Would you buy my art?


I began creating digital artwork about a year ago. Recently I have opened a store on Etsy.com to sell my art. I have begun slowly to see if I get any positive feedback. Unfortunately I have not had much feedback at all. Please take a look at my store at MelissaBailey.etsy.com and tell me what you think so far. Also, this site http://www.freewebs.com/baileymama/photo... had my entire Photoshop gallery of what I am capable of doing.

Any feedback is appreciated.

I love your work. It is fun and interesting. I mostly would use it online in some way, website backgrounds or avatars... But not to hang in my house or anything. I do love the letters you did.

If I saw something I liked, and it was priced decently, perhaps.

I like the very last image on your freewebs site. Artistically speaking, that is a very marketable look. Unfortunately, the other very 3-d looking stuff, while cool, may not be something others will pay for. There is a big trend right now to keep things from looking like they were made on the computer. Anything you can do to keep it looking hand-done will help. Do you start your designs with sketches or on the computer? Try starting w/ your hands. It looks like you have great photoshop skills. Keep practicing and look around to see what others are able to sell for inspiration. Good luck!

No I wouldn't. As a designer, I find your work very flat and it reminds me of amateur photoshop filters. There is no dynamic cropping, typography is very poor too. I don't mean to put you down, but from a professional standpoint, your work in my opinion has no chance. Even a lot of work on deviantart.com is a lot richer. Maybe try and get some inspiration from there?

And my richer, I don't mean it has to have a lot of stuff, but interesting layout, cropping, and color.
