remember .. artists are delicate and sensitive creatures. They get mopey and depressed at the drop of the hat. Unfortunately they also stop making things. We want more content options right? well .. play nicely with artists and encourage them to make things. :)
Unfortunately, when we do that, they make things, the sales don't go very well, then they complain that people are constantly promising to buy things in the forums but never keep the promise, and they declare that they'll never make anything for a new character again.
I think we see, very clearly now, how this happens.
That's exactly what I was getting at.
I'm all for encouraging vendors to make things for my favourite characters, but don't want to raise their expectations for sales when it's something that doesn't interest me and I'm not going to buy.
If someone posts a wip that I like and know I'll buy then I'm happy to say so, so they'll know they have at least one little sale guaranteed for all their hard work ;)
