This work is so fabulous. I really hope they went to good homes that will use them. 
I have had this happen to myself and a few of my friends, and whilst I may not be the best artist, it stings and it's a bit depressing.
Keep up the amazing work and never let your spirits down. I can't wait to see more of your art. /That sounded a bit stalkerish. Oops./

Oh gosh lkdmgkl thank you so much! Wa yes it's a bit unfortunate people have to go out of their way to bring people down, but that's just life I guess! Thank you so much for your positive message, though--I really do appreciate it after all this negativity!

klmgkl FFF holds you close to me
and yeah, I guess so smgkl I don't understand the point of going out of your way to basically insult the people who do do the adoptable thing lkmsklg it would have been fine if it wasn't worded in such a rude way aaaa

I know. D: Then those people get all butthurt when people basically tell them that we booked them a flight to gotohellvill Like me oops I ranted before I read your comment not to rant forgive me oops.
I just have seen this so frequently over the past few weeks on my adopts [which were priced at $3.] and a friend of mine who spends so much time on her adopts too. I'm allergic to people like that. But it is just wasting air [even though I feel so much better.] My rant makes no sense and my brain is fried from a long day at school and writing a paper.
Anyways like I said before. Chin up and punch people no wait don't do that.

Okay, so I am curious, because I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around the whole adoptables thing.
My question is: why the limited rights to the character? If someone buys the design, they buy the design, and it's apparently theirs to use as they please in terms of developing the character for it. So why a "no roleplaying" rule like someone mentioned below? Why restrict it to non-commercial purposes? If you're selling character designs, why not sell it outright? It seems like the latter option would be more clear overall, especially for copyright purposes. (Normally I'd say the low price of most adoptables would make it clear that the buyer does not get copyright, but this is dA where people sell finished artwork for pretend money, so that rule kind of goes out the window.)
I mean, I sort of understand what you're trying to do. If someone commissions me to paint their OC, I own the copyright of my painting, but not of their OC. And the commissioner doesn't get the right to make prints of that painting. But if you are creating designs and selling them, and giving people free reign to create whatever character from that design... it seems like you are sort of implicitly also selling them copyright, or at least muddling the water so as to make things REALLY complicated legally. I know adoptables are mostly just for fun, but considering how messy copyright can be, it seems like you'd still want to make things as clear as possible from the outset.

I'm not completely sure if I understand, as I haven't encountered adoptables with the restrictions you've stated. I have no idea why someone would make a "no roleplaying" rule, or for any other non-commercial purpose. For my adoptables people own the design and can make prints of them or whatever if they wish, as long as they don't sell my art of them and credit the design to me.
For those restrictions, I really have no idea! Sorry I couldn't be of any help!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay. That makes sense; someone mentioned the restrictions in the discussions below and I was confused.

I can kind of understand point buys but.. Who the fuck would honestly pay $85, or more so $100 for a drawing/character? That's just ridiculous! What a real waste of money.

