Would you buy a character design?

I see a lot of character design "adoptables" being sold on like FurAffinity and Deviantart and such, and I was wondering if that's a thing people here would be interested in? I've been trying to make adoptables myself to sell, but none of them have sparked much interest. If you WERE interested in buying such adoptables, what kind of characters would you look for? What characteristics would make you want to buy it? To clarify - you'd be buying a piece of art and the character design itself, like so: http://quezycoatl.tumblr.com/post/87152859411/this-guy-is-for-sale-for-40-customer-gets

I have mixed feelings about buying character designs. On one hand, I feel like if I really want a character, I should create my own. On the other, those adoptables usually end up looking really, really freaking cool and creative and then a bunch of ideas for character development pop up into mind. But I never have the money to spare, so it doesn't matter, haha.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Like on the one hand, I can create my own characters! But on the other, some of these adoptables are so cool and unique and are things I would never have thought of on my own. I've been tempted to buy some myself, but been out bidded (they were auctioned). Idk though, it seems like a fun way to make money! I like coming up with character designs and drawing things, but don't always know what to do with them. This way I can hone my skills and make some cash?

Oh, yeah man. If you think you can sell some designs, I say go for it. People really do buy them so long as they're creative. It'd be a nice way to make some extra bucks.

I personally wouldn't, because I like to draw my characters myself, but I think people who don't like drawing their characters could use such a sevice ^^ I've drawn the looks for a character of a friend of mine, because she herself had no experience with drawing characters.
