Again, the preview never loads. You have a real problem that you haven't solved yet, and you won't sell many figures until you do.

^ I have to agree with what oldschooldm says, and may I add that it's a shame, because I see some great potential in your minis and your artistic style. Also, your descriptions needs some work. Nothing about scale, for instance... I assume that they're 28 mm, but maybe they're 30 mm? I wouldn't be able to spot the difference by just looking at the pdf. You need to be a bit more elaborate, both when it comes to your OBS descriptions and preview, but also the pdf itself. May I suggest that you surf around at OBS and get some inspiration from how other publishers do? After all, most of them have actually sold stuff at OBS, so it might be worth the trouble looking over their shoulders.

I can open the pdf file ( I don't know why ) My personal doubts (not a criticism but just my personal tastes) remain the same as the previous file. Whereas I just wanted to see the figures, and I can't open the Full‑size Preview, I didn't pay anything. I have already rightly deleted the file. 1 - too much manga style for me 2 - a hypothetical price of two dollars ( if this file was not PWYW ) is too much for two identical figures 3 ... the total product if it was a real commercial product ( without PWYW option ) is missing a few things ... cover ... instructions ... 4 - but above all I don't like to buy mirrored figures. ( for me, and as I have already said in other topic, I don't buy paper minis with one side only. I'm sorry ). My idea is that you, taken by passion, go too fast.

The preview worked for me. The figure is ok but I am (like Rhannon) not much into manga. You might actually be in a position to conduct an experiment. You could leave this up as is for a few months and then re-release with a back and see if you get more sales or higher prices with the back included. Then you (and others like pavaro) would have some idea what a back is worth and know whether it was worth the trouble.

yifferman - When you upload a PDF to one bookshelf, I think by default it attempts to generate a "full-sized preview" (there's a link to it right below your thumbnail image). Clicking on that full-sized preview doesn't work for whatever reason. You might want to consider taking a photo of the finished product and including that in the description, so people have a better idea of what they're getting.

When I clicked on the "Full-size Preview" I saw a full sized preview.
I am respectfully recommending a revision to the title and the English language version of the product description as follows. Title = "Elf Cavalry (or Elf Light Cavalry)." Product description = "These new figures are Elf Cavalry. They can be used for wargames or RPGs such as Pathfinder."
Do you want the riders to have saddles, stirrups and bridles? There are some very nice people on this forum who can give good recommendations that help artists get their products ready for commercial distribution. Please feel free to post your drafts here for their review.

I cannot get the full size preview either. Adobe says it is not a supported format. If i click on the image i get a full one image. From the image it looks nice.

From the product banner it looks like the product line will border on Japanese porn. Not what I'm into, and not what I want to share with my kids. Not a seller I will be following...
