- Description
-
"Adopt" (often used as a noun, "an adopt") refers to a character design created by an artist that is put up for sale or trade to the public. Once a person "adopts" the character, they gain the rights to use that specific design for their own stories, art, or roleplaying. This is a massive subculture in online art communities like DeviantArt and Tumblr, where artists create unique "adoptables" based on specific themes or aesthetics. The process often involves bidding or a set price, and it is a primary way for digital artists to monetize their character design skills.
- Example
-
> I just posted a new adopt on my art account, and it's a cute espresso-themed cat for twenty dollars.
> I spent way too much money this month buying every single adopt that this artist released.
> Does anyone want to trade an adopt for some custom character art instead of cash?
