Yeah I understand! I wouldn’t do it just because you can get in trouble if caught, but it’s your decision in the end! 

Yeah, It's against the TOS and if they catch you, you can get in trouble or worse your account gets disabled. That's the reason why I no longer use IMVU credits as a form of payment as its no longer reliable as you can get in trouble and have your account taken away or banned for a period of time. In future just use Paypal if you want it in real-world currency vs virtual. It's unfortunate but its just the way it is now.  

I mean you probably could under the table, but I honestly wouldn't recommend it. IMVU will permanently disable your account if they find out that this has been happening & potentially ban any other accounts that you may have.

I can’t wait to see

Nekos,Bois,Puppys,and dark bbs like witches and demons

@Wrath

Yay! Thanks for your help! I have a lot of sketches to make then! 

@Princess

Thank you so much! 

missed your art !!!

@namjoon

Aww! Thank you for remembering! 

@Ophelia Well, I have had a few people who would try and set the DP as their profile picture but, there are size restrictions in terms of kb. I have tried compression tools and they work, but they make the drawing really pixelated and bad quality.

I wish I could help QoQ! You can always cut down on the animation, but that's not very fun! How big is the file size?

@Ophelia Sometimes it can be from 400kb to 10,000kb.

I... I really should research more about animation... 

This will all be up to your own personal liking, but here are a few ways you can blend, without over blending:

1) Opacity!  Changing the percentage of opacity on a brush will help you layer colours. Though i suggest using a soft brush than one with a hard edge, as you'll get quite a textured look if you use hard brushes.

2) Air brush! Air brush/ really soft brushes are used a lot, but are commonly over-used. They'll help you blend, but if you're not careful they can make your art look burred. How to avoid this? Use selections! I use free form selections (you just kinda circle stuff) and you can get sharp edges with well blended colours.  I'll usually use a massive brush size (600-1000) and use the very edge of the brush (as this is where the colour is less saturated) and than you can control how much you blend/erase.

3) Why not use both! I find using a bit of both methods gives the best results! it just depends on the size of your drawing and what kind of detail you want. I hope this helps! though, it's hard to explain without pictures.. 

@Meraki

WOOOOOOW...

Thank you so much for your advice! Argh, I am so happy I don't know what to say!

I used your advice to make a quick drawing. Actually, using your technique took me a lot less time than my usual drawings- IT'S ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

Awh haha, i'm glad I could help! 

Hi again  

I think $5-10 base price to begin with depending on style + complexity. i think that's like 4-8 gbp ?

+ additional 1-2 cost each for complex tattoos, blinking, other animations, detailed background, etc if you want. 

then increase your price or lower it depending on how well the shop is doing~

I don't have a shop but as a customer i think this would be good prices !! someone else can give their price ideas if they want !

Thank you so much!

A customer's always right, so definitely I agree with what you're saying ~

I think that I should just convert the amount of credits I ask for into mulla, which actually does add to $7-$10!

You're welcome qt, get that mulla! 

why )-:?

@namjoon

To be honest, I have not been able to sell artwork recently...

I will probably come back at some point but, I have been struggling a lot recently.

It is not that bad, I might try to draw something but, I will need to perfect my artwork a little more until then.

I also have a lot of important exams coming up, so I am trying to balance that at the same time as this.

Maybe, it is more advisable that I focus on that for now, until I get the grades I want.

Thank you so much for caring though, I really really appreciate it.

You're super lovely ~

d’aww I totally and absolutely understand where you’re coming from!! I wish you so much with school and your future art (-: 

Hi there!

I just read your status update and wanted to offer some advice, if that's okay! ^^

I understand what you're going through and it's very easy to compare your artwork to others, especially on any sort of art or social media platform. However, Art Haven isn't just host to artists of a specific style. Each style is welcome and everyone's own unique flair is admired. There may be a lot of anime style artists who own topics right now, but that doesn't mean other styles aren't available and quite frankly our site does go through various phases as artists experiment more with their styles. However, many people will look for a specific style for a specific original character they may have, as the style better suits the theme for that character, so having a variety of different styles on the site is always super awesome! It gives customers more options to have their characters expressed and drawn in certain ways, building them a story and adding personality. Growing and maintaining an audience anywhere can be quite difficult, but no artist has gained a following by not posting, advertising, or sharing their updates through an activity based stream such as a feed, radar, gallery, etc. 

My advice to you is to try to alleviate the amount of pressure you are putting on yourself, to not let comparisons to other people's styles, techniques, or artwork intimidate you, because ultimately we all start somewhere and sometimes it is a super bumpy road or even a rollercoaster (easier said than done, I know), Don't let it stop you or take the joy of art from you. You have to keep trying. Post status updates and gallery images with your art progress, updates on personal projects, experiments, or other things you're working on. Post in our premade market, free art section, offer your services in the request section, etc. Your audience will grow, I promise you that, it's only a matter of time! 

@ Caedis
