What would you do in my situation? Use the art and pay if they answer/talk to you about it. Take it as a gift? What solution would you come up with?Did their shop mention anything about it being free? If not, I would message them again asking what they'd like as payment (if they meant it as a gift they'll probably say so in their response). And if that fails, I'd either go off their shop prices (if there are any) or just send them a trade with what you think the art is worth and ask them to message you if there's a problem with what you offered. Hopefully they'll answer.
Would anyone be interested in a 1000 point art and design contest? I totally would!
What are your deal breakers when it comes to buying characters and characters in general?Hair on ferals (I mean full on human hair, not fur or manes). I've seen so many designs that would probably be dreamies for me if not for the fact they had hair. I don't know why but seeing a dog or cat with long flowing locks sprouting out of their head make me instantly dislike them OTL
I've been restricted to mobile for a while so I haven't been able to post anything, but I got a toon of new art and characters!

I bought this rascal from whisky (art/design by them). I haven't come up with a name for them yet, but it'll probably be something dessert related since he's made of chocolate. I'm leaning towards Pudding. I also ordered a piece of art of him:

By Svel.

I also won my second PTP. His name is Rufus. Art/species by Calix, design by whisky (again x3).

This cutie is Peanut Butter, designed by Airashi. The art and species are by Schnuffel Bunny.

And lastly on the character front, meet Igneous the Indominus Rex! Design/art by dragon whispers, species is from Jurassic World of course.
I've gotten lots of art too but I'll post just a few to keep my post from getting too much longer.



Some sparkly eyes of my sonas and JBD by the amazing Celozon. These are beyond adorable and really cheap too, I highly recommend checking out their shop!



A few of the summer themed pieces I ordered of Bumble, Ebony, and Ivory by KenazRavenTooth.

And lastly, 4dogowner/Haagen-Daggen colored Bailey in on their super cute Pitbull lines. <3
