So I thought this was amusing and and wanted to share it here. The other night I had a dream I was doing commissions on dolls, I was so excited to be making money doing something I love and it was awesome. Then I woke up. I guess it wasn't really funny to anyone else, but I thought it was amusing, because hey who wouldn't want to do that? For a brief moment after I woke I was like OH I should do that, then I woke up the rest of the way. Being able to make money off of art is my dream, both literally and figuratively now. How about that.

The only problem is you couldn't use anyone else's bases just your own. I've seen a few do that, even entertained it myself.

Exactly. I mean, not being able to use other's bases isn't what holds me back, I mainly use my bases these days anyway. What I think holds me back is not seeing a market for them, maybe I just need to do more digging I don't know. I would have no idea how to price them either, they're just little dolls not huge images with lots of detail and difficult backgrounds. But ah I guess it doesn't matter. I see people making pixel icons I guess that's close, but it's the closest I've seen to this.

Hm, I didn't know that was ever a thing, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's gone. You can't even categorize art anymore. Honestly I hate eclipse and everything about it, I'm still wondering if I want to quit DA altogether.

Might be a good time to restart doll sites tbh. I still have one.

Yeah themaunster has some YCH(your character here) bases. Queen of Rainbow(I think) and therainbowoverlord did some

I've come across at least two currently active page doll makers in the last few minutes on DA.

I say we do it! I miss sites. The only reason I haven't quit DA already is because I haven't found a good alternative, as terrible as eclipse is it still has plenty of content.
Those names aren't ringing a bell for me I guess I haven't seen them.

Page dolls? Maybe I should see what I can find.
