The market has been dead so prices are to be determined.

I say a good rate right now might be somewhere between 2k-4k per 10 runes. If people aren't selling after a couple of days try offering more.

You can enter my coloring contest! ^_^

I'll also try and sell some after I get my first paycheck. Ho ho ho first paycheck *rubs hands together*

I'm such a sucker for wings though.

You can pay your thanks with that nice juicy arm you got there.

[trystan830]

nice juicy .... what?!?!

just cause you're a tiger....!

[Illusion]

Doesn't mean I don't have to eat meat?

I'm a stereotypical gentleman tiger thank you kindly. I also enjoy the buttocks of swine, that is also another valid form of payment.

[trystan830]

well you can't have my arm as payment... i've grown attached to it!

[Glitch]

You should eat the hamsaurus.

[trystan830]

i like ham..... ;)

Omg one of my designs from a contest years ago was used as a Yearly item design! WOW! Haha. I love CupcakeDolly's additions to it, also.

[trystan830]

wow that's awesome, ginger!

[Glitch]

I hope you like it!!

Unfortunately I have to agree with some of the negative feedback already given.
The yearlys this time are...disappointing? There's a few different reasons behind this and I'm going to explain myself here in a moment. I'd just like to say before that I understand that you did the best you could with what you can do/time restraints/other reasons. That's not what I'm criticizing at all and having been an avatar artist for years I understand better than the majority of people. So please don't take this personally, I'm not meaning it that way. more like advise that your free to take or discard if you'd like.

All of the sets have problems and it's not something I didn't expect. It's hard to fill someone else's shoes, especially if their better then you (both of us).

The best one art wise is Power Suit and even then the pigtails are...really odd. I know exactly what you were going for and it's a really interesting idea that I would have never thought of. The execution just isn't there. I'm not talking about the shading or anything like that. I'm talking about the blur used. There are other ways of making that look a lot better.

The Trisphee Heroes is probably the worst in my opinion and show a bare bones understanding of how to make tool shading items. However, if your the the one to make all of the items then I can see the progression you've made and damn you've gotten a lot better. Possibly better than me at this point. ha.

The personal gripe I have, which is very subjective...I hate super hero themed items. Not really hate, but I don't like the overarching theme here so I won't end up buying any of them. It would be more advisable that you do things related on a much broader theme like 'fashion' and don't make them all references to things. now, I don't know if you were given a theme to work from or not. If you where then I can understand that you didn't have a choice. I just feel it would have been better to have a few very different items, that way you could please more people. The vast majority of users here will buy about anything you give them (most sites are like this), but with the wider range of things you would pull in the people like me that definitely will not buy certain things.

I think I agree with the sentiment that we should have a broader thematic variety in the yearlies rather than making them all fit a central theme. We've got monthlies (and potentially seasonals) that can have coordinated themes; yearlies are in the shop for far too long to not offer different styles of items for different interests. We'll call this a lesson learned for the future. :)

I'm pretty sure Glitch is aware of the technical shortcomings of how the items are pixeled. We're proud to have her on staff, and given how quickly she got these done and how well she DID do on them, I have high hopes for future items.
