and I have been trying my best to only produce responsibly. 
I am open to any friendly personal messages with links to forms if anyone wants to continue a friendly general conversation about why they like the site. 

Apologies if I made you feel pressured, that's not what I intended at all. I hope you get some art sales in the future (and you're right, it probably wasn't the best idea to argue on your art forum, again, apologies). 

I'm a little late to discussion, and I understand you no longer want critique on sales so I just say this..

Normally I go into sim websites that DON'T allow sales for real currency with the expectations of it just being for fun and for fake currency that have technically no value in real money :P You have very cute artwork that no doubt is worth $15USD+ for custom stuff, unfortunately they don't allow USD sales :( (ngl I wish they did! haha) I just think usually conversion of real money to any sort of rl money based credit/point/in our case, ingot based system, these are always worth less then real money. I find it's always been this way and I understand the “breaking the norm” for this sort of thing.. I've been around for many many deviantart point sales that sort of mess with the value of art lol.. it is what it is.. but I unfortunately don't think there's enough players on certain games to drive what the economy in as far as conversions as of now ^^ That's just my thoughts..

Just keep in mind, I normally charge $35USD+ for what you are currently offering. I don't get a lot of bites on my sales but freelance art isn't my full time job either. So any commissions I do get is a bonus and appreciated greatly anytime. Plus, I can't offer my rl money sales here so I offer a “lower portion” of what I can do for what I think is fair for a sim game. My commissions are always a million times more thought out/detail oriented so it makes the money worth it for custom work with real money. SO, in the end of my small discussion, I do suggest, if you'd like to take custom commissions, if you want real money only, just stick to DeviantArt or lower your prices here just until your name is a little more established. Or just lower prices to accomodate the community a little bit more since there isn't a huuuge market for art just yet :P Again, this is my thoughts. I've been selling digital art on sim games since 2007 so it's been a long time of me doing this lol so I thought I might share a little bit of info I have found out as I sell art c: I wish you the best of luck obviously!! Hoping economy here booms soon and gets super busy of course. As for me selling art, I'm just pricing my sales a lil cheaper for now as what I think they're worth c: If you ever wanna talk digital art though, feel free to message me! :D Again, sorry it sounds like I'm hi-jacking. I'm trying not to. BUT Because this thread has gotten a lot of traction on cost/value etc. I personally would suggest perhaps making a new post with “brand new” prices, “brand new” art, “brand new” vibes for the buyers haha! (by brand new I just mean just keep it fancy like you did lol)

Hey Siren8,

I just read the art sales rules and I do not see any rules about not selling in USD. Care to share? All the assets in my art is my own, thus, on must sites I’ve been on, I can sell/trade it for anything I want; real world or not.

Jesus Christ. Sorry I interjected. I believe I read somewhere on the site rules when I was looking into it that USD sales aren’t allowed..

You’re not going to make sales with having attitude like that when someone is trying to help unfortunately, just letting you know. I wish you the best, again.. :/ yikes

Just want to let you know too, my username is not Siren8 ^^

I'm sorry you took my tone as an attitude. There was not one. I was simply asking about the rule and stating what I know about sites like this.
I also apologize for getting your username wrong. I was hopping in bed when I saw your form post.
As for selling my art. I personally don't really care if it sells or not. This is what I ask for it, this is what has been payed by over 50 other people on other sites. I do not feel comfortable asking for a different price for what others have already paid for. One day I may offer some adoptable tags for cheaper but at this moment I am not.
