Thanks for the kind words :)
Of course! if I need some opinions for the next stuff I'll let you know!

Great, hopefully we can get to play some Rust. Otherwise, it's still cool to have a talented content creator in my friends list :) By they way, hit me up if you need any help with your project - I can wear the stuff so you can see it from third person and stuff like that. Cheers

I'll start thinking about some stuff!
I agree that it's pretty hard getting something positive from the community lol especially since people have very different tastes so it's impossible to make everyone happy.
You can add me of course :) I don't really play much rust anymore though I'm working full time and this game takes so much time haha

Hope you come up with more models of the museum/historic style. This never gets old, at least for me
Just realized this is a Rust workshop thread. Usually, the Rust community is very toxic, even in the workshop. People like you are more like an exception. Do you play often? Mind if I add you and we play some? Lately I am getting tired of the toxicity of this community and I'd love to play with friendly people

I really like the Museum/historic theme and I tried to make something along those lines before but I think those skins were not impactful enough.I may revisit the style and try to think about the designs a bit more!
Glad to hear that! always nice to get positive feedback :) I'm not really thinking about continuing the hero collection, that was mostly an idea I wanted to try but while pretty popular the developers didn't like it much I think..
Maybe a bit more of the industrial stuff or maybe go back to the treasure hunter style.Honestly I have lots of idea but really little time to make them haha

Oh I see now. As a customer and not a content creator, my perspective on the marketplace is a little bit different from yours
What would replace 'treasure hunt'? Maybe something like 'nobility' or 'heirloom'? Or maybe even 'historic' or 'museum'? I'm a bit curious on what do you have in mind
Good know that you are working on new stuff. I'm actually following only two people in the Rust workshop - you and the guy who has made the Glory SAR/BAR. It's crazy how you guys come up with so many new great ideas. I'm a bit curious on what direction are you taking next. Will you make more treasure hunter stuff or? I've seen you have posted some superhero skins too, which contrasts a lot from the treasure hunt set

You're totally right when it comes to the rust market but the main problem with remaking older skins (if they have been recommended on Trello) is that if you reupload them under the same name they get recommended on your previous entry on Trello.
The problem with that is the loooong list of skins recommended but not accepted which gets longer and longer so old skins are very hard to see and rarely get in the game.
Would probably be easier to just remake a similar skin but with a new name and somewhat different design.

I am of course! Always working on new stuff :) Although this week I'll probably just fix the AK47 and make the non glowing version.

From what I know, the skin policy allows people to have their skins on sale for a week, after which the skins are no longer available. Then, you can only get your skins from a reseller.

This means that as time goes, less pirate-themed skins become available to the public. People buy those skins then quit the game or take a break, new people join, etc. Please correct me if I am wrong but Rust marketplace is designed on a way that it naturally increases demand on all products. For example, there are skins that became so rare that the cost 30 bucks or even more :O

If I got it right, the game needs a constant stream of new skins of each category, including the pirate/steampunk themes.

You have mentioned 'old skins'. Are you working on new ones too? :O

Great to hear some real feedback!
I agree with your point on the contrast improvement since these haven't been accepted based on the "muddy" look which is a bit hard to read.
I'm not sure if there is still a market for the gold/pirate theme since quite a lot of those have been accepted recently so I'm still not sure about remaking my old skins but I will definitely keep your advice in mind for my next skins!

Glad I've checked your collection! I'm a big fan of golden decorated gear (currently using a bronze samurai set, the Glory SAR, Glory BAR, Native Gold Pump Shotgun and Soul Taker AK). What I use is pretty much similar to what you make, though I like your style a lot! Could be potentially even better than the stuff I have.
I hope you don't mind if I share an idea on how I believe this rifle and some other models in your library could improve.
The combo of gold + wood is amazing and I was wondering, what if the wooden parts would be darker, made out of something like ebony or mahogany? The contrast between gold/bronze and dark brown (almost black) might look really well in game. Most of the times, we are in poorly illuminated areas , so having gear with slightly more contrast would probably look more expressive. What do you think?
