My pleasure, Shiba! 🙂

Yes, clothing is one of those categories where I rarely find exactly what I’m looking for, though that’s probably why it’s so hard to make a perfect outfit that fits everyone’s needs.
The one thing I really wish they wouldn’t do is fighting/action outfits for females with high heels. While I understand it might be more visually appealing it’s hardly functional/realistic. Maybe it’s just me. 😀

You’re right, my muse is definitely undefeated in that battle. 🙂 I’ll let you know if I give it a try, though. It’d be most helpful to have someone test it out and get their feedback. 🙂

Thanks again!

That is so cool! Thank you for the answers.

In terms of vendor content, yeah, it definitely seems to be competitive. I think clothing is probably a good category, because it is such a broad space, it allows for great creativity/uniqueness, and there is more of a learning curve, so fewer creators. It also depends on whether we want to please our muse or our pocketbook. Difficult to do both imho. 🙂

I agree with LIK, your comments for all entries are not only insightful but also a treat to see how the trained eye of an artist sees other artist’s work. Thank you for taking the time to do so.

Congratulations to all other winners for continuing to inspire us all with your work!

To answer your questions, Shiba, I used the original shark’s skin diffuse map as a base and made my own glossy and normal maps in Substance Painter. I also painted my own diffuse map for the teeth (though you can’t really see it at this distance) in SP.
I created the vest and the cabin scene and props in Blender and textured them in SP.

As for becoming a vendor, I’ve actually thought about it, I just haven’t figured out what my niche would be in terms of content. There are already so many amazing creators in each field that it’s hard to find a place to add to, you know? If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them. 🙂

Once again, thank you all for the lovely words, they are truly appreciated! <3
