oh i didnt mean to attack you, thats on me and im sorry about that. but yeah similar to what the anon said above, august has made skins for years so naturally he has a way higher audience for the skins he makes. but variety is a huge point in why he *is* so popular. he is just really flexible in a lot of subjects, and that probably contributes to why people are willing to bet on a completely unknown skin. its about how much people like his past archives rather than it being a joke- if someone else who didnt have the same following as him that hes built over years did the same bit, it would not have gone as hard. im even willing to bet if someone else that is considered just as popular wont be able to create this sort of reach.

i know you werent looking for any particular advice, but if you arent already, basing skin colors on scry shop/existing dragon colors helps sales a lot when they match peoples dragons. i find people like clean lines a lot. i dont know what your shop looks like but its the two basic things i follow. <3
