🗑️ 🧵 Why 3d artist/sculptors are so unoriginal compared to 2d artists.

A bit of a meta thread i guess. It's mostly about traditional miniature sculpting, not sure if this fits here.
So, with miniature sculptors you get 3 major groups.
>1) capeshit fags
Sculptors who would only do capeshit/ mainstream pop culture miniatures. I guarantee you very single one of those made le ebin Venom sclupt. Venom, Batman and wolverine are probably the most popular choices for sculpture.
>2) Warhammer/ generic fantasy miniature
Those make up about 70% of all western miniature scluptures. Historical miniatures would probably also fit here
>3) anime
Endless waifu sculpts, sometimes kaijus and tokushit. Anime sculpting style is different from westernz they would often use colored clay instead of fully painting the figure.
>Bonus group
These are the rest. Despite making mostly original creatures these guys follow artstation trends so their generic Hollywood monsters all look the same.
What i'm trying to say that, there is almost zero creativity in the 3d/sculpting community. Unlike in 2d which breeds endless amounts of OC. Why is that?
