Hey, I'm curious... Has anyone reading this ever tried selling anything on TurboSquid?

I hadn't been to the site in YEARS, but for one reason or another I wound up there and noticed how there is a LOAD of stuff on there for sale and ti's all fairly highly priced.

I could make a zillion simple models and just stick them on there for sale, if I thought that it'd so any good. So have any of you ever done it? Do things actually sell? I haven't looked into it much at all... does the site take a cut? Probably... I should look it up...

On the other side of things - have any of you ever BOUGHT anything off there?

I saw a few users that just put up loads of texture packs. Holy crap, I've got so many textures I could put up there for sale.

It seems like it could be a good source of occasional extra income. Assuming, of course, that anyone ever actually bothers to buy stuff off there.

But then again, the site has been around FOREVER. It doesn't seem like it'd still be around if no one ever took advantage of it....

Meh - whatever.

I found your tutorials while looking for reference pics on Google, and I read through all of the drawing ones in a heartbeat. You have an amazing talent. Seeing how much you've improved since your old work (or at least, older tutorials) gives me a lot of hope for myself.
Keep up the awesome art! I'll be keeping an eye on you.

Hi from another person that found your Bakaneko site many moons ago hehe. Helped me a bit them tuts did but i tend to find it better if people dont rely to heavely on other peoples stuff so you can create your own style. Really good tuts though, just wish i could draw hands god damnit ^_^

My absolute favorite site for human reference is [link] It's a pay site, but if you can manage to subscribe for a month and just grab as much as you can, it's worth it. It has SO MANY amazing reference photos.

Hah - yeah, zsphere's suck. I've tried starting from scratch in Zbrush and working up and I just end with an epic fail. Much easier, quicker, and more efficient to just make a base mesh in a more logical program.
