I just thought I'd throw some coins in the hat. Give my pointers.
I can't speak for everyone, I can only speak for myself. I'm more into design than illustration. I still like illustration, but there's been more illustrative remakes of things rather than design. It's a shame I didn't get to do the monster hunter one (I'm not trying to come up with excuses but I just couldn't do it at the time).
I think the biggest problem is the re-make stuff. I get that it will bring attention because things like Zelda is popular and some might enjoy drawing that stuff. Personally though, I'd rather come up with something new. The monster hunter thing was amazing, same thing goes for the action figure thing. I think people like that stuff more because it's new.
And you know, it's like you said, Dan. If it keeps getting more complicated and harder, it's obvious there's going to be less people joining in. That's just the nature of it all. So we just got to think about it, what's the best rout?
For me it's less re-make stuff, more new stuff like the monster hunter and the action figure stuff. And mix it up more with concept art AND illustrations.
I think it's good that you guys take a break from it and come back to it after thinking about it.
