What do you do with characters you got for free from a CAAA event or request stream if you don't feel you have enough time to care for them?
If they're high quality I'll raffle them off, probably, or do a competition of some sort. If they are lower, I either bring up their value by commissioning or drawing a new ref/more art before returning to the raffle/competition plan of action.
What are some good ways to reduce the amount of characters you have, or to better manage them? Do you make a list of characters to get art of / make new refs etc?
Advertising your character sta.sh, Imgur/Photobucket file, or toyhou.se page on here and letting everyone know you have characters for sale is a great way to reduce the amount of charries you have and get something out of it. To better manage, I organize my pages well and make sure my main characters are always well treated - I try to draw something for myself at least three times a month. And yup. Lists rock.
Thanks for the great questions, Solloby!
