I've got this idea for these ferrets that have elements of fantasy creatures (dragons, unicorns, harpies, gryphons, mermaids, etc...) and I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in them.

Here's some WIPs of the base I'd be using with some sketches of some rough fantasy elements on them.

Here's the Unicorn:

Here's the Dragon:

Here's the Pegasus:

And Here's the general finished colouring style on a base without any augmentation. I used fairly normal ferret colours for it but most of these adoptables would have more fantasy like colours I think. I don't think I'd restrict it to just ferret like markings on them. I think I'd pull from other animals as well as some weird fantasy swirls and stuff.

Thoughts? What would you guys price these at? I was thinking 5 GB/8000 SB but I don't know what I'd charge in USD. Comments are greatly appreciated!

I find these adopts very intriguing. I'm especially interested in what the harpies, gryphons, and mermaids would look like. I'm already hooked to the Pegasus ferret. The only part of this whole deal that worries me is the price. I understand that it's high quality art but it's a bit expensive. I'm not sure if anyone else does this but I sell my leftover carcasses to the Monkey Business every three days. And usually only get around 500-600 (if I'm lucky, sometimes I barely get over 300) SB per sell. Now I'm going to divide 8,000 with 600 and I got 13. 13 times 3 would get me 39. So it would take me 39 days (over a month) to scrap enough currency to buy one. Another reason I believe the price should go down is because I tend to see good adopts (with high prices) never sell. Maybe make it 4 GB/3000 SB/3.50 USD? Because it would only take me like 15 days to get enough currency to buy one. (3000 divide by 600 would equal 5. 5 times 3 would equal 15.) But it's really up to you. I can always find ways to scrape enough currency together to buy one if I was dedicated enough. I just don't want these adopts to sit around not being bought because the price range is a little stretched out for others.

That's a really good point! Thank you so much for you input. The prices were something I was really struggling with, but your advice has really struck home and I like the prices that you've suggested.

Thank you so much for your help! :D I'll most certainly be putting up an actual adoption thread either this weekend or sometime this week. ^^

for price, maybe simple designs with less features for cheaper and more elaborate designs going up to 5gb?

I agree, less detailed babs should probably be something like 3 GB, and rarer/more detailed ones could be somewhere around 5. ^^ I'll definitely be sticking around as well, I love ferrets!

They look awesome! I think the price should be around 3 - 5 GB! c:
Unfortunately I don't have 5 GB but if I did, I'd definitely buy one!

Thank you so much everyone for you input!!! I think that's a really reasonable way of looking at it.
So what I'm thinking is 3-5 GB/2000-5000 SB/$2.50-$4.50USD. Does that sound like a reasonable price point across the board? ^^

Sounds good! :D
And maybe like, 5 GB base price for customs, and prices would increase a bit depending on the rarity of the ferret's chosen fantasy elements?

Ohhhhh!!! I like that a lot! ^^ In that case I think I'd want to release 3 pre made ferrets at a time (ranging from the lowest price to the highest) and then one custom slot that starts at 5GB. That would be an interesting opportunity for sure!
