Q/A's for my adopts and art in general. (Updated) by Sapphirus

UPDATED: 12/6/2020

Q/A Questions version 2 you can say, kinda updated compared to my first one also. But here's ones, potentially re-answered. Will be updated as questions come to me. Be aware, some answers have be toned down to avoid severely offending people, as many are sensitive online to other ppls beliefs etc, especially on this site/themed fandom.

•••••••••••••••••••••••

🌟 •Q: Will you one day boost prices on your adopts in the future?

A: Might be a possibility, sometimes I sell my adopts a few dollars higher than my commission base price, because I worked harder on it, added something extra I charge extra on commissions, or just need the simple extra dollars if possible.


🌟 •Q: Why don't you give people the SAI Files to adopts they buy?

A: Few issues "Potential recolored adopts or base recycle", sometimes people are known to re-produce additional work with the same base from adopts sold to them, to lowkey make adopts to sell off. If you want a recolor of an adopt I sold you to make a relative etc to them, I will refuse this. I will encourage you to commission me for another pic related to that adopt instead, I only allow recolors to an adopt (free) before the person purchases it also, recolors after that would cost, but asking for a recolor to an adopt I sold you, as a separate character, im not fond of that, it's like getting two characters for one price in a way, which is cheating me out, if that makes sense.


🌟 •Q: Why do I see someone put your adopt/s on hold, go longer than a week?

A: This is very RARE occasion, like if it's an emergency, or a situation that i'll give them spare time BUT I will not pamper this situation if it becomes a habit, if the person keeps abusing my kindness this way, and try to guilt trip the situation for an advantage, bribes etc, I won't allow/accept holds from the person anymore. It's better if you know that you're getting paid, than to risk holding my adopts, especially to prevent others from taking them, knowing you might NOT be able to pay for them, making it habitual. This is unfair to my other customers. I try to be sensitive to ppls situations, but abusing that can piss me off in the long run. Especially if it always longer than a day I admit.


🌟 •Q: Why do you avoid fetishes, Yaoi, Yuri, YCH's, mainstream themed adopts, furry porn, herms etc type of adopts?

A: To try put it in the least rude way. If it's something i don't agree with, or against my opinions, beliefs etc, I won't draw it, i'm entitled to that right. Most fetishes to me are gross or disturbing to me, but there's some I don't mind drawing, like chub, thick hips, thick dicks (sometimes I don't realize I draw my own a bit big than usual sizes LOL), Marco boobs etc though, is a pain for me, I can only draw them so big. If I draw NSFW, has to be human, to something for example (Inuyasha/Sesshomaru), kemons, nekos, they gotta maintain a human body and genitals or else it's a no for me.) Tame nude Furries, anthros, ferals etc only, I'm not drawing things that disturb me to make other ppl happy. Sorry....


🌟 •Q: How do you get your art done in a fast fashion?

A: Simple, I sometimes start drawing it while in mid note or message with you, and the time you send me payment, I possibly got a WIP made already, this might especially happen if you're a longer responder. Depends on if i'm bored or not doing anything at that time, so don't panic that I'm rushing your pic etc.


🌟 •Q: Fav quality of coloring from your commission sheet?

A: Flatcolored and Shaded Lineart


•Q: Are you apart of the Furry fandom? Fur suits etc?

A: As i've said many times, no. I only draw furries/anthros for profitable reasons mainly, I wouldn't mind drawing Kemons and humans more but the majority of the art sites im on is Furry hosted, so I adapted to draw those more. I'm a human/Kemon fandom person, in general though, there's reasons why I'll never be apart of the furry fandom personally, many in that fandom that I know are very kind and awesome though. Will keep it at that.


🌟 •Q: Why do you email adopts manually now after invoices?

A: To those who didn't read, i'm doing like that now because I found a loophole in invoices, if someone sends payment with an e-check, the person you sent the invoice to, gets the artwork way before the e-check clears, which takes days, being perfect potential for scammers to abuse it, so I no longer add the adopts in invoices anymore, and sometimes they don't send through anyway, and I end up manually emailing them.


🌟 •Q: How come you don't draw feral pokemon adopts at all, or barely feral designs in general?

A: People are anthro lovers more than ferals unfortunately, unless I draw the anthro with th feral form in a ref sheet adopt, not really in the mood to do that a lot. Only occasional.


🌟 •Q: What other style besides your own can you draw in?

A: My fav original art style, Sonic style, with a tad of differences.


🌟 •Q: If you have a fetish, what it is?

A: Ironically as a virgin, I love thick dicks on male characters (Human or Kemon), not macro levels though, the way I draw them mainly though normal size is fine also, I love people who draw nude male art (solo). I have a fetish for silvered hair/spikey haired men, depending. Example: Sephiroth, Sesshomaru, Axel, Vegeta, Ignis Scientia etc, also, I LOVE WINGS, WINGS AND the idea of Levitation. My Persona has both these abilities.


🌟 •Q: Why don't you do auctions, and make closed species adopts etc?

