Kingdom of Knuffel

argh, mine got rejected twice, because of the propotions.. it's kind of funny, as I made the base from ferns base, just made the head tiny bit smaller, and when she didn't have hair, she was slightly smaller :D
So I had to make her slightly bigger at stage 1 hah ha ha
anyhow, we'll see if it gets rejected again, but here are all the spoilers (again) + the final I left out at first, but now don't really care ^.^

I AM very happy that there are so many knuffles to chose from, and I know the the rythm of WK releases has slowed down, thank god, but my message was more preventive than anything.
Even though many artists only make 1 knuffle, some are making 3, and it is to those that I plea XD I'm not like, mad at them or anything o_o I just wish that there was a way to maybe, make a wishlist of all the knuffles you want so you don't forget or lose them from sight (I could do that manually but I haven't got the time at the moment)

Right now, 800lulu has 3 knuffles out, all releases around the same date, AgataBr22 also has 3 knuffles out, so does AlkseeyaKC, Anored has 6!! knuffles out x_xUU, Fae has 3, dancrgurl has 3, Flash has 3, kairii1989 has 7!!, LadyMidnight has 3, Login has 3, Merrymaking has 3, Ninja Ai has 4, Raine Seryn has 3, Vindrae has 4,
And I'm not even counting the amount of people hat have 2 released x_xU

I'm not saying "Stop making knuffles!", I'm just saying, please space the releases more , for example release a new one every time your old one is about to retire, that way even if they are in the shop at the same time, you have time to get both!
Or maybe only release more than 1 WK when there aren't many in the shop.

Vamp.. I don't know if you did notice but I have released 4 knuffels. 2 are now in shop. And I have a whole lot waiting. I'm now working on my 3rd, but the speed I am working on will actually replace one of the two.

You can't prevent people from creating wild knuffels. You just can't. Be happy there are people who create three over a month's spawn. Thats the most decent amount. If it gets higher then that.. Then I'd find it rather worrisome.

well I have lots to do than sitting here all day long making knuffels, as to me it's time consuming and I easily lose the track of time, so it's not very healthy for me, unless someone actually paid real money for doing so I might re-consider :D heh he

@Wiltherel I was only counting the amount of knuffles AT THE MOMENT in the store, but I know you have released more =)

again, I'm only ASKING for the pace to slow down, and am trying to do it with numbers so people can actually see the amount of "spare" knuffles we are talking about. Because, again, 50+ Wild Knuffles from the same artists is a LOT.

I know asking for people to slow down won't MAKE them slow down, and people are free to do what they want, but I HAVE to ask anyway, to try to maybe convince one or two people.

I insist, this "petition" only comes from the fact I LOVE the art you guys are making and I feel fustrated I can't BUY it and see it go to "waste" because barely 1/5 of each WK is being sold in most best cases, with a few exceptions.

I kind of realized on my own that I needed to slow down on submitting Wilds. xD I'm a naturally speedy artist, even my Knuffel Bettamer only really took a few hours to make and most of that time was me derping around messing with different colors, not actually doing anything technical. But then I thought, I haven't been on this site for even a week yet, yet I have 4 Wilds out! I have no shortage of ideas, but Wilds take 30 days to retire, right? Have any ever even sold out? I figured I couldn't be the only artist who's a Speedy Artzales, and making Wilds is a lot of fun. Designing them, coloring them, and seeing people enjoy them is really uplifting. But by submitting so many, I feel kind of guilty. I'm doing it because it's fun, not for money or anything like that, but every one I submit is one more to add to a growing list. Having so many to choose from is nice, don't get me wrong, but it's a case of supply vs demand. If so many people are supplying, demand's going to go down. There's a surplus of Wilds, and I've noticed a lot of people mentioning they can't afford new ones that they want because so many good ones are being released but they can only make so much money from posting or games, and the popular Wilds have their prices increased by every person who DOES have enough! On top of that, you can't resubmit old Wilds once they retire, and if you release them they're gone forever. They can't be traded or adopted out to people who might otherwise want them.

I think slowing down is a good idea. I'm not saying to stifle anyone's creativity or anything, and I admit I'm one of the guilty parties (4 out, and I have sketches for at least 3 more), but maybe people should consider the community as a whole instead of just what THEY want? I mean yeah, I could submit a Knuffel every day if I WANTED, but would that really be the right thing to do, taking up pages and pages of JUST my knuffels? There'll always be people who ignore the logic of it all, but I think the decent-hearted artists who are in it for the fun of it will realize they need to pace themselves more.

Besides, if we keep people waiting for our designs that gives them time to want it more! ;D Like kids waiting in November for their presents that will come in December.


... Sorry for the wall of text. As one of the guilty parties I felt I had to comment.

I can't make more then three a month, because of the time I have,
I mean.. If I was on an art school.. Yeah, It'd be easier for me to make more.

I have over 5 sketches laying around that I am planning on making them
Incase you are wondering, these are the sketches I have laying around:
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six

And I am planning on sketching more so that I have a buffer of Idea's left.
But, I doubt I can make all of them in a month's time.

mine got rejected again, so changed them again, although I'm expecting it be rejected again... and I won't be changing it anymore today... frustrating a bit :(

But you don't need to make more than 3 a month O_O I'm asking the opposite! XD that you make as few as you posibly can so we don't have an overload of knuffles ._.U
And my fave from your sketches is the fith, she's so cute *_*

See I LOVE seeing previews of your knuffles, it makes me wish they come out so I can get them, but then there are so many I CAN'T get them! I barely have 6 wild knuffles!

And thanks Fae, that's exactly what I mean, and I'm glad you understand me =)
I LIKE seeing the previews and thinking YAY can't wait for it to be released (AS SOON as the previous knuffles has expired!) like a xmas present.

Right now its as if your parents came up and said: Here, you have you xmas, birthday, graduation day, wedding day and whatever day presents, but instead of having them each at their own time we're going to throw them all at your face and since they cost so much you can only have one ._.
that totally sucks XD

and now I sound like a spoilt child, which I sware I'm not TxTU
