I forget to say in the SJW art thread, but the designs are hideous, which is a shame too, cause the fox girl would have been a cool character if it didn’t have the identity politics thrown on it.
The creator could have made the design more simple and easier on the eyes. Like, I can’t tell what kind of creature this thing is.
Yeah it would look better if they got rid of all of the eyes and 6 nipples and tone it down with the fluff.
Apparently there a closed species called Impims .
It says a lot about how samey these things are that I immediately assumed this was just a weird Grem design.
It's definitely still a thing people having fursonas and also having characters alongside it for stories or rp or whatever who are not representations of themselves, but yea, the whole adoptable market is literally just buying a character because it's 'rare' or something and often just reselling it again once it has enough new art to raise the price. It's incredibly disconnected from the idea of having deep, meaningful characters for your own universes and more along the lines of trading cards.
Character adoptable are just the furry stock market.
Either that or the fetish shit down the alley. There's three options.
Yep I can tell you that closed species and adoptables are some of the biggest rip-offs that i'v ever seen . I would love to a thread on the closed species and adoptables community but i'm too much of a lazy new fag.
People like buying shit from artists they like, even more if buying that art gives them licence to use the character involved for personal stuff. Not everyone is an artist so the "just design your own" argument doesn't really work unless the buyer is also a character designer. Buying adoptables is literally just paying someone to do a job you can't do.
Basically, I've seen big artist put people on their blacklists just because they had no idea they sold or traded designs by that artist to other people on that blacklist because they changed handles/names. I've seen artist blacklist people because they have a similar style even. The thing is there's very few artists who have a legally binding T.O.S. The people selling on deviantart or furaffinity more than likely have no lawyer that can make their T.O.S actually hold meaning. They just typed out all the rules themselves and no one is bound to follow them because shockingly whoever is paying for the character or design is no the copyright holder for it. They own all rights to it. Yet you have the designers yank characters away for small things without refunding and then reselling them to other people. You just have to be super careful and look around to see if the designer has a bad history.
Scarfoxes, Grems, and Cinnadogs are some of the worse closed species. Scarfoxes are usually upwards of a couple of hundreds to thousands of dollars to get and their fans will attack anything even with large scarf hands as being a fake scarfox. Grems are generally shitty and will now permanently ban/blacklist you if you void a grem from being in the species (Basically saying you no longer want them to be a Grem and don't want them on the masterlist) even if you made the design yourself and not the owner or a guest artist. Cinnadogs I've heard the owner of has had a bad history of design theft, character revoking, and generally tism fits that makes the species a nightmare to deal with.
What you said makes me think we should have a closed species thread, what do you guys think?
