oh, i know there are innovators and risk-takers out there. frankly, i wouldn't include myself. i was thinking about figure makers like Nursoda and Gareee, and material makers like you.
i don't think it's about being naive. but can you imagine what the field of music would be like if every musician learned to make music with the attitude of, "well, what will sell?" all we'd have are boy bands and teeny-bopper pop. which launched some greats back in the day, but would mean we wouldn't even have whole genres like punk, metal, new wave, techno, industrial, hip hop, and, well, almost everything. which is kind of the state we're in in CG, because even the underground is afraid to try things for fear they'll be unpopular and won't get sales, or views, or comments. everyone is so afraid of being unpopular, it's severely limiting.