A: The process of Auctions I noticed.....is unfair sometimes and auctioneers pull a lot of situations that makes it look bad, so I want nothing to do with it, and making closed species adopts, the rules I seen on those is horrible, managing the drama for it NOT worth the trouble, I tried closed species once, didn't sell and I decide not to practice it, but please don't make adopts off my species to sell.


🌟 •Q: What is your biggest Pet peeve in the art world?

A: People promoting and justifying Pedophilia/cub sexual stuff, especially in artwork, people are disgusting...


🌟 Q: Will you ever put your discord server open for all again? And do you use Patreon?

A: Nope, after the bad experience in having it like that, it'll stay as a secure/specific way of being accepted into for now on to ward out trolls/randoms. As for Patreon, I hear bad things about it, like ppl getting shut down for fanart stuff etc, I dunno if i'll ever use it tbh. Paywalls seem stupid and frustrating.


🌟Q: How many adopts does it take to become a regular buyer to you, to gain the week hold bonus?
Atleast buying 3 adopts a month from me, support is the key. Commissioning me counts also. New people is a day hold by default, gives me a chance to see how committed you are and such, why give you a benefit if you rarely buy my art in general? Example: Every few months, few times a year etc.


🌟Q: Are you stressed out by art changes/adopt edits.[/i]?

A: I can be yes, if you're asking me for too many changes on a commission, on my commission sheet, I encourage picky ppl not to commission me in general, too much nickpicky people about anatomy etc, and the last thing I need is a perfectionist commissioner, when im not holy in anatomy at all, I start charging extra when if gets bad. Adopts, I offer color changes free BEFORE purchase, after is extra charge, Lineart changes I charge either way, if you want me to do an edit that changes a LOT of the design like im re-doing it almost, I will refuse, either buy the design as it is, or keep the lineart to like a limb change ( like legs, Tail, etc ).


🌟Q: What's your least fav thing to draw?

A: Robots, machines, guns, complex armors and shapely items, they frustrate me atm, and i got a weakness to hands, some expressions, certain feet poses and shapes.


🌟 Q: Are you Politically Correct?

A: Not really, all the BS with that is mostly against my beliefs, i'm a minority, doesn't mean i'm entitled to act more superior than majorities and play the victim card, claiming I can't be racist to another because my race suffered more than another. Also, Get woke, go broke. No ty. Ironically I'm on that side for the party because I didn't start voting til I was 28, 31 now, and was suggested a common party based on a lie, as years passed learning about my side vs the other (which is a LOT more sane and goes more with what I believe it), I regret picking my current party, so i'm considering switching sides soon.


🌟 Q: Why don't you make sales like "Buy one get one free" or lower price discounts than what you make usually?

A: Well, I don't want to promote a trend of making my artwork cheaper in order to sell to people, and i'm not comfortable in those buy one get one free types of sales because I dunno what ppl would try to do with free adopts when im not looking, so I price them all instead for a lower price on occasions. I do more sales for my orignal art now because it gets way less praise than my Fan adopts. It's kinda a bad feeling to see when someone only buys an adopt from you when you discount them instead of buying them at the normal prices sometimes.


🌟 Q: Original Adopts or Fan adopts, your preference?

A: Sadly, Originality is the huge minority in profit making when it comes to adopts....and the less I see them sell, especially mine, the less encouraged I am to make Original adopts anymore these days, this is why you see me making more pokemon etc adopts over original, it sucks to not have your original adopts be loved more or atleast equally.


🌟•Q: Why do you color your wings shadow black (the one not fully showing/folded/i]?

That's the shadow practice some artists take on areas not really showing the best details, sometimes ppl scribble it with sketchy lines you see in comics. I seen others do it so I apply it to my art sometimes, even on the ears, and the horns on anthros etc with them, those parts are more rare than I do it with wings though. I see it done on limbs also, like if it's away from the main view limbs, I rarely do those since i rarely draw ferals in general.


🌟•Q: Why do you offend people and have controversial views on your page/s and commission sheet especially?

I stick to what I believe in, im not gonna let people who like to take down others for non-maintream ideals and views change my ways, if I change, it'll be on my own, not someone trying to Cancel culture me. I'm a Christian Woman, my disagreements would most likely be what you think but I do respect people as humans, but im not gonna be forced to live in a Culture that Biologically doesn't exist (irl) or be forced to cater and encourage things against my Christian views and my beliefs. I believe in God's rules and plan, not humans, even if he put us here to rule over the world. Let me believe in what I want just like you can believe in what you want.


🌟•Q: Would you ever do Traditional artwork again?
Not sure tbh, I started out Traditional at 5 to 15 years old, digital though, is so much more cheaper and you don't have to keep buying supplies to do art like traditional, and traditional has expensive stuff if you want to do the best quality art. I make a sketch once in a while but im so use to the undo button, it's awkward haha.


🌟•Q: Do you create Non-Male/Female characters?

Nope, unless an object, all characters I make are either male or female, as my beliefs come into this also, even though in the fantasy world, there's special ones made for characters ppl create, which I count agree in the fantasy world. I enjoy giving my characters/adopts genders. If adopts is sold, that person is welcomed to make it how they want.


