you dont buy mantrain stuff, you convince him to make it for you.
i only know of 3 cases where he actually sold work...
for stupid amounts of creds at the time...

i agree, the community is a lazy mess and doesnt appreciate competition.
you dont get situations like when Hanz0, nacho, fnugget, mrama, nightmare and I would all enter the same request and be forced to come up with something special to win...
nor do you get the quality or the originality of the stuff we came up with.

People are just far too greedy for TC now. Now, most good texture artists don't do requests as they run the risk of losing. It's silly. Because what use to be a subsection of a board which promoted great competition for artists when they'd all have to come up with some unique and of the highest quality, has now turned into a dull area where 2 to 3 nonames post their try's and don't fix anything if their not in the lead.
Furthermore: all the great artists of the now only do sets by request, via pm. Which is just silly. Like, I get it: if I wanted a set by ManTrain (which I do lol), I'd have to PM ManTrain and cross my fingers. But if you're not "on that level" yet, you should be trying to prove yourself by winning the most requests with the most creative sets.

But the making name for yourself is the most fun part.

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)
Thanks, I was waiting for a thread like this.
