Focus on what you love: creating art Exclusives are a way to easily and securely sell adoptables and other one-of-a-kind creations using an automated system to efficiently streamline the sales process, offering more time for your art.  Unlike offerings like premium downloads, which can have many buyers for the same work of art, exclusives are sold directly to one buyer who then becomes the exclusive owner.  Exclusives are often referred to as "adoptables" (detailed character designs or accessories), but they can also be one-of-a-kind works of digital art, photography, 3D art, and so much more!
