What themes or specific textures are lacking or missing in the PS1/X community?

Hello all~

I've been primarily an Illustrator my whole life, but recently broke into 3D modeling for my own use as references, and I just wanted to talk a little about my process and what it is I could be putting my focus on when I provide my free texture resources. 

I take my little hand-me-down digital canon with me everywhere, and sometimes we actually get the opportunity to do some vacationing around and recently have been taking photos with the intention of getting textures from them.  I have around 1700 textures backlogged over the last few months of playing around with editing and whatnot, but outside of organizing them by type I feel like everything is still a little disjointed.

At the current moment I have the following categories; Abstract, Animals, Bark & Wood, Brick & Blocks, Buildings & Construction, Clutter, Concrete, Dirt & Mud, Doors, Effects, Fabric, Faunra, Fences, Figures, Fire, Floor & Ceiling, Flora, Fur & Feathers, Grafitti, Grass & Groundcover, Gravel & Sand, Greebles, Light & Lenses, Metal, Objects, Organic, Paper, Roof, Skybox, Stone & Gems, Vehicles, Walls, Water, Windows.

This is currently how I organize what I have going and it will probably be subject to change in the future but is there anything you see missing? Is there a type of texture you have been looking for but can't find, or texture themes you would love to see? I love making these things for myself but I also love to share the materials I make and might as well try to fill some missing gaps.

Programs I use: Croctile3D, TextureRipper, SLK_Img2Pix & Clip Studio Paint. And in the beginning of playing around with making textures, I was only editing the 128PX versions, but now I am editing the 382PX version first.
