I'm torn. Between commission blocs, should* I work on adoptables or porn auctions today?
(* I'm not asking "what do you want to buy" here, just flipping an internet coin, haha.)
Aah! I'm not sure it's my thing really, but I support your art no matter what, so just... have a blast or something! (Do you have recent examples of your adoptables, too?)
Aha, apologies if I made you uncomfortable there. I draw Weird Stuff sometimes.
Here's my adoptables folder! And thanks for the support, I do appreciate knowing people like my art. Whatever flavor of strangeness they prefer.
Nooo you didn't make me uncomfortable! I'm totally fine. I just don't want you to be all disappointed if I'm not over-excited and commenting all over the porn auctions. They look great! Just not a turn-on for me. ^_^"
(I do like the idea of "porn adoptables" suggested in a common below, ahah. I don't know how that would work out but it sounds really fun to implement!)
Aah yes, I remember your adopts! I liked the raptor ones the most. :D Feather-fluff. <3
Heh. Actually, at least in terms of the ratio of time invested to money received, adoptables vs. adult auctions works out pretty close to even for me. I'm willing to accept I may be Doing It Wrong, of course.
Really? I find that porn/YCH/prepose/etc auctions tend to sell waaaaaaaaay higher and get way more bids than adopatables do.
Really! I could show you the math if you want, but adoptables take me very little time to do compared to YCH auctions, so broken down into $ per hour, it comes out about equal.
Do you run auctions here, or on FurAffinity? That might also be a contributing factor; I occasionally advertise auctions-in-progress on FA, but I don't post there any more.
I usually handle business stuff through FA since that is, unfortunately, where most of my followers are at this point. Also, I've only ever observed others' auctions on FA - haven't ever seen one run here that I can remember.
I'm on my 15th Weasyl-exclusive auction. A few other people run them here; Arabesque is the only name popping into my head, but I know there are a handful of us. You're right, though, most people who post porn/pinup YCH auctions here hold the bidding on FA.
It's possible porn does better on FA -- I see a lot more general-audience stuff here -- but I also see a lot of adult YCH auctions on FA that close with no bids, so I assume the major determining factor of auction/adoptable sales success is "audience". Which... I'm working on. :>

I'm curious about the porn auctions.
