Refreshing this because it still applies. From now on there will be little tolerance for the complaints of prices being too high on commissions (as well as adoptables). These things take time and with adoptables -- while I may use my own base I often alter and rework it for each specimen. We're talking at least 6-10 hours on adoptable sheets alone and on commissions... Sometimes that time tally can double (even triple). It may seem like I can crank out art fast because I've worked myself into having a decent turnout time -- However, that is mostly due to the fact that I do not take on many things at a time and therefore can put my focus on

Coming up with interesting, accurate poses for your characters can be difficult. Either they all end up looking the same, or the poses just don't look right. Drawing from a reference is a great way to practice this. Luckily, there are lots of amazing resources available to help you out, both here on DeviantArt and one the big bad WWW. I've listed the ones I know here, so you don't have to do the digging. - I've picked resources that focus on poses, not on anatomy. This means that the drawn pose references listed here are not necessarily anatomically correct. Though the two are definitely related, to me they're not necessarily the same thing.
