ive noticed lately that theres a lot of very talented artists on here that just come here to sell their stuff....anybody else notice that? the message board trades lately have dwindled....i deff.think there is a community here when it comes to having each others back and jumping on flippers but what about well stuff like the custom trades?....a very good example of a great artist doing something for the community is Mr.Tim Muntz... he saw that one of the last dunny trades didn’t have so many people on it so he offered up one of his customs as a give away for either someone who didn’t receive one or to do a drawing for at the end of that trade. I dunno I guess im just thinking because I keep being asked by people here and there to run another trade and when I do no one really signs up....thoughts???

maybe they just dont know? Im down. Helps me try some new stuff fine tune and get my stuff out there.

Time is a big factor as well. I myself am struggling to finish commission pieces for VERY patient members as well as start on some of my first dunny series.
But I really like the idea and I see it as a way to have fun and get my stuff out there.

Maybe the person who gets it loves it so much they want another piece or someone else on the boards sees it and wants you to do something for them.

Its all win win. you get a custom and you get your stuff circulating and being looked out with out asking someone to pay for it.

Thats my view though

it was better when there was a "for trade" sub-forum. but I agree, too many people just want to sell, aren't interested in trading.

and Timself, he's great guy for sure! :partyman:

Yea YoMi -we gotta bring the "Official Trade Only Thread" back

there used to be regular customs trades, but many people flaked, and there was a huge disconnect between skill levels. it's not really fun spending 40 hours on a custom and getting something someone crapped out between commercial breaks. also, the more talented artist that come on here to sell their work don't really need more toys, and many of them live off their art. taking time and making a custom to trade means they are not making a living.

true. Its def a gamble if you get something good or not. In the end its something to do for fun.

Maybe there should Be a time cap on the making of the customs. Like no more than 5hrs of time. I don't know I'm not an artist. Just a thought

MEGAMIXBLASTER · **Posted:** Fri Jun 29, 2012 1:43 pm

why does it when you buy a item...then a week later or so...it shows in the items for sale for waaaay cheaper than you bought it for....im shaking my head now....
