All models are original and scratch built by me.

Why do I always create images reusing assets over and over?

Two reasons:

1) I've built a world. I'm enjoying myself immensely within it. It's kind of like trying to imagine George Lucas without X-wings, T.I.E. Fighters, Star Destroyers and the Millennium Falcon.

2) I've had several works stolen and sold as NFT's, used as thumbnails on YouTube Videos, and put into slide shows on YouTube as well. All without my consent or expressed permission. With repeating assets (and occasional new ones), I now have enough fans of my work that they easily spot a theft when they see it and thus it is easy for me to prove I'm the originator and have the piece removed and the offending account removed as well.

While I still have the occasional problem with art theft, it has been far less frequent now that I wisely stay within the world I've created. It is instantly recognized as mine.

These are the reasons I reuse assets and infrequently create new ones.
