You would think that, and I tried that recently! Those exact three colours.
Only worked for solid colours. Got lucky and sold one sphinx! Black cats have always been my best bet. Tuxedo can work, but you almost need to be lucky and have close enough markings. Grey works as well as black.

Oh that's already exactly what I meant! I hope people like them. :)

Oh my god, I get the *exact opposite*.
Most people buying dogs from me are happy for a similar dog. Cat people will comment, call people over, show me pictures of how much it looks like their cat!
But theirs has a freckle, and this one doesn't. And leave without it. Great discussion! But no sale.

Dragon people do tend to buy, so that's not a bad direction at all. :)
May I suggest a happy medium on wildlife? People love dragons/unicorns/Gryphons with the colours and patterns of things they know. (Dragon with a salmon pattern, etc). If you do make new pieces, I hope that's helpful!

I think the issue is what you've already figured. Esp with realistic leaning art, people want it *exactly* like their animal, which just isn't feasible.
Wildlife, especially local wildlife, might be a more open invitation?
I'm sorry this has been so rough. The economy certainly isn't helping.

But when I asked why he still comes when it dredges such painful memories, "Because I have to."
