First Time creating an Adoptable! Pricing & Tips appreciated <3

First Time creating an Adoptable! Pricing & Tips appreciated <3

Hello lovely people! I'm relatively new to the world of adoptables, and nowadays I come across them more so in places like VGen (though many years ago I looked through ToyHouse for this thing and there seems to be an active community still), so I wanted to have a go at creating my own and I'd really love to continue creating them!

I'm also looking to create a video going over my process of making my first adoptable, so any insight and advice for beginners generally would be appreciated to also include in this video!

This is my first one and I've looked around at pricing and tried to set it around similar quality art & designs, but I'm worried I'm overpricing a little (at least, for my very first adoptable ever). She's a cute deer girl inspired by j-fashion and the final design includes high quality PNG versions of this art & character design (unwatermarked), and an additional sheet that details some of her nude fur markings & colours.

I've priced it at £80 base (with +£20 for commercial: content license, think VTubing or content creation). I'm wondering if it should be closer to the £55 - £65 base mark though. I have seen adoptables priced around my base price as well, but not sure if they're only able to price at that mark because they've already built up trust and reputation with buyers.

Within 14 days of buying I am also offering 40% of my usual commissions with this character! For those who also do commissions, have you ever offered anything like this alongside an adoptable sale? I'm not sure if it's overkill >.>

In any case, my listing is just linked below, and any advice or insight is appreciated, either about adoptables in general or about my pricing. Thank you! <3