As I don't like to hide original comments, for anyone who wants to comment on this, please don't! The OP isn't going to listen, and I would hate for you to have to waste of your time and energy to try and make it so. Thank you so much, though!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Excuse me? I don't care who listens and who doesn't. I don't understand why everyone's getting so butt hurt over it really. I'm just stating my opinion. Am I not allowed that? Wow, what an artist.. If you can not handle criticism than you clearly do not need to be in this business. You should be able to handle every opinion, the good and the bad and you shouldn't need the back up of strangers to deal with it either. Someone needs to grow up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Of course you care - since you're the one who decided to leave a comment on this deviation with your so-called-opinion in the first place.
Don't forget that you started this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I started nothing. The people started the fight by not letting my thought go through one ear and out the other. I can not help that they let their anger get the best of them. And that they - like you - feel they must retort for an artist who can't accept anything other than "It's amazing" or "They're so beautiful!", blah, blah.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Dude, you wrote the comment when you can just kept it to yourself.
What do you expect people to react IRL when someone completely random like yourself goes up to an artist on the street saying "who's gonna spend this much money on art like this" - you can expect people around who heard that is gonna think bad of you and even start a fight.
I don't know if you have realized that you didn't wrote anything that is relevant to this piece of work. You said it's criticism, but all you wrote about is about the money that is involved in this adoptable stuff. Where is criticism in that. I'm sure this artist would have accepted your comment if it was a real criticism involving in artistic matter.
You seem to be a writer. I thought you'd know better of writing things in better way instead of wording it so rudely.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sorry you had to deal with this! Thank you very much for trying to talk some sense into the user, but I don't think they're going to listen. I've decided they were causing too much ruckus without actually discussing their point and instead being insulting and in denial, so I've blocked them. I'm sorry again for any time wasted!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I'm sorry I poured oil in this when i'm just a complete stranger. I should say the same thing to myself to keep things to myself but since it was clear this isn't criticism shit on "art" itself, I had to say it...
Btw, I'm not a big fan of adoptables myself, I must say the quality of your adopts are great - the characters are detailed, and I think the amount of time you've spent on these are fair for the price you've set.
Keep it up!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aw no, it's just fine! I mean, their statement was broad enough to include anyone who would choose to respond to it. To be honest I think it was more engaging the people viewing rather than me!
And thank you very much! I understand not being a fan, I don't buy adoptables myself but I absolutely love designing them. Thanks so much for taking the time to try and explain things to them, I really appreciate it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Wow, you are completely ignoring any point of reason. I'm fine with critique, but your opinion wasn't critique--it was just you being rude to the people who choose to use their money on what they wish.
You're playing victim and making things up to justify yourself. If you could copypaste me one part of any of my comments as evidence to support your claims of anger, me not accepting anything other than it's amazing, etc.
I don't know what you're trying to prove? That you wouldn't spend your money on something like this? Well, then point proven! You should state that "I would never spend so much money on this!" rather than making a broad, insulting statement as "That's just ridiculous! What a real waste of money." If you don't see how that could spark "retort," then gosh I just don't know what to say. You're insulting people who do choose to use their money like this. You're welcome not to, but don't throw your opinion on people when you say people do that to you.
I think you need to take a breath and calm down. I don't know why you're getting so heated. If you feel like people are attacking you, then you should probably just stop responding and giving people something else to respond to? But you did start this, as you put the initial comment. If you think something was misconstrued, you can state so in a reasonable way and not in a sort that insults someone or questions their choices/actions. Thank you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh look at you, commenting back again even when I gave up the replies to you. Wow.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because you are harassing people on my deviation. Clearly you're not listening to reason, you're too worked up in your own head. I really do hate blocking people and never have done it before, but I'll make an exception for you as you're just being unnecessarily rude and can't even back up your own claims.
Wow.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
The same reason you're getting butthurt over it, I'd suppose. You state your opinion then they state their's. I can handle criticism, but I was reasonably upset that you completely ignored my responses as I am the one this involves and continued to respond to other comments (which contained more insults than anything else). I tried to approach you respectively and by ignoring it you brought this upon yourself. I didn't state that your opinion was invalid or anything of the sort, I only requested that you not continue to engage in this debate on my deviation out of respect for both me and those who choose to spend their money as they please.
I don't believe I'm the one that needs to "grow up" here, as you are the one who has been going in the back-and-forths which mostly contained insults and little argument as to why your opinion would be valid. I'm not trying to argue with you here, I'm trying to settle this in a calm manner.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Again, a waste of ones time supplying such a long comment. Do you not have anything better to do than target someone who only speaks their mind.. At least I'm not attacking a person like some kind of religious group and trying to force them to believe what I do. -Sigh.- The ignorance of this world..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pardon? I don't consider my comment long, but I was trying to present a point. Quality over quantity, you know. I'm not even targeting you--you basically targeted me by commenting on my deviation? You should stop using the word "ignorant/ignorance" so much, as you're displaying the same (if not worse) behavior of the people you sling the word at.
But if you would like to play the victim, then you're free to do so. I don't know why you're getting hostile with me when I haven't been hostile toward you, but whatever floats your boat. Have a nice day.

Hey, why would someone pay $400,000 for a dress? People can spend what they want on what they want, and posting bias comments isn't commonly appreciated.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
You may be entitled to your opinion, but no need to be an ass about it. I'm sure you waste your money on things others would think are stupid. These designs matter to some people so you should respect that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I completely understand how you may find it ridiculous, but I would greatly appreciate if you didn't post such a thing here. You're free to send me such privately and I'd be happy to respond, but by doing so here I feel you're insulting my customers, and other people who choose to spend their money on adoptables.
Stating your negative opinion here won't exactly make the people who do choose to spend their money on adoptables (or other such things) change their mind. I'm more than positive that they have thought over the use of their money as it is quite the amount, and decided that--fortheir own reasons--it's worth it. It really shouldn't be anyone's business but their own.
I know you've probably read a lot of similar responses as I'm a bit late to be responding to this, but as the artist I feel I should say something as well.

