QC3 was good enough to be an elite, his old stuff was just beyond great when he came along, the clown head was made after not texturing for a year and trying to experiment
Jinxz was really good at texturing befor he left. but his older stuff was pretty average.

they could both have been eliltes if they had stayed longer, but they didnt.

Skura, well, he could have been, if he could have gotten over his ego.

Were is doxxy? Doxxy is a sick texture artist and so is ferrock2.

man you be missing a lot of people.

Nacho was always my favourite oldschool artist.














Btw I should be on this list

Gabiel made some really good texture without c/p. And he was very famous around 2009....

You guys totally forgot about cevius ExampleS

I heard that monobi started doing textures after he saw cevius' works.

Avwave should be in there. His halo series heads were really impressive as well as a few of the sets head made.
Also there was a really good pixel artist, his name was fawflaw

I say again, he was never good at requests. his personal leaf armour set is possibly one of my favorite sets of all time, but, its possibly the only set he made that i liked.

part of the elite is having a huge ego come to think of it

yeah, but his was annoying and vastly superior to his abilities.
TTM, scud and hyabusa automatically make you elite. so you dont count =/

<3

A lot of these artist are great, and i bet there are plenty out there who deserve to be up here too, but are not as famous.

I think artist with the most unique and innovative styles are the ones who are really spectacular

Anyone can do a robo head, or smudge a few lines to make a grimmy monster head ( including me)
But people like Fate, and her vector style, which you don't see a lot of, or membrians brutal yet beautiful noirish heads.

And people like ovah9000, Me (the user) are branching out artist too.
