@MoodyBats: art shops just take a lot of time to get off the ground. You need to develop a customer base, or whatever they call it in art. XD
Just keep working on it! And try to have fun while you do it!

@MoodyBats: I knew what you meant, you’ve talked about it before. You still need to give it some time to build up though.
Are you on DeviantArt or Instagram or any of those art communities?

@Lina: I know lol.
That's why i said it was unsuccessful lol cause it takes time.

And instagram is the only place
that is...working...okay for me. Just no commissions anytime soon
or orders from shop anytime soon. Will be doing patreon but that'll be another slow grind lmao.

Deviantart i rather...not.

@Lina: I didn't realize Syndrone lasted that much longer after Ernya.

Ah I adore (and still adore) your avatar art. I'm glad you're doing well!

@MoodyBats: I’m glad your Instagram is going well!
Just getting followers is a good start! ^^

@Vixen: I drifted off Ernya a little before it actually closed, I think when they started adding the custom color dye and stuff. I don’t even really know what it was, it just got weird there for a while and I went more on Syn instead.
Then they both closed. :/

Thank you! I really enjoy doing art so I’m glad people like it!

That really sucks!

@Lina: Yeah I was also not super active on Ernya when it finally closed. Honestly don't remember the custom color stuff ...

@Vixen: it got a little weird at the end.
There was some thing where you could pay to request an item in a special color and an artist made it specifically just for you. A little odd and it took a lot of time.

Voltra wants to add a dye system so users can make the monthly items and stuff any colors we want. But it’s not going to happen for a while.

@Lina: Hm I guess if you charged a lot for custom colors, it might work? Sounds like an internal economic disaster though.

Ah a dye system for all the monthly items would be fantastic, but the amount of work to get that going is questionably viable long term. I wonder if it's possible to release the item in fresh color batches each time... though I suppose that might also be an economic disaster.

@Vixen: I know nothing about coding so I really don’t know how hard it would be to do a dye system, but it sounds cool.
I kind of like the challenge of matching items in he colors they come in.
So I’d rather have them release the items again as new items in new colors. Like “Angelic 2.0”.

@Lina: It's less so about the code being difficult, but having to push out a new color to the entire item database. That's a lot of heavy duty lifting on the artists, unless they've automated coloring (which I highly doubt for any sort of multi-color complex item).

I'd love to see a "pink" set version of everything. Just the same item, but in sunset, taffy, and like gum. EVERY ITEM.

@Vixen: the commons are automated coloring. They just need to upload one and it recolors it in all the colors.
But for items that are so many colors I don’t know if that would make it easier or harder

@Lina: Yeah for single or set 2 tone items, it's probably fine. But if there are any items with unique gradients or like rainbows and such... I think that would be more time consuming since I think there would need to be more human work to be done.

@Lina: comments and likes do absolutely nothing. sharing or bookmarking does
but my work rarely gets shared or bookmarked. so my art doesnt reach as many as it was before the change. :vanora_sweat:

im hoping doing huevember and challenges will help a little tho

twitter overall is super hard to figure out lol

@MoodyBats: what!? It should be all about the likes and comments!

Chalanges do seem to be very popular!

@Lina: It's the letter icon next to the chat bubble under posts.
It's basically sharing posts in your stories.

I share all the time of art.
But none of my followers but 1 follower does it.
so algorithm is very against me at the moment.

My brain just has to remember them :vanora_sweat:
