Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Yeah it's not my primary income since I'm working and just doing art on the side seeing how the market is going. Haven't gotten any interest from people unfortunately and I think that is fairly good price, especially since I worked so long at it.
A large part of the issue may be that it’s a folder.
I’m generally buying three rings to be functional and usually hidden in a cabinet or shelf somewhere.
If I’m going to spend on art, I want it seen. Maybe a scrapbooker would be interested, where they tend to use them as coffee table books. But, it would be a distinct shame for me to stuff work documents into.
The painting itself is amazing. I like it. (And I actually kind of see some Where the Wild Things Are vibes… not entirely but enough for me get hit with nostalgia, heh.)
Absolutely agreed on the "it's a folder". To me, that gives very "school" oriented vibes, and I know when I was in school I sure didn't have money to spend on artful folders.
I like the painting too but I do think op would have more success on a different canvas. That said, if you're doing it for fun and not for money, keep it up regardless