well lets say you commission a person from a real company. lets say a random game company . you employ one of there drawing staff to come up with concept designs for a new character. you have to pay
1) for there time
2)for all the materials
3)for there general pay so they can make money off this. you know stuff you need for food and living.
4)for the actual designs.
so you can see that if people make a living off this there must be a lot of effort involved. It isn't easy I tell you!
alot goes into designing. again going back to if this was a company or say a freelance artist. the process that thinking a GOOD design is a hard and long one.
firstly you have to have an initial design idea. Then you have to refine it. if a person wants a certain thing you can end up doing this 10+ or even 30+. you have to think of multiple colours and again refine them.
I can see that you are not a person that understands this so you must not be an artist. well on the drawing sides of things anyway or you would understand the time and work that goes into drawing and coming up with designs. ANYONE who draws at a descent level will know that to have a good drawing you should at least put an hour into sketching, and lining is a different story. drawings like this can take anywhere from 3-48 hours to draw each. so please do not say 3 whole days of someone working non stop is not worth anything!
these are very nicely drawn and you should see that work that has gone into them.
Also sorry for my English, it is not the best but I hope I explained why these are worth it :>!

this is a very good explanation and as an adopt maker i appreciate it
i plan to make a journal or article soon about many things to do with adopt making including tips on selling,pricing, etc and also explanations.
if you dont mind id like to quote your reply here so many other adopt makers can also understand what their designs are worth

sure I don't mind. I am actually in education to become a character concept artist so I know about the industry :> if you need to know anything about it feel free to ask!

Honestly, I can see your point of view. $100 is a lot of money to be paying for an image that you can only use for personal non-profit purposes.
However, I myself have bought quite a few adoptables and even paid up to $60 for one. Why? I think it's partly because it helps me encorperate something new to my creative outlet when I'm in a bit of a bind, partly because I really enjoy drawing and creating story lines for characters I myself would not have thought of creating and partly because I want to support the artist.
There are plenty of things that people pay outrageous amounts of money for, that others then go "what a waste". Like people who buy designer brand clothing or people drive expensive cars.
Really, when it comes down to it, it's what the item means to the buyer.
In reality though, commission prices on DA are BELOW minimum wage. Considering you're getting a full body, single character, full color design that you can then use for any non-profit personal purposes, the prices are not THAT bad, for the real world. The other thing to remember is that this was an auction. People will often pay the extra amount of autobuy because they don't like auctions, aren't sure they'll be awake when the auction ends and it assures them that they will get the item.
Would I pay this much for an adopt. No, I wouldn't. But I can understand why people do.

Thank you so much for trying to explain! I hope this hasn't caused you any stress or anything of that sort. As this has been about "wasting" money, I'd truly hate for you to waste any time on this, as I doubt his opinion will change (though I do appreciate the effort of trying to get him to understand even if not agree to it!).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're very welcome (:
Sometimes, people just haven't quite considered points that others have, and it helps to try and explain where others might be coming from.
Unfortunately, I think this is one of those cases, where the original poster won't be seeing eye to eye.
But I hope that doesn't deter you or your buyers.
Your adopts are lovely and obviously a lot of work goes into them.
To be honest, their popularity doesn't surprise me and I personally think its well deserved.
Adopts aren't for everyone, and the value of money varies from person to person. So there will always be someone who thinks the price is outrageous, but I think you handled this well. You politely stated your stance and stood up for your buyers and yourself. And really, that's all you can do.
I look forward to seeing more of your pieces and wish you the best of luck with future endeavours

I know this. And I have the SAME opinion on those who chose to pay high price for designer clothes, expensive cars and so on. But in all honesty, it is just a waste. No matter what you're buying that's overly priced. It's still a waste. You might as well wipe your butt with that money.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I'm pretty sure if you REALLY thought this way,that you would not be using the computer you got. In fact if you really thought that way you would live in the woods and use leaves as cloths. Just saying.
Personally I think if you have the money, and you earned that money with your blood, sweat, and tears that you shouldn't be judged by what you buy. Especially not by someone who does not appreciate what goes into things WORTH buying. Like good art. And nice cars, nice clothing, and drawn or sculpted art is considered good art.
You know what I would do if I had the money. I would buy a Marussia. It's a super car worth well over a million dollars. You know why. Because I like it and I certainly would not change my mind about buying it over what one person said.
My point is opinion are like assholes. Everyone has one, no one wants to hear them.
Hell you probably didn't even read this because this is my opinion, and you have the right not to read it. But you don't have the right to spread negativity on an artists hard work. So next time think before you start typing on that expensive computer you must despise.
