How does claiming an adoptable character work?

Leave a comment on the DeviantArt listing with 'Claim' and your PayPal or Ko-fi address. First valid comment wins. You'll receive the full-resolution file and a brief lore note within 48 hours of payment.

What do I receive when I claim an adoptable?

Full-resolution PNG (3000px+), a world-origin brief (1–2 paragraphs of lore context), and the option to use the character commercially in your own work.

Can I change the name or design after claiming?

Yes — the character is fully yours. Name, backstory, and design modifications are entirely up to you.

How do Supporter members get early access to adoptable drops?

Supporter tier ($5/month) and above receive a private link 48 hours before any drop goes public. This is the only tier benefit that affects adoptable availability.

Are adoptable characters exclusive?

Yes. Each adoptable character is sold once and never made available again. Once claimed, the design is permanently retired from the shop.

Can I commission additional art of my adopted character?

Yes. Adoptable buyers receive a discount code (30–50% off) valid for approximately 14 days after purchase, which can be used toward a commission of that character or any other.
