I REALLY MEAN IT. BIG TIME.

dude... u dont mean it

the mensis cage version is on my profile :] but it's kind of wonky-proportioned BUT thank u im glad u like it!!

Thanks for the insight !!!

I think it's mainly cause the newer generation doesnt like overly complicated skins and just go with whats popular, hence the drop and obscurity in quality these past years. Looking up the most trending skins on NameMC shows clearly a trend (eg skins with monochrome color palette and slim. This is also coming from a guy whos fairly new on making skins so..)

It doesn’t help that bedrock has essentially an offical part picker! On the quality/plagiarism front.

but otherwise I think the huge disconnect has gotten a lot narrower in more recent years (despite our communities I think being different to what it used to be/shrinking in *some* aspects) younger/newer generations of players are a lot more in tuned with things that look good and with the development of marketplace platforming and rewarding well developed content I think it’s become a lot more commonplace than it has been in the past, I’ve seen content creators now do commissions for multiple skins off skin artists, modellers etc. I remember back in the day skindex too did not have the content it does now on it and I think that progress is incredible.

Honestly I feel like there is a huge disconnect between the people who make skins as a form of art in terms of the highly detailed content versus the people who use skins. In my experience most people I see in game wear what you or I would consider the lower effort or lower skill skins and even a lot of youtubers wear these sort of skins. Not to mention part picking programs are still common place, even if they are different ones from 10 years ago. I feel as if they have always lended themselves better to lower skill content as it becomes more difficult the more complicated a skin gets to use parts of it on another skin and have it look like it all matches.
