@lunakiri: haaa, surprisingly, coincidentally, that's where I got my tarot set quote. I dug back through emails. :') Thank you, though!!

CatPrint is legit though. I need to actually make prints so that I can utilize them.

@Addy: I would fuckin' LOVE to be able to do prints.
Sadly, I don't see that happening anytime soon. Prints are too pricey to get, and my art isn't QUITE to the point of being OMG quality.

@lunakiri: You'll get there, though!!

I've made a few prints but mostly smaller stuff. I really gotta get my crap together and make some nice 11x18 pieces. IT'S JUST... DAUNTING..

@Addy: Prints themselves are.
If only just because you gotta find the right market for them, and then there's always the concern of if you don't manage to sell them all - what would you do with the extras, etc.

@lunakiri: Well, it seems like some artists I follow kinda cycle them out. Once they run low or can't sell the older ones, they can be given away or added as a lil extra to the new batch.

They're not SUPER expensive to print, either, so they usually pay for themselves before you sell out of 'em all. I HOPE, at least, otherwise you're selling 'em too cheap, haha.

@Addy: There are a bunch of ways to do it, and it's something I've been considering for awhile, but I do largely fetish art.... people don't really flock for prints of fetish work XD

@lunakiri: ohhh true. They'll pay out the butt for commissions if you know where to look (-coughFURAFFINITYcough-) but selling prints is a bit tougher, just ... for discretion reasons, haha.

If you have something that's more tasteful though people do really like sexy artsy stuff!

@Addy: And even then, while I fit into the FA crowd for the hypno work [since apparently that's really common there], I can't dra furs to save my damned life. XD

@lunakiri: ahh dang, that's .. definitely an issue, haha. It took me a fair bit of practice but I have a decent grasp on both human and furs now.

I'm all vanilla and lame so I don't do any of that but I know I'm missing out on some mad potentials ;w;

@Addy: Well, both hypno and bondag4e can be good intro for arts.
My art has improved MASSIVELY over the past 4 years I've been doin' hypno art even.

@lunakiri: I just mean, I'm mostly ace so I feel too much like I'm pandering or something. :'D

Though on the other side of that coin, I find some fetishes kinda interested largely because I have a bit of an outsider look. I just do cutesy stuff for now though, and that seems to do well enough ~

@Addy:
There is DEFINITELY a market for cutesy stuff.
Look at Cynical-pancake's stuff on dA.
Her shit is cute as fuuuuuuuck

@lunakiri: Daaang that is cute as heck. :O

Cutesy does find sometimes, though I know I could be making more if I did fetish/NSFW just because there are certain groups of people who will pay extra just for the nudity, haha.

@Addy: That... is very true.
You just gotta find the right crowd =)

@lunakiri: exactly! ;w; and that can sadly take a bit of time.

Networking is the hardest yet sometimes easiest. :'D Seems like it happens on accident, or trying gets you nowhere.

@Addy: I know. DX
Add in being someone that doesn't talk to most people usually..... it makes it tricky. Lol

@lunakiri: that would be difficult ;w; but still not impossible. Your work can kinda speak for you too!

@Addy: True.
Plus I've got over 5oo followers on dA. So I'm kinda surprised I don't have many patrons.
