These four bunnies are leading the way on a new adoptables page! *points to the right*

There’s a story that goes along with this. Once upon a time I used to hang around on Gaia Online a lot. For those not familiar, that’s a big forum with some games thrown in, and you buy clothes for a pixel doll avatar with gold you get from posting. From 2004-2006 that was a big part of my life, and being an artist, I spent a lot of time trying to get art commissions and running adoptable shops. Once and a while I would get a decent amount of Gaia gold from a sale but most of the time I was failing in a highly competetive community with artists much, much better than myself. There were even artists worse than me that were seeing better sales because they had more friends in the community. I tried a lot of different things and put a LOT of effort into my art, but no matter what I did, it seemed like it wasn’t enough.

It’s been over a year since I’ve been on Gaia and now I realize that all that time, I was just unhappy. I came up with a lot of great ideas and improved my drawing skills a lot, but I was looking to earn fake money and fake popularity, and I wasn’t getting it. Now I’m here on SanrioTown and trying adoptables again. What’s the difference? They’re free. SanrioTown doesn’t even have tradeable money (I dunno how things will change with HKO launching), and thus far everyone here has been really friendly, so there is no pressure here to succeed. I can make things fun again.

These first four bunnies are testing the waters for me, so I can see how many people are interested. Comment or email me if you have any feedback, please. At this point everything’s a blank canvas, I’m taking any suggestions.
