Well, things have not worked out well so I'm very near to closing this place now.
I thought this would be a good place to sell my work and that has not turned out to be the case - sales and requests for prints have been almost nil and unless things turn around I will cancel my account and give this place up for good.
I am reluctant to do this, but after many years of trying to find out what people actually want to buy, I have have concluded that they don't want to buy anything...
Final decision pending.
Thanks to all my followers again, you have been great.

I don't have a paid DA account for this reason, but I do pay for my own website and direct interested parties to it with a link in my caption or statement on the art.
This strategy has landed me quite a bit of work (and more window shoppers/ tire kickers who lose interest once the learn you want to be paid for your hard work that they "loved"...
Your work seems like it would sell like crazy at air shows or in military history or aviation magazines. I need to do the same thing: promote my work at car shows and in car/ off road magazines.
My brother did this with his fish carving business and once the ground work or network of exposure was laid, he was busier than he could handle.
DA charges too much for prints, too. A price point that people will pay is hard to find. Sell cheap prints with minimal profit margin and you might do more business in bulk and still make out good. Or sell high end prints with reasonable profit margins (profit is a fair thing!) and get less buyers, but still do okay.
I'm glad to see you are reviewing your decision, I've gone thru this several times too. Even thought about shutting down my website once (I wasn't busy because I wasn't promoting it! People don't often just "happen" across my site, but they see it all the time because I attach it to everything I do online: Facebook, emails to friends, DA, etc.).
I have pretty much finalised this place as a loss-leader now.
Things have changed drastically in the last few months, and I am actually earning proper money doing none-aviation CAD work.
So I have a split - My 'hobby work' (aircraft) and my 'real work' (CAD) This means I can stop thinking about earning money from here but still take on commissions as need be, at the same time as concentrating 90% of my effort into CAD (which pays 10x aircraft work)
If you leave DA, it will be less rich and (unfortunately) more populated by mindless anime and smut.
So, hoping to see your "hobby" work from time to time (pretty most of what I put up here is in that category, too).
Alot of people, like you, get looked over becuase people perfer friggin' Sonic over planes. I know this becuase I used to draw sonic stuff, but when I stopped, 98% of my watchers left.
People just don't appricate art anymore, but you shouldn't leave becuase some one ain't buying it, Hell this should be an excuse to do better! You still have plenty of watchers, me included, Hell you inspred some of my plane designs. Keep at it man, Never Give Up!
