Description

EDIT 2021 : my God this thing is baddd, please spare yourself and don't read it 😂 Or do so with a grain of salt! 
I'm glad if you find this useful, but remember it was just my young self's point of view!
Tips from 23 y/o me would be to make adopts if you like it, if you enjoy it then this is the most important ♥ Selling is hard, very hard, but if you have it in you you gotta keep on making adopts, keep on trying to sell, try different things, etc. But never forget to have fun ♥


--------------

EDIT (01/01/2019): Hello everyone! This 'tutorial' was created years ago, and is by way the most popular deviation in my gallery! Thank you! I am glad people found this useful; it is really old and I don't like it as much anymore, if at all! I hope to perhaps redo it in a few months/years

Here you go <33

Palettes websites :

- design-seeds.com/index.php/P16 It has various palettes updated daily

- www.colourlovers.com/ It has various colors palettes and patterns

- www.degraeve.com/color-palette… Just put the URL of an image and you'll have its palette !

This is to help you, I sometimes use them, but I now I mostly choose the colors myself x3

The most important is to practice and to love making adopts <3 There is no magic words to create great adopts and all, mine aren't that great and I know it, I'm not saying I'm a great adopt maker no no not at all, but I like to make them, and I'm so happy to see that some of you love them ! It makes me want to make more and more ♥ I love you guys <3

I hope it helped you <3 If you have any question feel free to ask !

Hello! That's not a stupid question at all, don't worry!

Overall, many people would forbid maker-made adopts, either because of the rules of the creator of said maker, or among adopt groups. Some would allow them, of course! But there are many maker creators that don't allow people to sell designs using their maker
I do like messing with these makers too, what I do usually is make some and take inspiration from them to create some adopts! ;v; That way I can improve some detals, remove and add stuffs, to make it unique.
Of course makers would be quicker to make adopts, but I would highly recommend you either draw them yourself, or use a base that allows adopts to be made with them!

When you have payed the points how do you get the art? Do you download the art and cut your adoptable out?

RigelAdopts In reply to CATgirl001 [2018-07-10 18:40:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah you just crop out your adopt or the owner sometimes send the separate file!

Frostdance89 [2016-05-15 17:56:50 +0000 UTC]

This helps a lot! Also, since you obviously know a good deal about this kind of stuff, do you know if you're allowed to use characters from Doll Divine to sell as adoptables? If you're not sure, that's fine.

Mitybo In reply to Frostdance89 [2016-06-18 17:32:49 +0000 UTC]

I think it depends on the rules of the game on Doll Divine, but unless they explicitly state no adoptables I'm pretty sure you can make them.

No problem! Oh, and it's always good to check if the creator of the game lets you sell it for points.

i know this is a old comment, but just in case you still wanted to know,
you visit someone's profile and at the top right below your notification bar, you will see a button that says "give"
if you press it you will get different options, click "give points" and type in how many you want to give
some people will have donation pools or certain widgets to pay at, but this way to give points is ALWAYS available

This is helpful but i created adoptables and no one i mean like NO ONE checked them out yet or bought them for like a few points if anyone wants i can make a lower price just for them

RigelAdopts In reply to Lovely-feeling [2015-08-14 09:56:52 +0000 UTC]

Selling adopts may take a lot of time sometimes, you'll have to be patient ;v; 
As the time goes you'll improve your designs and they'll sell faster; just keep on making them and they'll sell one day !

After a lot of time yes you can lower the price, sometimes it works ;v; <3

hey i was wondering if you could have a look and help me a bit, this is my first time trying adopts and i have no idea how much is a good amount. 
also how do you give them their design? (like give the buyer the creation)

Thx it'd be much appriciated

RigelAdopts In reply to black-dragones [2015-08-14 09:55:25 +0000 UTC]

The price depends on a lot of things-
Just price them the amount of money/points you think they worth depending on the time you took to make them and all ;w; <3

Oh and for that, once the customer paid their adopt it is technically theirs, they can take the picture and use if as references for example; you can also crop the adopt from the batch and send it to them but that's all : as long as they paid, it's theirs >w<
