@ Cryogen - you are right, of course, but the hobbyist market won't support that level of expenditure. It is, however, why I stopped making skins because they're a lot of work for little reward... if you do 'em right. I never used a pre made base and built up my skins from individual photos, which is very time consuming. At the end, you're competing against thousands of others, many of which were done quickly using base textures. They don't sell for long, either, so the end result is, lots of time and effort for next to nothing back.

Models, however, seem to have a higher perceived value, regardless of the effort involved. Now, I do put a lot of time and effort into my models - even the free ones - and in return, they stick around for longer. At the moment, there's only one on sale but I hope to get more out there soon. Anyhow, the level of effort is about the same, or similar, but the rewards tend to be more long term.

All that said, if I started charging hundreds - or even thousands - I'd probably sell the square root of fuck all. I'd rather get people buying my stuff than window shopping.
