The Museum.

[Ragdoll]

The two reasons why I oppose buying art for real cash:

1. Pricing is pretty high for one sketch. I mean, $5 for a drawing exclusive to TBT. A McDonald's large drink has more value than that, and you can get one for a dollar alone (unfortunately, you have to pay the tax too).
2. I don't believe in trading real world currency over virtual items when I can use real money for anything. Virtual items have no value in real life, and it's not worth spending money for nothing (donating to charity is worth a lot, so that's one thing).

There was a really good artist that charges cash, but there is a reason. She doesn't like collectibles, so there's no reason to use TBT bells. In my opinion, it's better off to hoard TBT than to charge real money for site-exclusive stuff (except for real world items since they have real worth).

$5 is actually rlly inexpensive, i usually charge $8-$10 for my art, but thats just me :/

btw i never opened a shop here/requested a commission from anyone here so i wouldnt know the rate hehe

I didn't know people were selling for real money until after I started my thread in the Museum. I'm not against someone trying to make a profit for their hard work, but my question is for the buyer... What's the point of spending real cash? I mean of course it's to have something made specifically to your liking, but what do you really get out of it? I'm pretty sure some people have their reasons. Right? I mean... even I like to splurge on useless stuff. I even spend money on FA... hehe, but at least when I spend money there for their art, something comes out of it. Sorry if I'm being vulgar, but I don't have any other way to put it. lol

You'd lose your mind to know what I charge for a 3D model in that case.

Just out of curiosity, how much do you charge for a 3D model? I've never really thought about selling any of mine, but it would be interesting to know how profitable it would be.

I can't believe all this sparked from a vent.
Two words, people.
CALM DOWN

 

[TaliZorah]

This is an old argument.
No reason to still be bickering about it tbh.

That's really rude to people who work hard on their art. People deserve to charge what they deem appropriate for good art. If you want good art without having to pay for it, either find a different artist or develop your own art skills. No need to put down people's work. Calling art "nothing" is totally and completely wrong. Even something you see online can elicit a reaction from you, and if people want to pay or charge money for digital art, let them.

I'm getting sick of people putting me down for voicing my opinions on this site. I have the right to post, and I don't like that you're trying to get this harsh on me, and you're not the only one who's putting me down.

On topic:

In what cases were people being impatient? I don't pay much attention to the museum anymore.

pulling the "it's just my opinion" card for rude statements doesn't help.

This wasn't limited to here, but can we stay on topic? If you wanna talk to me about it, please VM/PM me.

Umm as far as I'm aware, the thread that sparked this thread in the first place had nothing to do with selling art for real money so idk what you guys are on about?? Like I read the posts in question and I assume the point got lost in translation by the OP?

But if we are gonna continue on this tangent then large mcdonalds drink =/= $5 value js get your facts right, making up numbers just makes your entire argument moot

I don't think that was the point and what thread are you all going on about?

 

[spCrossing]

I have no idea what's going on there anymore, honestly I haven't been there in a while.

By the looks of things...it doesn't sound good...at all...

Oh, and your quote about artists getting majorly overlooked....
Story of my art in a nutshell, like seriously.

Sometimes I can strike lightning a few times here and there, but my art REALLY gets overlooked a lot, especially on tumblr, where the art community there is so hypocritical.

The museum is pretty strange atm, I remember when people made art for tbt, and the shops were in the marketplace, now we have chibis or pixels kawaii sugoi desu for rlc. And the people is "OMGGG ART HOW CUTE WOAAAH"

Why this happened
