So, I&;m not entirely sure what&;s going on, or why everyone always has bought something before I am selling something and so can&;t buy it... or don&;t even say a thing- but I&;m probably going to grab all the designs I have and sell them flat out to the first people that want them.</p>
<p>I would love to open commissions- but I won&;t bother if I don&;t think anyone actually wants my work. I know that sounds harsh, but- I&;m not sure if it&;s timing or lack of a stable site or disinterested in my style. I guess mostly I&;d like to really know what to expect so I can go forward with my art.</p>
<p>I&;ve had more than once thought of writing how I feel about this on one of my boards, but instead shut my mouth to keep from looking like a whiny baby. But I&;d like to know my work is worth the effort, or else I&;ll simply stop making designs to sell. If you still want me to open commissions, please also let me know... 8I

I'm in the same boat and broke at the moment to buy anything new. I had a dog get really sick and after an idiot vet gave me a wrong treatment path, $200 later and seeing a different vet he is on the mend, but will need checked weekly by the vet for several weeks plus meds for rest of his life. Plus realized my car is due for inspection and junk this week. I had just bought a design from someone and they had to wait for me to pay for a week because of everything.

I did miss the dress design you referenced to because I wasn't in the ping group (somehow was only in your live stream ping). But I think money is issue for alot of people.

I love your work and have bought many of your items, released by you or others. Your style is beautiful and you have amazing ideas. I especially love the flower crowns yet also many other things. Sadly, economy is down and I can´t really afford buying designs and releasing them. I wouldn´t say your designs are too costly, no. It surly takes many hours to do an adorable design and it should be compensated. It´s just the lack of gaming money. I keep my fingers crossed we´ll see many other designs of yours, though. I try my best to slot on as many gorgeous items as possible. <3

I like your art. I like that pin curls wig. I don't like auctions.

Since I feel like this comment was directed towards me I will explain . . . I should not be spending real money on ANYTHING on this site. I have many real life priorities that deserve my money instead of pixels. In a weak moment I bought a design. I cannot explain the guilt I am feeling for that since parts of my house are falling apart. I am sorry that your design wasn't posted before the one I bought. And I am sorry that your wig wasn't a flat sale.

Every week I go through an internal struggle with continuing my CW addiction. Every week I tell myself that "this is the absolute last one". As I mentioned before, my house is falling apart and needs ALL of my money. Then people like you produce beautiful art and I cannot resist. The CW market is so flooded right now so you should not feel badly if your stuff is not selling immediately. I cannot be the only user who shouldn't be spending their money on a virtual website. We live paycheck to paycheck. So, try not to take it personally that something doesn't sell right away. 😊

i will admit i struggle financially, most of our money goes towards our bills since i am struggling to find a job, not only that but im in canada for 5k csc its almost 63CAD, 3weeks ago, it was close to 74CAD if not more

i apologize again if ive contributed in part to how you feel, but im positive that its nothing personal against you from any user, the economy on site and IRL is crap and the sites been very buggy lately

Thanks for your feedback/info guys. I do understand financial troubles, I myself am in the same boat (I'm living with my parents after all)- so I get that, that's why I've been trying to supplement our income with a bit extra money from commissions and such. And Mister_ed, I've actually had a couple people say that to me in the recent past, so I just thought it was weird to be the same thing said- but no worries. Real life is more important by far than pixels on a screen- that's why I don't spend real money on cws myself. If I didn't make them myself, I wouldn't own any xD.

That's why it's hard to be an artist, and where the term 'starving artist' comes in. It's really a luxury to buy art, so when RL expenses come in, artists really get the shaft. I guess I'll have to concentrate on other things atm. Again, thanks for letting me know and being honest.

I am seriously gonna cry if you decide NOT to do commissions. I have been WAITING for the day so eagerly. ;_; I love your art style, I believe the first few CWs I ever bought on this site were done by you and I STILL have them.

I don't think it's your art, I think it's more the economy in general. It could also be the inflation of CSC (I'm one of those users that buy CSC from User Shops and the price right now is INSANE -__-) So yea, PLEASE don't beat yourself up. Your artwork is stunning and you're hands down one of my fav artists onsite.

@Cresenta I'm beginning to realize that people don't like auctions at all. Honestly, I'd rather ppl posted and say "I love this design, but I hate/abhor/loath auctions". lol. You know? If ppl hate auctions, I'll def never do them again- if it means actually selling something after all. I hear ya about the price of sP in shops. I hate that csc/sP ratio is so high atm too- and I wish staff would do something to bring it down- but I guess they're concentrating on other things atm.

Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it. =)

No I get you. I'm on the fence with auctions. Like if I have enough CSC to get into a bidding war, I'm okay with it. But then I'd just AB it if there is a AB price. I hate waiting xD

I wish. Ever since they started the Black Friday sales it has just gotten worse and worse -_-

Aww yw. I mean it. <3

@Cresenta True. Still, the silence is maddening (and since I don't know the reasons, I tend to jump to the worst conclusions 8I Bad habit).

Yeah... rather irritating with the csc prices that way. They've put csc in the free shop before to help, but who knows if they'll do that again, unless they see less spending overall and realize that not everyone wants to spend real cash on fake online stuff. (I know I don't really).

Nah I understand, I do that too. It's only human. ^__^

I dunno, I wish they'd find SOME way to fix it. I never had much luck with grabbing free CSC that way. I did win that one time they did that Major Drills 500 CSC quest thing so that was nice. :D

Any time anything is made into a competition, I steer clear. Auctions/Holiday threads/etc. But I am also a picky little shit with my moolah. I love purple, but I generally don't get anything frilly hardly ever.

That being said, if I had the money I would commission you for OC art.

To be honest, I don't mind auctions but prices tend to go too high from bidders for me to buy hence why I prefer flat sales. And yes, csc prices needs to drop badly. >.<

I love your art, but just don't have the money or CSC to buy your designs. (The one time i bought a design it was a flat sale, and I had just enough csc)It makes me sad to see you not getting any bidders, but it seems other people are in the same situation. If I had a job, I would totally buy a design from you!

Honestly, I think it's a mix of bad timing/can't afford it. The bad timing isn't really anyone's fault, it's just that CSC is expensive right now and a lot of us don't have the USD to spend. I've never had any USD budgeted for Subeta, sadly. I've also never bought a CW design, since I prefer to keep my precious CSC for multiple things. Buying a design (if I can even afford it) is a risk that doesn't always pay off as an investment, and if I really like it, it's usually just better for me to wait for someone else to buy it and hope they make it public.

@Cresenta Yeah, me either. lol. I never get anything good from the free shop. I don't have a lot of time to spend grabbing out of it all the time after all. So it's good to know I'm not alone xD; (lol sorry xDD)

Yeah, I've never bought anyone else's stuff- collabed with a few other artists, but if I didn't make the cws, I probably would never buy a design to sell either. I'm picky like that with my money too. 8I Usually my holiday threads tho aren't meant to be competition, just fun so I can give away stuff. xD;

Yeah, that's what a few others have said, so I totally get that. I don't think I'll bother with auctions in the future, they don't seem to do well at all for that very reason.

Yeah, it's still good to hear someone else remind me of that fact or help me understand things better cuz when no one says anything, I don't know what's going on and I just get all defeated. So thanks. =)
