Until I've found a way to fix it, we'll need to do it this way.

Karijn-s-Basement In reply to FluffTheKitten [2018-01-14 17:22:23 +0000 UTC]

This is the first Journal installment that explains what adoptables are and how they work (the rest is linked at the bottom of that first Journal): Adoptables, Basics for AdoptersSince I've been asked these questions a lot, I thought to write some journals about it. This is from an Adopter's point of view.
What are adoptables?
Adoptables are "designs" that you can purchase for your personal use or, in specific cases and only if the original artist permits it, for commercial use. They can be animals, humans, objects... Anything and everything can be turned into an adoptable.
What exactly *is* it that I'm adopting?
You're adopting the *design* itself, not the colours, not the art, just the character design.
Take this adoptable:

Art = The drawing itself = Right remains to the artist, unless stated otherwise
Original Species = The lines = Right remains to the artist, unless the species is for adoption too (Not valid in case of existing species such as wolves, cats, etc....)
Colouring = Black coat/Golden wings/Pattern on Tail = Right remains to the artist
Design = (Original Species + Colouring)

If you have more questions after reading those, I'll be happy to answer.

Karijn-s-Basement In reply to PastelleOasis [2017-08-17 07:29:50 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it is, just keep in mind that it will require an extra preparation step though, so scanning or taking a picture of it. Here are some tips for you: Adoptables, Doing It Traditional

Excuse me but how do I receive/pay points?

Karijn-s-Basement In reply to sneekayyy [2016-11-07 11:56:03 +0000 UTC]

You either set up a donation pool/click donate on a donation pool, or use the Give>Points button you can find on every deviant's main page. If you want to convert points to money you have to either click on a Purchase Button or set one up through the Premium Content option in the submission process. Or through a Commission Widjet, if you want to make one.

Karijn-s-Basement In reply to KittyTheCorgi [2016-08-20 08:16:13 +0000 UTC]

There is a Journal linked in the description about pricing your adopts, you can find some indications there.
