what the fuck is wrong with you people!? CP is terrible! It ruins lives! It's disgusting! Anyone who....oh wait...C&P!!! I got ya.
Sorry, was bound to happen, so I figured I would get it out the way.
Also, fuck, Im no kind of artist, but have made a number of sets for myself. If you cant even take the time to use brushes (preferably making your own, but w/e) or something, imho you have no business selling a set. If it's for personal use, w/e as long as it isnt someones TB work. I had a transitional "set" once that was some pick of a cupcake spammed all over my tori, but it didnt look cool and I didnt brag about it. But yeah, at the very least, get GIMP, get some brushes, and use them in a creative way to make something unique.

well brushing technically counts as copying.
iv always held that the final product is what matters.
there are a limited amount of GOOD brushes out there, so as long as you can make them all look individual and unique, iv never had issues.
but that often involves editing or changing shit, merging two together to make something new.
image C&P iv also got no issues, getting shit to map properly, while maintaining some semblance of order in the set, can get quite hectic. cutting a 64x128 random image and then mirroring it wouldnt quite do it for me, but if you go through a process, like, selection, checking what works where, and if the end result is ok, then iv got no issues

I really don't have a problem with copy+pasted sets. You see, textures is not what I would call art. Art is what makes you stop and think about something, whilst Toribash textures are sheets to make your doll look cooler than the other dolls.
If you're making a copy/paste set for yourself, I see no reason why people should flip out and yell at you. The case is, however, very different if you're selling it. If that's the case, you should inform the buyer about this, so that the buyer knows that no effort was really put down.
So, summed up, I'm in favor of C/P'ing if people do it right, do it for themselves, inform whoever's buying it and not at least: If they make it look good. Because that's what it all boils down to.

Yeah, that's kinda how I did it. Taking pre-existing brushes and building a face from like, two circular objects for the eyes. I also learned to make a brush myself, which made this fun.
