Aww, yeah. I always feel bad when I don't value someone's art as much as they do. .___. I usually just pass over those shops.

Aww.. I don't even know what an overlay is. @A@

Aaannd I'm posting some new art to the front in a sec.

Hello~ mind if I join you guys? :)

I was reading some of the previous comments, and I gotta agree on the art for USD thing. Seems like everything revolves around real money nowadays, so what's the point of game currency? DX

And isn't overlay a layer setting on photoshop? I think? >.>

Of course! :D

Yeah I can get having RL commissions set up. But if you have a shop on a site, it should be fore the currency or items of that site. O.o otherwise it seems kinda rude, like taking away from the site itself.

Oh, I know that. XD I wonder what different it makes when selling art... or if that even has anything to do with it. O.o

ohhh makes sense. :o

And awww, that's cute! ;w;

I actually had to look up what a polecat was... Completely different name in my language...
But it looks cute! A bit funny though if the screen is a bit darker... The hair flows into the polecats fur so it looks like a whole!

well, i can understand both RL vs. avie site commissions.
i feel the trend is something like this (of course does not mean everyone is like this):
a lot of artists start off relatively young, so when they first draw for these sites, they aren't professionals, haven't gone through art school, possibly still going to high school (or in some amazing cases, junior high), no bills to pay or anything like that. then after a few years, they enter college, bills to pay, not having as much time... so having to spend 8 hours on a commission for no real money just doesn't seem worth it anymore... especially now that they are old enough to have their own paypal, buy their own stuff without parents breathing down their backs, and such. or they may just need the extra cash to pay for food so they don't have to eat instant noodles everyday.
again, this isn't all artistis, but if you look at it, the pre-college artists, good or bad, usually take on avie currency... whereas the college and older groups are the ones that tend to take on more RL commissions.
