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.
I gotta agree with Clint in every aspect. There is this idea that a certain art style, and art motif brings the most $$$, and most people go for that.
I won't be responding to all point to point, however there is something that you mentioned that got me very interested, its this:

This is such a great idea, and I think you should make a suggestion thread about it. I've seen MariaVirgine do INSANE art when it comes to beanies, and I was already tempted to buy some, but there is no way to put value on it. If we made a section for textured items, where players can sell their art, that would be amazing.

I've already explained that to Clint, that this was your intention with the post :--)

I personally lack talent, when it comes to drawing. However, I have a huge interest in modern art, and to be honest it's my favourite way of expression. I think there would be many artists who would want to try and make something new. Make it a project similar to what GATA did years ago, where all artists can work together, and make new and interesting art. It's more about bringing the art community back to life, with what's left of us.
Once again, I appreciate everyone's activity on the thread, and can't wait to see what other people have to say :--) ESPECIALLY WAITING FOR COLLECTORS AND ARTISTS 8--)
