So CWs are incredibly complicated-looking from the outside and I'm not sure where to start, honestly! But I've been working on some things, and I'd like some feedback on a dress and a hair that I've drawn - whether you think they'd fit in on the current market, if there's be any interest in them, and any critique you have on them.

The Dress:

The Hair:

I haven't drawn preview items for them but I'll cross that bridge when I get there, I guess! Thank you for looking <3

Hey there ~ <3

I love the hair! Lines might be a tad too thin but otherwise it looks great! Nice and flowy :3

While I love the sparkly places on the dress, I'm not as sure about the hemline you drew. The details and everything are great - I'm just a little confused by how the dress curves up at either side. Is the dress flying up from wind? Or is it pinned up at the sides?

It may look a little more natural if you curve the hem a little less or draw a few peeks of ruffles from the back. (Not sure if this made sense XD)

If this is your first venture into CWs, I can for sure say you're off to an amazing start - I'm ashamed at what my first attempts looked like and I'm still learning anyway XD

The current market is rather slow compared to what it was a while ago - but it should pick up as the year continues / with more bonus weekends. Not sure about current demand for your items, but it seems that everyone is always looking for wigs - myself included :3 What I like to do before finishing up anything is doing a good search through subetalodge to see if there are any items out there that already match mine - especially non-CWs. Gives me a reason to release certain items and whatnot.

Hope all the nonsense I spewed will prove at least somewhat useful to you! Good luck and can't wait to see everything else you draw :3

Thank you so much! I went ahead and thickened up the lines on the hair, and it actually looks better.

Aaaand I'll admit, I wasn't thinking about the dress past "glittery, wide, and fluttery" - it would either be boned or have an oval hoop skirt underneath to keep it out like that. I'll try to use some actual forethought next time :P I'm awfully lazy but I can do a bit of a clean-up on the hem.

I really appreciate the reply! <3

Of course! ~

Ah I mean the shape with the hoop underneath kinda is fine I just mean the ends of the hem are a little far up for the bottom.

^ Something like that I mean. The "floor" of the HA is a bit further down. I'm not sure how much this really matters - just what my perspective is telling me! <3

I really adore this hairstyle. I'm definitely interested in seeing this onsite, especially the brown one P: I love brown. I do agree the lines need thickening (Not sure if that's showed here, or if these are the old lines, but the ones I'm seeing are very thin and because of the thinness they look colored instead of black like they should be :X) I probably wouldn't get the dress, but only because I don't use dress items that are super big. The artwork for it is very great though C: Might be a little too dark, but I'm not sure since everyone's monitors are a little different.

Is the dress an item you are interested in selling or planning on slotting on yourself?

Oh, I do see what you mean! The dress does come a bit further down than it looks - I tried to keep it close to the feet, though, because I've noticed with longer dresses, they often don't fit on the background very well :T you look like you're floating in front of it rather than standing on it. I was hoping to avoid that. However, I doooo need to clean up the hem. The more I look at it, the more the right side (our right) is bugging me.

Thank you! <:3 Yeah, Pika pointed out how thin the lines were, too. I edited it but haven't re-uploaded it yet! The dress is dark (I work on really bright screens :x) so I hope it isn't a blur on everyone's screen...

I was hoping on slotting it, since I do want to start a CW shop. I need to do some research into how it's done first.

Depending on color I would be interested in a slot. I'd be happy to give you pointers in setting up shop as well.

I would love some pointers, honestly!

And I just realized you do those pretty little sparkles - would you want me to see if I can color-match the dresses to any of them? (I did want to see if I can make white versions of them as well without having to reshade the whole thing.)

(I know I'm not supposed to like, fill slots in here, though. I don't have an official thread so I'll just take it as "yes, I approve," haha.)

Yeah, I would love one matched to the sapphire sparkles .

When you start a shop, have a friend post every other post for several posts so you can have more than one post to update information in. Browse through the other shops to see examples.

Generally things in in the 5000 category go for 700 each, 4000 for 600, etc. Start a ping group right away.

You can have a separate one for when you are selling a CW design and for when you are slotting (also used when someone else is slotting on a design they bought from you.) Feel free to comment me if you have any questions.
