I think your sigs and icons look quite nice, so I'd say to go for it if you have the time :-]
GIFs of animated in-game scenes would be especially cool to offer. Seriously.

Though I'd recommend fixing something before opening (which is seen in the sig below)

When the villagers move up, the black outline becomes a bit glitchy.
What program do you use to make these? Because if you use PS I could possibly help you fix this/find a solution ;-]
 
I've never seen tags incorporating IG footage. I'd say go for it.

Ohh, thank you! I know! I wish I. had a capture card... . :(

Thank you! I use gimp :) i know what i did wrong and how to fix it. The idea to have them moving was one of my last, and i had already been working on it for a while, so im gunna have to be honest, i had just gotten lazy! Lol. I just need to delete the layers under them so the previous pixel wont show. Id make sure someone else's was fine (of course) but this one is mine and i dont mind it much, but youre right! :)

Ah, that's good. I never used GIMP to make animations so I wouldn't have been able to help in the case that you didn't know what to do. So fortunately you were just lazy about it, haha.

So yeah, good luck with hosting an art shop if you ever decide to open one, and hopefully you get some more opinions from different members :-]

The signatures with in game footage and icons with the actual mayor are really cute! I'd say go for it, especially since there isn't anyone doing that right now! There may be a lot of signature/icon shops, but none of them are like yours so I'd encourage you to do it (before someone else does! D:< )
 
i love the idea of having IG footage! it looks so cute ;u; especially the second one! pls do~
 
Go for it! Your sigs are very nice! If you're looking for prices, I would range it around 100-250 TBT? Sounds good to me! Good luck if you do make one! :)

Thank you! Considering that this is an Animal Crossing based forum, I was honestly really surprised when I saw that no one else has done this. I know right! Watch tomorrow other people start doing it (if they even saw this thread) lol. Thank you, I think I will...!

ohhh my gooosh.... I have your art paged bookmarked!! It's how I get back to the site after I've closed the tab and I'd go to anyways because I'm checking for when you're opening it again! Haha! I've gotta say, your art is GORGEOUS and I would love to one day get a piece from you! I will wait patiently, though...

Anyways!

Thank you :] I wish I had a capture card to create better quality, but they're expensive! :[ I'm glad you like them :D

Oh, thank you for the input on prices, I was actually really at a loss with what'd I'd price them at. I'm glad you said something about pricing :] Thank you :]
 
I OPENED ONE! :D We'll see how it goes :] Regardless as to if it works out or not, I appreciate everyones input here :D
