Selling art?

[ShudderSails]

Hello! Would anybody be interested in buying traditional art? With real world money though ? My partner and I are trying to see if theres actually a demand for art enough to set something up c: He's a way better artist than me and he can actually draw animals and aliens. I have a thread currently where I'm doing some freebies and you can see some of my art there. c:

The main question is: would you guys pay actual money for traditional art? (At the most it would be $5.00 USD )

to be honest it really depends, I know there are some people that successfully sell traditional art -- but that also includes sending off the artwork to the buyer rather than just taking a photo or scanning it.

Ah, yeah that makes sense, it also seems like you gotta be noticed/popular somehow for people to start asking for comissions. Sort of like, putting yourself out there first and THEN asking for payment.

The demand for buying art with RLC in general is quite low here on TBT too.

Please don't ever sell your art for so little. Nobody deserves to work and be paid literally nothing.

Also I think it might be better to try deviantART or other sites, the demand for paying in real cash doesn't seem high on TBT.

Ah, thankyou for the advice ☆ I don't know how deviantART works but I know its super popular. I'll look into it.
Also yeah, ive seen people prefer to pay 1000 TBT instead of $10 for somebodys chibis on here,,
