So, since I've been around the "elite" texture artists have changed a lot.
At first, everyone was like "OMG Nightmare had the best", so Nightmare was considered "Top-Dog", or at least highly competent.
Then later on guys like DarkJak and Rexton were making great sets..
Then EVERYONE had to have a set made by Mrama and his signature heads.
Then Vermine and Gabriel kind of stole the spot light.
I know I'm missing great people like Bendover and Joonveen in the spot light, but my memory slips.
My question is: who are the current, active, elite texture makers?
(P.S. I'm thinking of some cool concepts for sets, which is what spurred up the question to begin with)