🌟•Q: What are your NSFW Limits, even with human/kemon, etc related characters?
Well, for NSFW of human/bodied characters, besides straight stuff only, I do have some small limits, like..

1: I wont draw males stretching their ass to the camera, or anything to do with giving off gestures of wanting anal or getting it like from a Dildo. In general.

2: I will draw Orgies, aslong as it's straight, like a male on the bottom, female in the middle, and male ontop, both entering her in/focused on her.

3: I won't draw males in feminine clothing, or female hips etc those things, you'd get an idea of the rest I won't do. Though I hate pink, I won't deny drawing the male character in pink clothes like shirts, pants, vests etc. Only possible exception to the male hips thing is anthros or ferals like Dinosaurs, those species made with thick hips for both genders like wickerbeasts, dutch angel dragons, etc other species.

You can ask if unsure/not on my wont draw list on my commission sheet.


🌟•Q: How do you deal with people posting things you don't like or disagree too.

I Ignore it, fake afk, or just make a simple reaction and leave it at that. Don't force me to compliment things you know I don't like, please. If I don't give you a bigger response to it like "Cute, ooo!, wow" etc to something you post, I most likely don't agree with something about it.


🌟•Q: What kinks scare or gross you most.....
Many kinks creep me out than what's on the most list, but these are tops. Im Lenient on kinks that are tame/appealing to most norms.

Most Grossed out by

Gore
Scat/Watersports
Pedophilia
Incest
Non-Food Based Vore
Feet/foot stuff

Least
SFW TF
Macro
Fruit Gore (It's weird but cute)
Chubby (mainly because I an relate to these.)
Hands/hand paws beans (Those dont stink/is gross like feet stuff etc)


🌟•Q: Why do you join Furry hosted sites if you're not a Furry or plan to ever be in the fandom etc?

A: Well, unless you know other popular sites that's human hosted/friendly like Deviantart, let me know. As all the art sites known besides DA is hosted by Furries; So Furry, Weasyl, Furaffinity, FurryNetwork etc. I post on these sites to let myself out there and be known, and I draw anthros anyway mostly, so why not.


🌟Q: Have you ever had times where someone stop buying stuff from you because you didn't draw something, which triggered them??

A: Yes, I rather stick to my morals and standards, than to break them to get profit. I don't sell out to my ways, that's that.


🌟Q: Why are you changing your adopt hold rule to 1 per person???

Example of what I have to go through, when it's 2 per person:

A: I make two adopts, post those 2 adopts, they both get on hold, most likely both from 1 person, or at times two different people. That's work I have to wait now to sell/make money, I go and make two more, those adopts get on hold also, like the first example or the other, that's 4 adopts I gotta wait up to a week to get sold..... and this is just two ppl, imagine making two more and they're all put on hold the same way as the first 4 but different people, 6 adopts I made under 2-3 days, I gotta wait to get paid for. instead..., so i'm stuck waiting instead of potentially making a faster sale to help me with something irl. I get discouraged to make adopts with that stress going on, and around the time I do, it's close to the hold's payment due time unluckily and there's a chance i'm gonna deal with another hold/s instead of seeing them get a chance to sell to someone new or to someone who buys adopts faster....so yeah

Adopts made by others don't normally even have holds for a week, so yeah, hope you can get what I mean. :D

I've been discouraged to make adopts like I use to because of this trend (Example is like when I use to make 5-6 adopts in one day type of encouragement). I've felt negative like this because almost every adopt I post, there's always a hold and barely a buy faster or right away situation instead and when I need money faster, im almost always waiting a whole week instead for each adopt that's on hold, and it's a pain in the ass since the holds overlap non-holds and buy right away sales. I'm happy ppl enjoy my adopts, but there's a limit that I can take that is inconvenient to me, and that's is there.

I admit, there's been times I didn't feel like taking some suggestions because if they're a super holder, i'd rather take suggestions from ppl who potentially buy adopts faster from me.

Example: "If you make this, I will buy asap!" (Ends up being a hold that lasts a whole week instead everytime, that encouragement trap smfh...)

BUT my mood towards this will change upon September 1st!


🌟Q: What's your biggest strength in your art???

Drawing dragons is my strongest strength in art, as you might notice. xD


🌟 Q: May I use your art for references?
A: Only thing I allow in this case is pose references, and NOT tracing. Anything else no. People buy this art from me or it's for sale, I don't want anyone copying my/their characters, adopts, commissions to benefit their own gains and adopts.


🌟 Q: May I use your art in general? Like Coloring a Lineart you've done and such.

A: Sorry but NO, unless you commission me or buy the artwork from me, adopts, etc. I don't like other people coloring my artwork in general, makes me uncomfortable, reason i don't do collabs. Just something about someone taking credit for doing artwork I created, irks me, no offense..... Also, I don't really do lineart commissions alone anymore atm, I usually get asked this when my artwork is in WIP mode, and that's already paid artwork..... unless it's a comic I made or something.
