I don't know what art for toribash has in the future, but the reason I think why most of the artists keep doing the same thing is because people just don't like seeing newer thing and they don't buy stuff that not considered similer to the "legendary" artists
I myself have tried to make different stuff and try new things but whenever I do it just doesn't end up selling which is very demotivating


whenever I get art requests most of them is just people trying to buy things similer to what already was made by some "legendary" artist and giving me references of their work.



I don't know why old art made by someone that was probably sold for 5k at the time is now selling for 50k or even 500k which is pretty stupid I know that alot of the art that gets sold for alot of money for being old is actually really good but some of them is just pretty normal stuff and nothing special.


All I am saying is that the current artists don't get paid as much for what they make, I mean look at the art market right and look at how many newer really good artists are trying to sell their stuff but it just never gets sold because they are not "old legendary artist" or whatever which makes me mad, I can name alot of the current artists that I really like and I can see how much effort they put into their art but their stuff just never gets sold or just sells cheap like for example Advens, Karan , DanGerg, Obito, Scrimmietta, wtflands, wayaway I can name so many new artists that are actually really good and have their own unique style but people just keep buying the old art to just resell again..


Other than that I think retextureable items should have their own sub thread in the art/textures so people would actually start making textures for the items aswell and not make body textures all the time it's pretty stupid to have retextureable items if no one is actually going to retexture them and I don't even think people know that they can retexture some of their items..


and I would like to disagree with karstnator with the thing where he said that the new artists aren't coming up with good stuff/something new... thats all because everyone keeps comparing the newer artists to the old artists and try to find stuff like pheature 13 chillz or chris etc.. they all have new art style which you guys will eventually start liking when their art will be getting reselled after 6 or 7 years with the words "old" and "legendary" in them.




(another thing I would like to say is I hate tribal sets come on get creative )
