I have heard this same thing I have heard for years while doing transformers customs..
the fact still remains, some people pay thousands of dollars for some paint on a canvas, some people pay for 3d art on one of a kind customs.
Factor in the cost of figures, the materials, the years worth of experience to make something look like it does... If, lets say, his set only sells for $200, that is $160 profit. And it take about 3-5 hours to paint one of these up nice, so lets say 16 hours total, that is only $10 an hour(that is super low end) for skilled art... not that overpriced if you ask me.
but I do agree, people should always give it a try themselves. That is why I do the youtube tutorials. helping others to not make all the mistakes I have made. But yet, that is the best teacher.
