Hmmm. You do realize that some people actually just might consider that their textures are worth every penny in the time they took to create them.

One might consider that textures are in some cases equal to the model especially if the textures are in fact high quality.

On the one hand you have a person with the tenacity and skill involved to create, shape and move vertices in 3D space and wield that skill like a brush. On the other hand you have the 2D texture artist whose skill and cunning are nearly and/or equally the same.

Lessening the value of the 2D artist below that of a 3D modeler is almost kind of rude by suggesting that they lower their pricing scheme below that of what might have been paid for the model if it were alone by itself with merely 'gray' shading.

If a man spends 20 hours on a model and a man spends 20 hours on a 2d texture how do you actually differentiate between the value of time either took to create both.

A model is JUST a model by itself where the texture makes the model and actually brings it to life and in that case the textures value actually becomes higher than what the model is worth.

I think people are actually more than reasonable with their prices. It's the quality that would beg the price value.
