I would recommend finding or making a base for your adopts.

Look at my adopts, for example.
I made my own base for them using the Linework layer in SAI.
It's a great tool (and it has a version in Photoshop!), because it makes lines look nice and they're easily editable.

It also lets you make batches, which gives choices to people.

I don't like them but they will help me draw other anime animals. xD Then I can go higher and stuff. I think my art sucks so I have low excpectations. This is normal for me to start low. xD

I think you should try your own style before resorting to someone else's.

Why don't you try humans or Kemonomimi (humans w/ animal ears/tail) first?
I find them easier to draw and more likely to sell.

If it's a chibi, it's not difficult.
In fact, a lot of the batches I've seen are in chibi form.

But practice makes perfect and adopts are a good way to practice.
If everything goes well, after all, you should be making a lot of them. ^u^
